🌟 Overview

Welcome to the official Bright Data Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling LLMs, agents and apps to access, discover and extract web data in real-time. This server allows MCP clients, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others, to seamlessly search the web, navigate websites, take action and retrieve data - without getting blocked - perfect for scraping tasks.

✨ Features

• Real-time Web Access: Access up-to-date information directly from the web
• Bypass Geo-restrictions: Access content regardless of location constraints
• Web Unlocker: Navigate websites with bot detection protection
• Browser Control: Optional remote browser automation capabilities
• Seamless Integration: Works with all MCP-compatible AI assistants

🚀 Quickstart with Claude Desktop

1. Install nodejs to get the npx command (node.js module runner). Installation instructions can be found on the node.js website

2. 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>"
      }
    }
  }
}

List of Available Tools

⚠️ 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

1. Make sure you have an account on brightdata.com (new users get free credit for testing, and pay as you go options are available)

2. Get your API key from the user settings page

3. (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

4. (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

5. (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)

🔌 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 to mcp_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 with BROWSER_ZONE in your configuration and specify your Browser API zone name if mcp_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"
