Ground Coding Agents with MCP Search

The Problem

Coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, opencode) write code using deprecated APIs, wrong package versions, and fabricated function signatures because they rely on stale training data.

The Scavio Solution

Add Scavio MCP server to the coding agent configuration. The agent searches for current documentation before writing code. Configuration: one line in .mcp.json. Cost: 3-5 searches per coding task at $0.015-0.025.

Who It Is For

Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, or opencode who want their AI coding agent to verify documentation before writing code.

Key Benefits

• Agent verifies docs before writing code
• Prevents deprecated API usage
• 3-5 searches per task ($0.015-0.025)
• Free tier covers 50-80 coding tasks
• One config line for setup

Python Example

# .mcp.json configuration
import json

config = {'mcpServers': {'scavio': {
    'url': 'https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp',
    'headers': {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}}}}

with open('.mcp.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(config, f, indent=2)

# After configuration, the coding agent can search:
# 'What is the current Stripe API version?'
# 'Express.js rate limiting middleware 2026'
# 'Prisma vs Drizzle latest benchmarks'
print('MCP search configured')

JavaScript Example

const fs = require('fs');
const config = {mcpServers: {scavio: {
  url: 'https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp',
  headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}}}};
fs.writeFileSync('.mcp.json', JSON.stringify(config, null, 2));
console.log('MCP search configured for coding agent');
