Flori / MCP servers

Brave Search MCP server

Short answer: Yes. Brave Search has an official MCP server: io.github.brave/brave-search-mcp-server, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified brave GitHub organisation and installed as the npm package @brave/brave-search-mcp-server.

This page covers the official server for Brave Search and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.

Is there an official Brave Search MCP server?

Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under Brave Search's own namespace: io.github.brave/brave-search-mcp-server. 2 community servers are listed too.

How do I connect the Brave Search MCP server to Claude?

A local package is listed as @brave/brave-search-mcp-server. Use the publisher's installation instructions for its complete command, arguments and authentication settings. A package name alone is not a complete Claude Desktop or Claude Code configuration.

The registry also lists these authentication or required environment fields: BRAVE_API_KEY (secret). Follow the publisher's guidance on which ones your authentication method needs, and keep secrets out of shared files.

Does the Brave Search MCP server work with ChatGPT?

This listing includes a local package but no hosted endpoint. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote server; check the publisher's current instructions for a hosted option. The registry entry alone does not establish whether the vendor offers one.

How do I add it to Cursor?

Use the publisher's Cursor or local MCP instructions to fill in .cursor/mcp.json. Include its complete arguments and required environment fields; the package listing above is not a ready-to-run configuration.
