- Browser Control: Optional remote browser automation capabilities
- Seamless Integration: Works with all MCP-compatible AI assistants
🚀 Quickstart with Claude Desktop
-
Install
nodejs
to get thenpx
command (node.js module runner). Installation instructions can be found on the node.js website -
Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json to include the following:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Bright Data": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@brightdata/mcp"],
"env": {
"API_TOKEN": "<insert-your-api-token-here>",
"WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONE": "<optional if you want to override the default mcp_unlocker zone name>",
"BROWSER_ZONE": "<optional browser zone name, defaults to mcp_browser>"
"RATE_LIMIT": "<optional rate limit format: limit/time+unit, e.g., 100/1h, 50/30m, 10/5s>"
}
}
}

⚠️ Security Best Practices
Important: Always treat scraped web content as untrusted data. Never use raw scraped content directly in LLM prompts to avoid potential prompt injection risks. Instead:
- Filter and validate all web data before processing
- Use structured data extraction rather than raw text (web_data tools)
🔧 Account Setup
-
Make sure you have an account on brightdata.com (new users get free credit for testing, and pay as you go options are available)
-
Get your API key from the user settings page
-
(Optional) Create a custom Web Unlocker zone
- By default, we create a Web Unlocker zone automatically using your API token
- For more control, you can create your own Web Unlocker zone in your control panel and specify it with the
WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONE
environment variable
-
(Optional) To enable browser control tools:
- By default, the MCP tries to fetch credentials of
mcp_browser
zone. - If you don't have an
mcp_browser
zone, you can :- Create a Browser API zone in your control panel or use an existing one and specify its name using the
BROWSER_ZONE
environment variable
- Create a Browser API zone in your control panel or use an existing one and specify its name using the
- By default, the MCP tries to fetch credentials of
-
(Optional) Configure rate limiting:
- Set the
RATE_LIMIT
environment variable to control API usage - Format:
limit/time+unit
(e.g.,100/1h
for 100 calls per hour) - Supported time units: seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h)
- Examples:
RATE_LIMIT=100/1h
,RATE_LIMIT=50/30m
,RATE_LIMIT=10/5s
- Rate limiting is session-based (resets when server restarts)
- Set the
🔌 Other MCP Clients
To use this MCP server with other agent types, you should adapt the following to your specific software:
- The full command to run the MCP server is
npx @brightdata/mcp
- The environment variable
API_TOKEN=<your-token>
must exist when running the server - (Optional) Set
BROWSER_ZONE=<zone-name>
to specify a custom Browser API zone name (defaults tomcp_browser
)
🔄 Breaking Changes
Browser Authentication Update
BREAKING CHANGE: The BROWSER_AUTH
environment variable has been replaced with BROWSER_ZONE
.
- Before: Users needed to provide
BROWSER_AUTH="user:pass"
from the Browser API zone - Now: Users only need to specify the browser zone name with
BROWSER_ZONE="zone_name"
- Default: If not specified, the system uses
mcp_browser
zone automatically - Migration: Replace
BROWSER_AUTH
withBROWSER_ZONE
in your configuration and specify your Browser API zone name ifmcp_browser
doesn't exists

💡 Usage Examples
Some example queries that this MCP server will be able to help with:
- "Google some movies that are releasing soon in [your area]"
- "What's Tesla's current market cap?"
- "What's the Wikipedia article of the day?"
- "What's the 7-day weather forecast in [your location]?"
- "Of the 3 highest paid tech CEOs, how long have their careers been?"
⚠️ Troubleshooting
Timeouts when using certain tools
Some tools can involve reading web data, and the amount of time needed to load the page can vary by quite a lot in extreme circumstances.
To ensure that your agent will be able to consume the data, set a high enough timeout in your agent settings.
A value of 180s
should be enough for 99% of requests, but some sites load slower than others, so tune this to your needs.
spawn npx ENOENT
This error occurs when your system cannot find the npx
command. To fix it:
Finding npm/Node Path
macOS:
which node
Shows path like /usr/local/bin/node
Windows:
where node
Shows path like C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
Update your MCP configuration:
Replace the npx
command with the full path to Node, for example, on mac, it will look as follows:
"command": "/usr/local/bin/node"
