We couldn’t automatically confirm this listing starts correctly

We ran the install command below but it didn't respond within our test window — this can mean a slow first-time install rather than a real problem.

npx -y mcp-remote https://api.gamebrain.co/v1/mcp?api-key=YOUR_KEY

No response to initialize.

This is an experimental automated check and can have false negatives — missing environment variables, a slow cold install, etc. It doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong. Last checked 4d ago.
