Use with Agent-CoreX

Agent-CoreX intelligently routes which tools from Brave Search your AI agent actually needs per request — reducing token usage and cost.

agent-corex.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brave-search": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY": "<your-brave_search_api_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Route Brave Search intelligently

Connect in 2 minutes. Only pay for the tools your agent actually uses.
