The Brave Search MCP/SSE Server is a tool that integrates the Brave Search API using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Server-Sent Events (SSE). It provides real-time web and local search capabilities suitable for AI model clients.

Brave Search MCP/SSE Server

An implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) using Server-Sent Events (SSE) that integrates the Brave Search API, providing AI models and other clients with web and local search capabilities through a streaming interface.

Key Design Goals:

  • Centralized Access: A single Brave Search API key can be utilized to manage access for multiple internal clients or applications.
  • Observability: Robust logging for tracking requests, API interactions, errors, and rate limits.
  • Flexible Deployment: Can be deployed privately within a network or exposed publicly through Kubernetes or Docker.

Features

  • Web Search: Access Brave's independent web search index.
  • Local Search: Find businesses and services with detailed information.
  • Smart Fallbacks: Local search that defaults to a filtered web search if needed.
  • Server-Sent Events (SSE): Real-time streaming of search results.
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) Compliance: Follows the MCP standard.
  • Docker Support: Includes a Dockerfile for deployment.
  • Helm Chart: For deployment to Kubernetes clusters.
