About brightdata/brightdata-mcp

The Web MCP by Bright Data is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents real-time access to the live web without getting blocked. It provides an all-in-one solution for public web access, including real-time web search, scraping, bypassing anti-bot measures and geographic restrictions, and returning clean structured data. The server works with any MCP-compatible LLM (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama) and includes specialized tool groups: a Code tool group for instant npm and PyPI package metadata, and a GEO AI Brand Visibility tool group that queries leading LLMs (ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity) for AI-generated insights about brands. It offers a generous free tier of 5,000 credits per month with no credit card required, making it ideal for prototyping and everyday AI workflows.
