Basic Information
This repository provides the official Bright Data Web MCP server, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that gives LLMs and AI agents real-time, resilient access to the public web. It is designed to let agent frameworks, IDE connectors and hosted assistants search, navigate, extract and interact with websites while reducing blocking, bypassing geo restrictions and handling bot-detection defenses. The project offers both a hosted MCP endpoint and instructions for self-hosting via the npm package, with configuration via environment variables such as API_TOKEN, PRO_MODE and RATE_LIMIT. The README documents integration examples for Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients, available tools and operational guidance including account setup, zone configuration for web unlocker and browser APIs, and troubleshooting tips. The server ships with a free usage tier and an optional Pro mode that exposes additional browser automation and structured data extraction capabilities.
