Cursor's context window is precious. Raw doc sites load with nav, cookie banners, and footers that waste 40 to 60% of the window. Scavio's structured content fetcher plus MCP integration strips chrome and returns LLM-ready markdown, so the agent reads more of what matters.
Prerequisites
- Cursor IDE latest
- A Scavio API key
- Node.js 20+
Walkthrough
Step 1: Open Cursor MCP settings
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
Bash
code ~/.cursor/mcp.jsonStep 2: Register the Scavio MCP
One config block adds scavio_fetch and scavio_search tools.
JSON
{
"mcpServers": {
"scavio": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"],
"env": { "SCAVIO_API_KEY": "${SCAVIO_API_KEY}" }
}
}
}Step 3: Reload Cursor
Restart the IDE to discover MCP tools.
Text
# Cmd+Shift+P then Reload WindowStep 4: Fetch a doc page in chat
Ask Cursor to pull and summarize a doc URL.
Text
@scavio fetch https://docs.prisma.io/orm/prisma-migrate and summarize the breaking changes in v6.Step 5: Verify token savings
Check the input-token count versus a raw paste.
Text
# Before: ~8,000 tokens of raw HTML
# After: ~2,500 tokens of structured markdownPython Example
Python
# Cursor uses the MCP directly; no Python code required.
# Direct API call for parity:
import requests, os
API_KEY = os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']
r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/extract',
headers={'x-api-key': API_KEY},
json={'url': 'https://docs.prisma.io/orm/prisma-migrate', 'format': 'markdown'})
print(r.json().get('markdown', '')[:500])JavaScript Example
JavaScript
const API_KEY = process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY;
const r = await fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/extract', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'x-api-key': API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://docs.prisma.io/orm/prisma-migrate', format: 'markdown' })
});
console.log(((await r.json()).markdown || '').slice(0, 500));Expected Output
JSON
Clean markdown representation of the doc page, stripped of nav and cookies. Cursor's context fills with content instead of chrome.
