Web Unlocking & SERP — Use the send_request tool 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 with get_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.

FAQ

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
