Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brave Search MCP?

Web, Image, News, Video, and Local Point of Interest search capabilities using Brave's Search API

Is Brave Search MCP safe to use?

We cannot tell you that, and nobody scanning at this scale can. What we did in March 2026 was shallow-clone Brave Search MCP and run five keyword searches over its source: auth identifiers, CORS configuration, rate-limit identifiers, the dependency manifest against a hardcoded list of 18 known-vulnerable packages, and unguarded eval/exec calls. None of them matched. A text search cannot follow a variable, judge intent, or tell you what a server does once it is running, so "nothing matched" is not "safe". What the scan does and does not cover is written out at /mcp/security.

What are alternatives to Brave Search MCP?

Similar MCP servers include Agent Skills Search Server, Airweave Search, Exa MCP Server. Each serves a similar purpose but may differ in features, language, and compatibility.
