Information

If you want to install the MCP via npm, do NOT use @mseep/server-naver-search (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mseep/server-naver-search). That package is a copy of my work and was published without my permission. The npx version of that package is also broken and will not work properly. Please use this official package instead.
