You can obtain a Brave Search API key from [Brave Search API](https://brave.com/search/api/).
</Step>
<Step title="Create a file">
Create a new file `brave_search.py` with the following code:
```python
from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
import os
# Use the API key from environment or set it directly
brave_api_key = os.getenv("BRAVE_API_KEY") or "your_brave_api_key_here"
# Use a single string command with environment variables
search_agent = Agent(
instructions="""You are a helpful assistant that can search the web for information.
Use the available tools when relevant to answer user questions.""",
llm="gpt-4o-mini",
tools=MCP("npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search", env={"BRAVE_API_KEY": brave_api_key})
)
search_agent.start("Search more information about AI News")
```
</Step>
<Step title="Install Dependencies">
Make sure you have Node.js installed, as the MCP server requires it:
```bash
pip install praisonaiagents
```
</Step>
<Step title="Run the Agent">
Execute your script:
```bash
python brave_search.py
```
