Brave MCP Search

Policy

  1. Prefer searxng-local-search first for normal web lookups.
  2. Use this Brave MCP skill when:
    • the user explicitly asks for Brave,
    • SearXNG is unavailable,
    • or SearXNG results look weak and a second opinion would help.
  3. Label answers clearly as using Brave MCP.

Endpoint

Default local endpoint:

  • http://192.168.153.113:18802/mcp

You can override with BRAVE_MCP_URL.

Quick usage

scripts/search.sh "your query"

With options:

scripts/search.sh "your query" '{"country":"US","search_lang":"en","ui_lang":"en-US","count":8}'

Supported common options:

  • country
  • search_lang
  • ui_lang
  • count
  • freshness
  • safesearch

Notes

  • This uses the local Brave MCP service through mcporter.
  • It does not configure OpenClaw's built-in web_search provider.
  • Native web_fetch remains the preferred lightweight fetch tool for page reads.
