Brave Search

Brave Search extends your AI assistant with the ability to web search and content extraction via Brave Search API. Use for searching documentation, facts, or any web content. Lightweight, no browser required. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Brave Search as its underlying capability.

Brave Search works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Brave Search once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

To install Brave Search, copy the skill folder to `~/.claude/skills/brave-search/` for use across all your projects, or `.claude/skills/brave-search/` for a single project. Restart Claude and the skill is immediately active — invoke it with `/brave-search` or just describe your goal and the AI will pick it up automatically.

Brave Search is one of the most-installed skills on DiscoverAISkills, with over 50,999 installs — a level of adoption that reflects genuine usefulness across a wide range of workflows. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
