OpenAIWebSearch MCP fails all the time. Queries that require current data just spin. Makes me hesitant to try other MCP’s. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, when I try to fall back to Google Search, I get terrible results. Hard to offer anything to a client that doesn’t have reliable access to the internet.
Is there a way to ensure reliable web search capability?
Hi @joepa00, thanks for flagging this. I just tried and it worked for me. Could you share 2- 3 sample queries and the exact prompts you used to trigger Google Search?
Please email us from your registered email ID at info@pickaxeproject.com with your Studio link, Pickaxe name, those sample queries, and any timestamps or screenshots. We’ll investigate right away.

This is a Pickaxe I’ve switched ot MCP search: https://studio.pickaxe.co/STUDIO8K4JTPK22DKV1GG/O54Y2SENK3
Is supposed to search auto news and report back what is happening today. It worked for you because I changed everything over to Google Search, but I’d much prefer the OpenAI MCP. But this is what happens every time. It spins, then returns, “network error”.
