Overview

What is mcp2brave?

mcp2brave is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that uses the Brave API to perform web searches. It is designed for developers who want to integrate Brave search capabilities into MCP‑compatible AI tools such as Claude, Cline, or Continue.

How to use mcp2brave?

Install the server using UV and set your Brave API key in the .env file. To use it as a Claude extension, run fastmcp install mcp2brave.py. For development or manual configuration (e.g. with Cline or Continue), add the provided JSON block to your MCP server configuration file. Two tools are exposed: search_web(query) and search_web_info(query).

FAQ from mcp2brave

What are the system requirements?

Python 3.11+, the UV package manager, and a valid Brave API key.

How do I obtain a Brave API key?

The README does not specify how to get one; it must be set as the Brave_API_KEY environment variable.

What tools does mcp2brave provide?

Two tools: search_web(query) – standard Brave search – and search_web_info(query), which is the same but with a Chinese description.

Can I use mcp2brave without Claude?

Yes. It can be manually added to any MCP client (e.g., Cline, Continue) by inserting the JSON configuration into the client’s MCP server settings file.

Are there any known limitations?

The virtual environment must be active before running commands. If encoding issues arise, ensure the system uses UTF‑8 encoding.
