Real-Time Data for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw

The Problem

Nous Research's Hermes Agent and the OpenClaw community have both shipped strong autonomous harnesses in 2026, but neither includes a first-party search tool. Users piece together SearXNG hacks, bare HTTP scrapers, or proxied Brave calls, all of which break under real agent traffic.

The Scavio Solution

Register Scavio as an MCP server in Hermes tools.json or OpenClaw's tool config. Both harnesses pick it up automatically and route search calls through Scavio with structured JSON responses. You get fresh SERP, product, and community data without maintaining a second piece of infrastructure.

Who It Is For

Users of Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, and other 2026 autonomous harnesses who need a reliable search tool.

Key Benefits

• First-class MCP integration for Hermes and OpenClaw
• Structured responses keep agent token budgets predictable
• Five platforms from one config
• Battle-tested under long-running autonomous loops
• Free tier covers dogfooding phase

Python Example

# ~/.hermes/tools.json registers MCP servers
# See JS example for the canonical config

JavaScript Example

const config = {
  mcpServers: {
    scavio: {
      command: 'npx',
      args: ['-y', '@scavio/mcp'],
      env: { SCAVIO_API_KEY: process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY },
    },
  },
};
