Common questions

Is Searchport safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 12 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 12 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

searchport

searchport is one doorway to five kinds of Brave search. A single question can be asked against the general web index, local business listings, current news, images, or videos, and every answer comes back in the same shape: a title, the address it lives at, a short excerpt, and one extra line of detail that fits the kind — how long ago a story ran, how long a video plays, where a shop is and how it is rated. It runs from the command line or as an MCP server for agents.

A Brave Search API subscription key is required. Put it in the BRAVE_API_KEY environment variable; the key is sent to the API as the X-Subscription-Token header and never appears in output. When the variable is missing, every search fails with an error that names it.

Install

npx @reneturcios/searchport web "trail running shoes"

Or run the container image:

docker run -i -e BRAVE_API_KEY ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/searchport

The container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.

CLI

export BRAVE_API_KEY="your subscription key"

General web search; --count is results per page (max 20),

--offset pages forward (max 9)

searchport web "composting basics" searchport web "composting basics" --count 5 --offset 1

The other four kinds take the same query and --count

searchport local "bakery near the mission" --count 5 searchport news "trail network vote" searchport images "ridge sunrise" searchport videos "trail running form"

Machine-readable output for any kind

searchport web "composting basics" --json

searchport --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when a search fails (including a missing BRAVE_API_KEY or an API error), 2 for usage errors.

MCP server

One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @reneturcios/searchport mcp

MCP client configuration:

"mcpServers": { "searchport": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/searchport", "mcp"], "env": { "BRAVE_API_KEY": "your subscription key" } } } }

Tools

Tool	Input	What it returns
`brave_web_search`	`query` (string, required), `count` (number, optional), `offset` (number, optional)	Web results as a numbered text block: title, URL, and excerpt per result.
`brave_local_search`	`query` (string, required), `count` (number, optional)	Local listings: name, URL, and a detail line with address, phone, and rating when the API provides them.
`brave_news_search`	`query` (string, required), `count` (number, optional)	News stories: headline, URL, summary, and the story's age.
`brave_image_search`	`query` (string, required), `count` (number, optional)	Image results: title, source page URL, and the direct image URL.
`brave_video_search`	`query` (string, required), `count` (number, optional)	Video results: title, URL, description, and duration.

Counts are clamped to the API's per-page limit of 20 and offsets to its maximum of 9. An empty result set is reported as such, not as an error; a missing key or a failed API call is reported as a tool error.
