MCP Server Modes

Bright Data’s MCP server offers two modes to suit different needs:
  • Rapid (Free) - Quickly scrape search results and unlock any public webpage as clean Markdown.
  • Pro - Access advanced scraping, structured data from top platforms (Amazon, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, etc.), and full browser automation. Built for dynamic and large-scale use cases.
Rapid (Free) mode is enabled by default and is recommended for everyday browsing and data needs.
