mikechao/brave-search-mcp
An MCP Server implementation that integrates the Brave Search API, providing, Web Search, Local Points of Interest Search, Image Search, Video Search, News Search and LLM Context Search capabilities
Exposes six distinct search tools through the Model Context Protocol, including a specialized `brave_llm_context_search` function that pre-extracts and tokenizes web content for RAG pipelines with configurable filtering modes. Supports both stdio and HTTP transport modes, with UI widgets for OpenAI Apps and MCP Apps that allow users to selectively control which results get added to model context. Built as an npm package requiring only a Brave Search API key to deploy, with fallback logic (e.g., local search defaults to web search if no location results found) for graceful degradation.
