It provides various search capabilities including Web Search, Local Points of Interest Search, Image Search, Video Search, and News Search. The server allows users to perform searches using different tools such as `brave_web_search`, `brave_image_search`, `brave_news_search`, `brave_local_search`, `brave_video_search`, and `brave_llm_context_search`.

Q&A

Can I filter results by how recent they are?

Yes. The freshness parameter lets you limit results to recent time frames such as pd (last 24 hours), pw (last 7 days), pm (last 31 days), py (last year), or a custom date range (e.g., 2022‑04‑01to2022‑07‑30).

Asked by Sami Virtanen · Jan 15, 2026

How can I control the number of results returned by a search?

Each tool accepts a count parameter (e.g., up to 20 for web/news searches, up to 50 for images). If omitted, defaults are 10 results for most searches.

Asked by Hannah Goldberg · Jan 8, 2026

What search types does the Brave Search MCP Server support?

It supports Web, Image, News, Video, Local Points of Interest, and LLM Context searches, each accessed via dedicated tools like brave_web_search and brave_image_search.
