Brave Search MCP Server
Last updated December 15, 2024
An MCP server that integrates Brave Search API with AI assistants for web, image, video, news, and local search.
Brave Search MCP Server is an open-source Model Context Protocol implementation that connects AI assistants with Brave Search's privacy-first search engine. It provides natural language access to web search, local business search, images, videos, and news, along with AI-powered summarization. Supporting both STDIO and HTTP transports, the server is optimized for MCP environments like Claude Desktop and Cursor. Developers can configure search parameters such as safesearch, freshness filters, languages, and result types, enabling fine-grained control of search queries. By removing base64-encoded images in v2.x, it improves performance and aligns more closely with Brave Search API responses.
