The Problem
An r/Qwen_AI post: qwen-code's built-in web_search tool was removed in PR #3502 (May 2026) in favor of MCP-based search. Users want batteries-included; the answer is one MCP config away.
The Scavio Solution
Add Scavio MCP to qwen-code's mcp.json. One config line restores web search and adds Reddit + YouTube + Amazon + Walmart. Same MCP works in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, opencode — neutral across the agent runtimes.
Before
qwen-code post-PR-3502 has no web search. Users hit the wall of 'how do I get search back'.
After
Scavio MCP attached via one config line. Web search restored plus four other platforms under the same key. Agent runtime stays vendor-neutral.
Who It Is For
qwen-code users, opencode users, any CLI agent that lost a built-in web tool, MCP-curious devs.
Key Benefits
- One config line
- Multi-platform under one MCP
- Works across qwen-code, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf
- Typed JSON output
- User chooses the search vendor
