Can I use Brave Search as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Brave Search CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Brave Search through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Brave Search tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Brave Search credentials stored?

Brave Search credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Brave Search MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Brave Search CLI for AI Agents

Use the Brave Search CLI from KosmoKrator to call Brave Search tools headlessly, return JSON, inspect schemas, and automate workflows from coding agents, scripts, and CI.

Brave Search CLI Setup

Brave Search can be configured headlessly with `kosmokrator integrations:configure brave-search`.

Install, configure, and verify

# Install KosmoKrator first if it is not available on PATH.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCompanyApp/kosmokrator/main/install.sh | bash

# Configure and verify this integration.
kosmokrator integrations:configure brave-search --set api_key="$BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmokrator integrations:doctor brave-search --json
kosmokrator integrations:status --json

Credentials

Authentication type: API key api_key. Configure credentials once, then reuse the same stored profile from scripts, coding CLIs, Lua, and MCP.

Key	Env var	Type	Required	Label
`api_key`	`BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY`	Secret `secret`	yes	API Key

Command Patterns

The generic command is stable across every integration. The provider shortcut is shorter for humans.

Generic CLI call

kosmo integrations:call brave-search.brave_search_web '{}' --json

Provider shortcut

kosmo integrations:brave-search brave_search_web '{}' --json

Discovery

These commands return structured output for coding agents that need to inspect capabilities before choosing a function.

Discovery commands

kosmo integrations:docs brave-search --json
kosmo integrations:docs brave-search.brave_search_web --json
kosmo integrations:schema brave-search.brave_search_web --json
kosmo integrations:search "Brave Search" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Automation Contexts

The same configured command surface works in these environments. The command does not change unless the host wrapper, credentials, or permissions change.

CI Run integration calls from CI jobs with JSON output, explicit credentials, and predictable exit status. Cron Jobs Schedule repeatable integration workflows from cron while keeping credentials in KosmoKrator config. Shell Scripts Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output. Headless Automation Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers. Coding Agents Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.
