Search returns no results or connection errors
The server connects to Bilibili's public API endpoints. If you are outside mainland China, some endpoints may be geo-restricted. Try using a VPN or proxy located in China, or check if the Bilibili API is temporarily unavailable.
npx command fails with 'package not found'
Ensure you are using the correct package name 'bilibili-mcp-js'. Run 'npm view bilibili-mcp-js' to verify the package is available on npm. If you have a stale npx cache, clear it with 'npx clear-npx-cache'.
Video details not found when searching by BV or AV ID
Make sure you are using the correct ID format. BV IDs start with 'BV' followed by alphanumeric characters (e.g., BV1xx411c7mD). AV IDs are numeric. Removed or region-locked videos will return empty results regardless of the ID.
