This is an MCP server from Brave that exposes the Brave Search API to MCP clients, covering web, image, video, news, local/place, summarizer, and LLM context searches with configurable parameters like country, language, safesearch, freshness, and result filters. It runs over stdio by default (with an HTTP option via environment variable) and requires a Brave Search API key.
You want to give an MCP-compatible agent live Brave search results, including local businesses, media, and AI summaries, through a single server.
Use it to
- Run web, image, video, and news searches from an MCP client
- Find local businesses and points of interest with location filtering
- Generate AI summaries from web search results
- Build token-limited LLM context from search results
- Filter and tune results by freshness, safesearch, and goggles
For Developers wiring search into MCP-compatible assistants and agents
