Implementation Reference
- src/brave.ts:7-17 (handler)The inline handler function for the 'brave_search' tool. It takes a query, constructs an LSD scraping script for Brave search results, executes it via runLSD, and formats the extracted links into a text response.
server.tool("brave_search", "Search Brave for possibly relevant links to a query", { query: z.string() }, async ({ query }) => { const result = await runLSD(`FROM https://search.brave.com?search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)} |> G ROUP BY div.snippet |> SELECT a@href AS result_link`); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Here are the results for searching on Brave for: ${query}\n\n${JSON.stringify(result)}` }] } }) - src/brave.ts:7-7 (schema)Zod input schema for the brave_search tool, requiring a 'query' string parameter.
server.tool("brave_search", "Search Brave for possibly relevant links to a query", { query: z.string() }, async ({ query }) => { - src/brave.ts:6-18 (registration)The applyBraveTool function that registers the brave_search tool, including its description, schema, and handler, onto the MCP server.
export const applyBraveTool = (server: McpServer) => { server.tool("brave_search", "Search Brave for possibly relevant links to a query", { query: z.string() }, async ({ query }) => { const result = await runLSD(`FROM https://search.brave.com?search?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)} |> G ROUP BY div.snippet |> SELECT a@href AS result_link`); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Here are the results for searching on Brave for: ${query}\n\n${JSON.stringify(result)}` }] } }) } - src/index.ts:14-14 (registration)During server initialization, applyBraveTool is called to register the brave_search tool.
applyBraveTool(server); - src/lsd.ts:3-9 (helper)Helper function runLSD used by the brave_search handler to execute LSD (likely 'Liquid Scrape Data') code using the 'internetdata' library's drop.tab() for web scraping.
export const runLSD = async ( code: string, ): Promise<Array<Record<string, any>>> => { const trip = await drop.tab(); const results = await trip.execute(code); return results; };
