Brave Search

A straightforward wrapper around Brave's Search API that keeps Claude out of a full browser when you just need search results or page content. You get up to 20 results per query with options for date filtering, country targeting, and optional markdown content extraction. The setup requires a free Brave API account (credit card needed but not charged), and you can pipe results straight into your workflow without the overhead of browser automation. Honestly, this is what you want 80% of the time when Claude needs to search the web. The markdown extraction is clean enough for documentation lookup and fact checking without dealing with raw HTML or JavaScript rendering.
