Brave Search MCP Sse MCP Server

An MCP server implementation that integrates the Brave Search API, providing both web and local search capabilities.

The short version

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.

This server acts as a tool provider for Large Language Models that understand the Model Context Protocol. It exposes Brave's powerful web and local search functionalities via an SSE connection, allowing for real-time streaming of search results and status updates.

• Web Search — Access Brave's independent web search index for general queries, news, articles, etc. Supports pagination and filtering controls
• Local Search — Find businesses, restaurants, and services with detailed information like address, phone number, and ratings
• Smart Fallbacks — Local search automatically falls back to a filtered web search if no specific local results are found for the query
• Server-Sent Events (SSE) — Efficient, real-time streaming of search results and tool execution status
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) — Adheres to the MCP standard for seamless integration with compatible clients
• Docker Support — Includes a Dockerfile for easy containerization and deployment
