Web and local search using Brave's Search API
Overview

Brave Search is an MCP server implementation that utilizes the Brave Search API to provide both web and local search capabilities.

To use Brave Search, sign up for a Brave Search API account to get an API key, then configure the server in your application with the provided API key and start making search queries.

  • Web Search: Execute general queries, news, and articles with pagination and freshness controls.
  • Local Search: Find businesses and services with detailed descriptions, automatically falling back to web search if no local results are found.
  • Flexible Filtering: Control types of results, safety levels, and content freshness.
  • Smart Fallbacks: Automatically fallback to web search for local queries when no results are found.

  3. Custom filtering of search results based on user-defined criteria.

KRTR are the pre-diligence AI experts — the intelligence layer for the people who fund, accelerate, and build early-stage companies. Pre-diligence is the work that happens BEFORE term sheets and formal due diligence — the screening, triage, and pattern-matching that decides whether a deal moves forward. Done well, it compresses weeks of analyst work into minutes and surfaces the specific gaps that drive better founder conversations. Upload a pitch deck and KRTR runs a multi-agent Assess Report in 5–10 minutes: typed agent waves across LLM cascades, an AI Reviewer validating every claim against industry-specific reasoning, scores calibrated on KRTR's proprietary industry rubric so a 78 on a SaaS deal means the same peer-relative position as a 78 on a biotech deal. For individual investors and scouts: triage deal flow, capture signals, set dispositions, prep for partner meetings. See live peer activity attributed within your firm, anonymized across competitors. For VC firms, accelerators, and incubators: screener-mediated or direct intake, attributed team signals, expert invites, configurable funnel stages, and AI-synthesized deal memos ready for partner or cohort review. For founders: see exactly how investors and AI score your deck, fix the gaps the platform flags, iterate in a private sandbox, then release updates and ping engaged reviewers. KRTR Connect surfaces matched investors and programs; the Dataroom and Meeting Brief tools close the loop on every conversation. KRTR is pre-diligence intelligence — built to drive evidence-based engagement, not replace human judgment.
