Brave 官方搜索 MCP server（MIT）：给 agent 补一路独立检索源（web/新闻/图像/地点）。一条归档事实：MCP 组织仓里的旧 Brave reference 已归档，官方 README 明写由 @brave 包接替—— 本条目就是现役那条。

Brave's official search MCP server (MIT): an independent retrieval source for agents (web/news/images/places). One archival fact: the old Brave reference in the MCP org repo was archived, and the official README says the @brave package replaces it — this profile is the live one.

适合与不适合When to use it, when not to

适合：要独立于模型内置搜索的检索面、纯读低风险接入。不适合：要抓正文（fetch 线）；零配置无 key 场景。

Fits: an independent retrieval lane besides built-in model search; low-risk read-only integration. Not a fit: deep content scraping (fetch line); zero-config no-key scenarios.

模型与开放条件Model & openness: 它自己不调模型——被 MCP 客户端调用的接口实现。它把 Brave Search API （web 搜索、新闻、图像、local 地点）包装成工具给 agent 用。
It calls no model itself — an interface implementation called by MCP clients. It wraps the Brave Search API (web search, news, images, local places) as tools for agents.
运行位置Where it runs: 本地进程（npx stdio）+ 远程托管线（官方有 remote 端点说明）；GitHub 1,544★，最近推送 2026-10-27（API 核验）。
A local process (npx stdio) plus a remote-hosted line (the official docs describe a remote endpoint); GitHub 1,544★, last push 2026-10-27 (API verified).
本地文件Local files: 不读写本机文件——它输出搜索结果文本/链接；抓取网页内容不在它范围（那是 fetch server 的活）。
Reads and writes no local files — it outputs search-result text/links; fetching page content is out of its scope (that is the fetch server's job).
关机后的任务Tasks after shutdown: stdio 随客户端生死；无后台任务语义。
stdio lives and dies with the client; no background-task semantics.
工具与扩展Tools & extensions: web_search / news_search / image_search / video_search / local_search 等按 API 族分组，可按配置裁剪启用；完整清单以仓 README 为准。
web_search / news_search / image_search / video_search / local_search etc., grouped by API family, trimmable via configuration; the complete inventory follows the repo README.
上下文与记忆Context & memory: 无跨会话记忆——每次搜索独立。
No cross-session memory — each search is independent.
权限与限制Permissions & limits: Brave Search API key（免费层/付费层按 Brave API 账户走）；纯读面—— 它不能写任何系统，风险面主要是查询内容外发与配额消耗。
A Brave Search API key (free/paid tiers follow the Brave API account); a pure read surface — it cannot write to any system; the risk surface is mainly query egress and quota consumption.
适合什么任务Best for: 适合：给 agent 补「现役搜索」能力（reference 的 Brave 版归档后，官方 @brave 包接替）、要独立于大模型内置搜索的检索源。不适合：要深度抓取正文（fetch/firecrawl 线）；无 API key 的零配置场景。
Fits: giving an agent a "live search" capability (after the archived Brave reference in the MCP repo, the official @brave package took over), a retrieval source independent of the LLM's built-in search. Not a fit: deep content fetching (the fetch/firecrawl line); zero-configuration scenarios without an API key.
传输方式Transport: stdio（npx @brave/brave-search-mcp-server）为主；官方另有远程线说明——未逐条核验。核验：仓 README（2026-10-21 直抓）。
stdio (npx @brave/brave-search-mcp-server) is primary; the official docs also describe a remote line — not verified item by item. Verified against: the repo README (direct-fetched 2026-10-21).
认证机制Authentication: BRAVE_API_KEY 环境变量；key 的配额/套餐层按 Brave API 账户（D9 不采价格）。
The BRAVE_API_KEY environment variable; the key's quota/plan tiers follow the Brave API account (prices not collected per our price-recording policy).
权限范围Permission scope: 纯读：搜索族工具（web/news/image/video/local）。无写面；无审批需求。
Pure read: the search-family tools (web/news/image/video/local). No write surface; no approval needed.

头号误解Top misconception

用 modelcontextprotocol 仓里的旧 Brave reference——已归档，现役是官方 @brave/brave-search-mcp-server（官方 README 明写接替关系）Using the archived Brave reference in the modelcontextprotocol repo — it is archived; the live line is the official @brave/brave-search-mcp-server (the official README states the replacement)
把「搜索」当「抓取」——它返回结果摘要与链接，不抓正文Reading 'search' as 'scrape' — it returns result summaries and links, not page bodies
API key 配额与计费层按 Brave 账户走——报价记录约定：本站不记价格数字Quota and billing follow the Brave API account — this site records no price figures (rule D9)
