Privacy-first web and local search via Brave Search API
The Brave Search MCP Server provides privacy-first web search and local business search through the Brave Search API. Your AI assistant can perform web queries, get search results with snippets, and look up local businesses without tracking.
Built as part of the official MCP reference servers, this server wraps the Brave Search API to deliver web search results and local points of interest. It supports both general web search and location-based local search.
Great for AI workflows that need up-to-date web information, research tasks, or local business lookups while respecting user privacy.
