Install

The sweep installs into a clean prefix, but this is the command a user would run:

npx @brave/brave-search-mcp-server

Needs credentials: BRAVE_API_KEY. The probe used placeholder values, so an amber needs credentials result below means the server asked for the real ones, not that it is broken. Maintainers: how to go green.
