About
The Brave Search MCP Server is Brave's open-source MCP server for the Brave Search API. It gives your agent live results from Brave's own independent search index: the web, news, images, videos, local businesses and places, plus AI summaries and page content ready for grounding answers. What you can do with it - Search the web, with filters for country, language, freshness and safe search - Find current news articles, images and videos - Look up local businesses and points of interest, with addresses, opening hours, contact details and ratings - Pull ranked, extracted page content to ground an answer (Brave's LLM Context) - Summarize web results with Brave's AI summarizer - Re-rank results with Goggles, Brave's custom re-ranking rules How it connects It runs on your machine with npx -y @brave/brave-search-mcp-server (or Brave's Docker image, mcp/brave-search) and talks to your agent over stdio. Brave documents setup for Claude Desktop and VS Code. Signing in It needs a Brave Search API key. Create one in Brave's API dashboard and set it as BRAVE_API_KEY. The API runs on prepaid credits, and Brave's plans include free credits every month. Good to know - It only searches and reads; it doesn't change anything. - You can limit which tools it offers with BRAVE_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS or BRAVE_MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS. - It can also run as an HTTP server you host yourself (--transport http).
