The Bright Data MCP server gives AI agents and assistants real-time access to public web data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Connect it to Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible client, and your agent can search, scrape and read live web pages without you building or maintaining data pipelines. The MCP server runs on the Web Unlocker API, so every request handles proxy rotation, anti-bot challenges and CAPTCHA solving automatically. Every new account includes 5,000 free requests per month. You can run the server two ways: a fully managed remote server, or a self-hosted local instance.

Choose your MCP server

Remote (hosted) MCP

Launch a fully managed MCP server in the cloud, no setup required.

Local (self-hosted) MCP

Set up your own MCP server instance on-premise or in your private cloud.
Optimize your token usage: Select only the tools you need using tool groups (e.g., groups=ecommerce,social) or individual tools (e.g., tools=web_data_amazon_product). This reduces context size and maximizes your usage.

The MCP free tier is the same account-level free tier of 5,000 credits per month, drawn from a single shared pool, because the MCP server runs on the Web Unlocker API. For team accounts, that free tier is shared across all users within the account. If you require additional credits, please contact your account manager.
