We couldn’t confirm it starts correctly

We ran the install command but it didn't respond within our test window — this can mean a slow first-time install rather than a real problem.

npx -y @isnow890/naver-search-mcp

No response to initialize.

This is an experimental automated check and can have false negatives — missing environment variables, a slow cold install, etc. It doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong. Last checked 1mo ago.

Overview

The isnow890/naver-search-mcp MCP server exposes Naver Search and DataLab APIs as MCP tools. It supports web, news, blog, cafe, image, KnowledgeiN, encyclopedia, and local searches, plus search and shopping trend analysis. Use it when an agent needs Naver-specific results or Korean-market trend data. It supports credentials from either NAVER API HUB or the legacy Naver Developers platform.

Use cases

  • Search Naver news for current topics
  • Retrieve Naver blog and cafe results
  • Compare search-term trends with DataLab
  • Analyze shopping trends by audience segment
  • Find Naver local places

How Naver Search MCP works

What isnow890/naver-search-mcp MCP server does

The isnow890/naver-search-mcp MCP server gives an MCP client access to Naver search and analytics endpoints. Search coverage includes web documents, news, blogs, cafe articles, images, KnowledgeiN, encyclopedia entries, and local places. The server also exposes DataLab operations for search-term trends and shopping insights.

A separate find_category tool accepts a category description in natural language and helps identify category information needed by trend and shopping insight queries. This avoids requiring users to manually identify category numbers from Naver URLs.

How it works

The isnow890/naver-search-mcp MCP server runs locally as an npm package and communicates with the MCP client over standard input and output when configured with NPX. Each tool translates an MCP request into a corresponding Naver API request and returns the API response to the client.

Two credential pairs are supported:

  • NCP_APIGW_API_KEY_ID and NCP_APIGW_API_KEY for NAVER API HUB.
  • NAVER_CLIENT_ID and NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET for the legacy Naver Developers API.

Set one pair. If both pairs are present, the NAVER API HUB credentials take precedence. The two platforms use different endpoints, and legacy credentials cannot be used with NAVER API HUB.

Setup and configuration

Install the package through NPX and add it to the MCP client's server configuration. The documented package is @isnow890/naver-search-mcp, and the example configuration uses npx -y @isnow890/naver-search-mcp.

For new setups, the README directs users to NAVER API HUB because Naver has stopped accepting new Developers Center applications after July 31, 2026. Existing Developers Center credentials are documented as working until June 30, 2027. Configure the selected credential pair in the MCP server's environment section rather than placing keys in tool requests.

Tools and capabilities

The isnow890/naver-search-mcp MCP server provides these search tools:

  • search_webkr for Naver web documents
  • search_news for news
  • search_blog for blogs
  • search_cafearticle for cafe articles
  • search_image for images
  • search_kin for KnowledgeiN
  • search_encyc for encyclopedia content
  • search_local for local places

Its DataLab tools cover general search-term trends, shopping categories, shopping keywords, and breakdowns by device, gender, and age. The available operations include datalab_search, datalab_shopping_category, datalab_shopping_keywords, and the corresponding device, gender, and age analysis tools for categories and keywords.

Limitations and notes

The isnow890/naver-search-mcp MCP server does not currently expose the removed search_shop, search_book, or search_academic tools. The README attributes their removal to Naver's shutdown of those APIs on July 31, 2026, with no replacement listed.

The server requires a credential pair for local use, and API access remains subject to the selected Naver platform's availability and policies.
