I am getting a creak that sounds like it is coming from the front calipers. Is there anything that requires lubricant or grease?

How have you narrowed it down to calipers?

The answer to the question is: yes.

because when I put the brakes on, there is a brief creak. It’s not the pads. It’s defiantly related to the brakes somewhere.

point me in the right direction

When you apply the brakes, weight transfers to the front. Possibly springs, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings.

Do you hear this after it rains and you haven't driven it in awhile?
If so that could be just surface rust on the rotors.
Did you look to see the pads are OK ?
Does the car pull to one side or the other when it happens ?
When did this noise start ?

Are the pads thin, could be the alarm clips , those little spring clip things that squeal and alarm you to inspect your brakes.

Everything that moves can be lubed. From your further explanation I am thinking more suspension than brakes. My auto correct doesn't do it.

You can lube the metal tabs on either end of the brake pads , I have seen the SS pad retainers rub the rotors and cause noises.
I have also seen the brake caliper brackets installed on the wrong sides, they are left only, right only specific , it causes the pads to wear unevenly.
