Brave Search MCP v2
Brave Search MCP v2 returns web results, images, videos, and AI summaries — untrusted content ingestion into agent context with broader result types than v1.
N/A
Could not evaluate
Could not establish a plain stdio MCP session for target `brave-search-mcp-server-v2`.
Command: npx -y @brave/brave-search-mcp-server
Diagnosis: The process exited or detached before MCP initialization completed.
Raw error: MCP error -32000: Connection closed
Likely causes:
- The package may expect extra startup arguments or environment variables.
- The package may not behave like a plain local-process stdio target under this invocation.
- The server may be crashing immediately and only leaving clues on stderr.
Next steps:
- Run the command manually and look for usage output, auth prompts, or crash text.
- Check whether the package expects a different transport or an app-oriented startup flow.
- Use the recent stderr lines below before assuming this is a harness bug.
Recent stderr:
- Error: --brave-api-key is required. You can get one at https://brave.com/search/api/.
- Invalid configuration
