Web search and content extraction via Brave Search API. Use for searching documentation, facts, or any web content. Lightweight, no browser required.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Brave Search
Headless web search and content extraction using Brave Search API. No browser or setup required.
## Requirements
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (dependencies managed automatically via inline metadata)
- `BRAVE_API_KEY` environment variable
## Search
```bash
{baseDir}/search.py "query" # Basic search (5 results)
{baseDir}/search.py "query" -n 10 # More results
{baseDir}/search.py "query" --content # Include page content as markdown
{baseDir}/search.py "query" -n 3 --content # Combined
```
## Extract Page Content
```bash
{baseDir}/content.py https://example.com/article
```
Fetches a URL and extracts readable content as markdown.
## Output Format
```
--- Result 1 ---
Title: Page Title
Link: https://example.com/page
Snippet: Description from search results
Content: (if --content flag used)
Markdown content extracted from the page...
--- Result 2 ---
...
```
## Special URL Handling (CRITICAL)
**DO NOT use Brave Search for these URLs. Use the correct tool instead:**
- **GitHub URLs**: **ALWAYS** use the `gh` CLI instead (e.g., `gh api`, `gh repo view`, `gh issue view`, etc.)

How to install
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/brave-search@sha256:d6aa654fcdc1daa3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.788be98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
