Search the web, images, videos, news, and local places through Brave's independent index. Get comprehensive web search with FAQ/Discussion/News/Video results, local business and POI lookup, dedicated media and news endpoints, AI-generated summarization, and pre-extracted, relevance-ranked page content for RAG grounding.
OpenCode is an open-source agent for the terminal. Remote MCP servers go in its config file and sign in through OAuth.
This guide connects Brave Search to OpenCode through MewCP, so OpenCode can use Brave Search's 8 tools, like search_web, search_local and search_videos, without your Brave Search credentials ever reaching the app.
Your Brave Search API key is stored encrypted and injected only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it, log it or paste it into a prompt.

Scrape, extract, and understand the web, plus identify any company from a domain, email, name, or transaction string. This MCP server exposes Context.dev's API for web scraping in multiple formats (raw HTML, Markdown, screenshots, images, sitemaps, and web search), schema-driven structured data extraction, design-system extraction (styleguides and fonts), and brand intelligence lookups. It's built for AI agents that read, summarize, or monitor web content, for enriching CRM, KYC, or fintech pipelines with company and brand data, and for extracting a competitor's design system or structured product and pricing data at scale.
Other clients
Brave Search works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact Brave Search tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
Edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, or opencode.json in your project root.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.
Performs web searches using the Brave Search API and returns comprehensive search results with rich metadata. When to use: - General web searches for information, facts, or current topics - Location-based queries (restaurants, businesses, points of interest) - News searches for recent events or breaking stories - Finding videos, discussions, or FAQ content Returns a JSON list of web results with title, description, and URL. When result_filter is empty, results may also contain FAQ, Discussions, News, and Video items.
Searches for local businesses and places via the Brave Search API. Returns ratings, addresses, phone numbers, hours, and AI descriptions. Access to enriched POI data requires a Brave Search API Pro plan; the tool gracefully falls back to web results if local data is unavailable.
Searches for videos via the Brave Search API. Returns titles, URLs, durations, view counts, creators, and thumbnails.
Searches for images via the Brave Search API. Returns direct image URLs, source pages, and dimensions. Images are returned as URLs — no base64 encoding.
Searches for current news articles via the Brave Search API. Returns headlines, sources, publication age, and descriptions.
Retrieves points of interest (POIs) with structured business data via Brave's dedicated place-search endpoint. Returns addresses, hours, ratings, categories, and contact info. Geographic context is required — provide latitude/longitude or a location string (e.g. 'san francisco ca united states'). Access requires a Brave Search API Pro plan.
Retrieves an AI-generated summary of web search results using Brave's Summarizer API. Workflow: call search_web with summary=true first, then pass the returned summarizer_key to this tool. Requires a Brave Search API Pro AI subscription.
Retrieves pre-extracted, relevance-ranked web content using Brave's LLM Context API, optimised for AI agents, LLM grounding, and RAG pipelines. Unlike a web search (links + short descriptions), this tool returns the actual substance of matching pages — text chunks, tables, code blocks — so the model can reason over it directly. When to use: - Grounding answers in fresh, relevant web content (RAG) - Question answering and fact-checking against current sources - Gathering source material without manually fetching pages When relaying results in markdown environments, cite source URLs from the 'sources' map.
