The Problem
An r/codex post: web research inside coding agents still sucks. Agents block waiting or dump 10K tokens into context. Solo developers paying for Perplexity Pro want zero-marginal-cost deep research.
The Scavio Solution
Comet Skill (CDP-based delegation to your logged-in Comet browser) + Scavio MCP (typed multi-platform fast lookup) + Claude Code or Codex as the agent runtime. Two skills with clear roles: Comet for deep multi-step research; Scavio for fast typed-JSON SERP/Reddit/YouTube/Amazon. Free Comet path uses your existing Pro subscription.
Before
Agent blocks for 5+ minutes waiting on a deep research call, or dumps 10K tokens into context. Solo devs balk at adding Perplexity API spend on top of Pro.
After
Agent delegates: comet_research returns a /search/<id> URL in seconds; agent continues other work; user reviews the Perplexity thread when ready. Scavio MCP handles fast typed lookups inside the same flow. $50/mo total tool spend.
Who It Is For
Solo developers paying for Perplexity Pro, indie builders avoiding additional API spend, hobby coders running daily Claude Code or Codex sessions.
Key Benefits
- Free Comet path (uses existing Pro)
- Agent stays unblocked
- Delegated research returns URL not 10K tokens
- Scavio MCP handles fast typed lookups
- Two clearly-named tool surfaces
Python Example
# Setup is config:
# 1. Install Comet Skill from github.com/ammarshah1n/comet-skill per repo README
# 2. claude mcp add scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp --header 'x-api-key: $SCAVIO_API_KEY'
# 3. System prompt: 'For fast typed lookups call scavio.search; for deep multi-step research call comet_research.'JavaScript Example
// Config + system-prompt routing rule; no application code.Platforms Used
