API KEY
SEARCH
Every web search, news lookup, and citation your agent needs. Brave Search MCP gives your agent authenticated access to web search scoped to the user who authorized it.

Does the agent access Brave Search as the user or as a shared key?
As the user. Each workspace member authorizes once and Scalekit resolves their credential at request time. Audit logs attribute every action to that user, not a shared service account.
Where is the Brave Search api key stored?
In Scalekit's managed AES-256 token vault, namespaced per tenant. Refresh is automatic. Revocation is a single dashboard action. Tokens never appear in prompts, logs, or LLM context.
Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do in Brave Search?
Yes. Pass a tool name filter to listScopedTools so the research agent only sees the subset you authorize. Pre-API-call scope checks block out-of-policy actions before the request reaches Brave Search.
What happens when a user revokes Brave Search access?
The connection is invalidated on the next tool call. Subsequent requests for that user fail closed with a clear error. Other users in the tenant remain unaffected. The event is logged for audit.
How are Brave Search rate limits managed?
Rate limits apply per API key. Scalekit stores the key in the vault and proxies calls. Burst limits and quota are exposed in the response so the agent can backoff gracefully on throttling.
