How to Set Up and Use Naver Search
The Naver Search MCP server exposes Naver's full suite of search and analytics APIs to AI assistants, covering web documents, news, blogs, cafe articles, books, images, shopping, knowledge (KnowledgeiN), academic papers, local places, and encyclopedia entries. Beyond standard search, it also provides DataLab analytics for Korean search trends, shopping category trends, device-based and demographic shopping patterns, and keyword trend analysis. It is the primary tool for AI workflows that need to research Korean-language content or analyze consumer trends on South Korea's dominant search platform.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later and npm 8 or later
- A Naver Developers account at developers.naver.com
- A registered Naver application with the Search and DataLab APIs enabled — you will need the Client ID and Client Secret
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Register a Naver application
Log in to developers.naver.com, create a new application, and enable the Search API and DataLab API. Note your Client ID and Client Secret from the application settings.
Add the server to your MCP client config
The server runs via npx so no separate installation is needed. Add it directly to your claude_desktop_config.json with your Naver credentials as environment variables.
Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen MCP client to pick up the new server configuration. The server will be downloaded and started automatically on first use.
Verify connectivity
Ask your AI assistant to run a simple Naver blog search to confirm the server is connected and your API credentials are working.

API returns 401 Unauthorized
Double-check that NAVER_CLIENT_ID and NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET are set correctly in the MCP config env block. Also confirm the Search API (or DataLab API) is enabled for your application in the Naver Developer Console — each API must be individually activated.
DataLab tools return errors but search tools work
The DataLab API requires a separate activation from the Search API in the Naver Developer Console. Go to your application settings, find the DataLab API, and enable it explicitly.
npx hangs or fails to download the package
Make sure Node.js 18+ is installed and your network can reach the npm registry. You can pre-install the package with 'npm install -g @isnow890/naver-search-mcp' and update the config to use the globally installed binary instead.
