The Problem
Default MCP installs grow to 70+ skills across an agent's tool surface. Each skill description costs ~150 input tokens per message. At 300 messages/week, that's 5-10 skills × $5-10/week of avoidable LLM spend per heavy user.
The Scavio Solution
2-week usage audit + drop never-invoked skills + drop duplicates + replace 5-8 narrow web/scrape skills with one Scavio MCP. Quarterly re-audit.
Before
70+ skill folder, ~10K input tokens per message just describing tools. 300 messages/week × Sonnet/Opus rates = real bill.
After
26-skill folder + Scavio MCP for the consolidated web/search/scrape role. Per-message input overhead drops 4-8K tokens.
Who It Is For
Heavy Claude Code / Hermes / OpenClaw users, agent power-users running 200+ messages/week, agencies billing per-message agent time.
Key Benefits
- Per-message input tokens drop measurably
- Routing accuracy improves (less ambiguity)
- One Scavio MCP replaces 5-8 narrow skills
- Quarterly audit prevents drift
- $5-10/week saved per heavy user
Python Example
# This is a config-discipline stack. The actionable part is one CLI line:
# claude mcp add scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp --header 'x-api-key: $SCAVIO_API_KEY'
# Plus drop unused skills from the default folder.JavaScript Example
// No JS — config discipline.Platforms Used
