Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Bright Data MCP Server?
Connect your Bright Data account to any AI agent to automate complex web data extraction, bypass sophisticated anti-bot systems, and manage your proxy infrastructure through natural language.
What you can do
- Web Unlocking & SERP — Use the
send_requesttool to bypass anti-bot protections or extract structured data from search engines using Web Unlocker or SERP API zones. - Dataset Orchestration — Trigger large-scale data collections with
trigger_dataset, monitor progress withget_dataset_progress, and download snapshots once ready. - Browser Management — List and monitor active Scraping Browser sessions to debug or track automated browser workflows.
- Infrastructure Control — Retrieve all configured zones, check account status, and fetch proxy credentials (passwords) for specific zones securely.
- Marketplace Discovery — Browse available datasets in the Bright Data marketplace to find pre-collected data for your industry.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Bright Data API Key
- Start scraping and managing proxies from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI now acts as a data engineer, capable of retrieving real-time web information even from the most protected sources.
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Analysts — Automate the collection of training data or market intelligence without manual script execution.
- Developers — Debug scraping browser sessions and manage proxy zones directly from the code editor.
- Market Researchers — Extract structured SERP data to track rankings and competitor movements via simple conversation.

Frequently asked questions
How do I bypass anti-bot systems on a specific website?
Use the send_request tool and specify a zone configured with Web Unlocker. Provide the target URL, and Bright Data will handle the rotation and headers to return the content.
Can I check if my data collection is finished?
Yes. Use the get_dataset_progress tool with your Snapshot ID. It will return the current percentage and status of the extraction process.
How do I get the proxy credentials for my scraper?
You can use the get_zone_passwords tool by providing the zone name. This will retrieve the necessary passwords for proxy authentication.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
