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.
The Brave Search MCP/SSE 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. Designed with centralized access in mind, it allows organizations or individuals to manage a single Brave Search API key and provide controlled access to multiple internal clients or applications. The server features robust logging to track requests, API interactions, errors, and rate limits, providing visibility into usage and aiding debugging. It can be deployed privately within a network or optionally exposed publicly via methods like Kubernetes Ingress or direct Docker port mapping.
