README

Bright Data MCP

Web search, page scraping, structured data extraction, and browser automation for AI agents and LLMs over the Model Context Protocol.

Works with AI agents, coding agents, chat assistants, and any MCP-compatible client.

Quick Start • Pricing • Use Cases • Tools • Agent Skills • Docs • Support

Free tier: 5,000 requests per month. No credit card required. Renews monthly.

Overview

The Bright Data MCP server gives AI agents real-time access to public web data. It exposes 69 tools covering:

Web search — Google, Bing, and Yandex results as structured data
Page scraping — any URL as Markdown or HTML, with bot detection, CAPTCHA solving, and proxy rotation handled automatically on every request
Structured data extraction — clean JSON from Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, Facebook, Crunchbase, Zillow, and other major platforms, without parsing HTML
Browser automation — navigate, click, type, screenshot, and read pages in a remote browser session
LLM response collection — send prompts to ChatGPT, Grok, and Perplexity and get their answers back as structured data
Package registry data — npm and PyPI package versions, READMEs, dependencies, and metadata

Every request is routed through Bright Data's unblocking infrastructure, so pages that block ordinary HTTP clients (bot detection, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, geo-restrictions) return normally. No proxy setup, no headless browser maintenance, no retry logic to write.

Two deployment options: a hosted remote server (one URL, no installation) or a local instance via npx @brightdata/mcp.

Quick Start

Hosted server — no installation. Add this URL to your MCP client:

https://mcp.brightdata.com/mcp?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE

Get your API token from your Bright Data account settings. New accounts get 5,000 free requests per month.

Optional URL parameters:

Parameter	Description	Example
`groups=<ids>`	Enable specific tool groups	`...&groups=social,ecommerce`
`tools=<names>`	Enable specific tools only	`...&tools=search_engine,scrape_as_markdown`
