Brave Search

# Brave Search

Web and local search through the Brave Search API. Needs a Brave API subscription key.

- **Publisher of the server:** Brave
- **Upstream:** https://brave.com/search/api/
- **Documentation:** https://brave.com/search/api/
- **Transport:** stdio (local process)
- **Command:** `npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search`

## Credentials and configuration

- BRAVE_API_KEY environment variable

These are **placeholders describing what to supply**; the registry stores no credentials. Enter real values in your own AO instance when you create the connection.

## Tools (6)

- `brave_web_search` — Search the public web.
- `brave_local_search` — Search for local businesses and places.
- `brave_video_search` — Search for videos.
- `brave_image_search` — Search for images.
- `brave_news_search` — Search recent news articles.
- `brave_web_fetch` — Fetch and parse a specific web page.

## Risk

Declared risk: **low**. None of the listed tools is named as a dedicated write operation (judged from tool names only; a general-purpose tool such as a SQL or fetch call can still have effects — see the declared risk).
