Remote endpoints: streamable-http: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/brave-search/mcp
Security Report
This is a well-structured MCP server for Brave Search with proper authentication via API key and appropriate input validation. The code is clean and handles errors gracefully. One minor concern: the API key is passed as a URL parameter (_apiKey) which could be logged in HTTP access logs or browser history, though this is mitigated by the server's documented expectation that users register their own API credentials or use the Pipeworx gateway.
