Example Use Cases

1
Execute web searches (news, articles, and general queries) with pagination, result filtering, and freshness controls.
2
Find local businesses, restaurants, and services with detailed information and automatic fallback to web search when local results are missing.
3
A drop-in MCP server deployment (Docker or npx) to integrate Brave Search via an API key for automated or agent-driven queries.

Description

This MCP server wraps the Brave Search API to offer both web search (general queries, news, articles) and local business/service search with detailed results. It supports pagination, result count limits, safety and freshness controls, and automatically falls back from local to web search when no local results are found. The project is packaged for easy deployment (Docker or npx) and requires a Brave Search API key. It is distributed under the MIT License for easy integration and modification.
