What it does
Brave's official search server (`brave/brave-search-mcp-server`) exposes the Brave Search API — web, local-business, news, image, and video search, plus AI summarization and pre-extracted LLM context — for research and RAG agents. Search results are deterministic API calls. Ships as a local-stdio command (a hosted endpoint is provisioned via the Brave API dashboard).
Example prompts
- Search the web for the latest on the Model Context Protocol and summarize.
- Find coffee shops near downtown Austin with good ratings.
Tools provided
- brave_web_search — Run a web search.
- brave_local_search — Search local businesses and places.
- brave_news_search — Search recent news.
- brave_image_search — Search images.
- brave_summarizer — Return Brave's AI summary for a query.

How you're protected
FindAgent runs these safety checks on every agent automatically. They're always on and can't be turned off.
- Prompt-injection scanning
Every request is checked for known prompt-injection and jailbreak attempts before the agent runs. This is always on.
- Secret-leak scanning
Every response is scanned for leaked API keys, tokens, and other secrets before it reaches you. This is always on.
