Summary
Korean search and market trends in one place, mid-migration.

The value is breadth over Naver's own properties — blog reviews, KnowledgeiN answers and cafe discussions carry Korean perspectives you will not find on a global search engine, and the DataLab tools turn that into trend data by device, gender and age. Before you build on it, read the API-migration note: get HUB keys now rather than Developers Center ones, since the legacy path closes to new applicants in mid-2026 and stops working entirely in 2027.

What it is

A server over Naver's Search and DataLab APIs: 18 tools covering Korean-language search across Naver's properties plus keyword-trend and shopping-insight analytics.

What you get
  • Search across Naver's surfaces: search_webkr for Korean web documents, search_news for major-outlet articles, search_blog for personal reviews and experiences, search_image, search_kin for KnowledgeiN Q&A, search_encyc for the encyclopedia, search_local for businesses and places, and search_cafearticle for community discussions
  • datalab_search analyzes search-keyword trends over time — popularity changes, seasonal patterns, and multiple keywords compared side by side
  • Shopping-insight analytics broken down every way: datalab_shopping_category over time, and by device (PC vs Mobile), gender and age group
  • Keyword-level shopping trends within a category — datalab_shopping_keywords to compare terms, and the same by device, gender and age
  • find_category is the required first step for the shopping tools: search Korean terms with fuzzy matching to get the category code the datalab_shopping_ tools need
Requirements

A Naver credential pair, on either platform: the NAVER API HUB pair (NCP_APIGW_API_KEY_ID and NCP_APIGW_API_KEY) or the legacy Developers Center pair (NAVER_CLIENT_ID and NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET). Node, run as npx @isnow890/naver-search-mcp. Note Naver is migrating these APIs: the Developers Center stops taking new key applications on 2026-07-31 and existing keys stop working on 2027-06-30, so a first-time setup should get keys from NAVER API HUB. This version supports both platforms from the same install. A no-key trial is available through Kakao PlayMCP.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — npx -y @isnow890/naver-search-mcp, then supply credentials
