Description

This MCP server connects agents to the Brave Search API to perform web searches (with pagination, freshness, and safety controls) and local business searches that automatically fall back to web results when none are found. It includes tooling for Docker and NPX deployment and integration guidance for Claude Desktop and VS Code. The server requires a Brave API key and supports configurable result counts and offsets to tailor search responses to agent needs.
