Providers that often go with Brave Search are Exa, Tavily, Serper, Linkup, SearchApi. All of them sit behind the same looot MCP connection.
Exa and Tavily search the web for agents, Serper and SearchApi return Google results, and Linkup searches and fetches pages, all behind the same looot connection. See /mcp/exa, /mcp/tavily and /mcp/serper, or ask your agent to compare prices in the looot catalog before it runs.
Brave's own server needs a Brave Search API key and covers Brave alone, including local search and the summarizer. Through looot, one key reaches Brave's web, news, image and video search plus every other search provider in the catalog, so your agent can fall back to another one when Brave misses.
