Description

This server implements the Model Context Protocol over Server-Sent Events and exposes Brave Search's web and local search capabilities to MCP-compatible clients. It streams search results and execution status in real time, supports smart local-search fallbacks, and is designed for centralized API key management and observability. Deployable via Docker or Helm, it is suited for private or internal deployments where multiple agents or applications need controlled access to Brave Search.
