Short answer

How can my AI manage my Bright Data proxies?

Your agent uses this MCP to pull specific zone configurations and authentication credentials. This lets you feed live proxy data directly into your external automation scripts without manual copying. You'll get a clear view of your setup and the exact keys needed for your code.

Where every outcome lands.

Proxy management outcomes

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the automation logic.

DATA

Live zone lists

The agent scans your account to find every active proxy zone. You get a clean list of what's currently running.

AUTH

Credential retrieval

Your agent grabs the specific passwords required for each zone. This keeps your automation scripts updated with valid credentials.

CONFIG

Detailed zone info

Get the specific settings for any individual zone. The agent pulls the exact parameters you need for your requests.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI cannot change your Bright Data settings or create new zones. You still handle the actual configuration changes in the Bright Data dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Bright Data account.

  1. Inventory zones

    The agent looks through your entire Bright Data account to see what proxy setups you have available.

    get_all_zones

  2. Inspect specific zones

    Once you identify a target, the agent pulls the granular configuration details for that specific zone.

    get_zone_info

  3. Fetch credentials

    The agent retrieves the necessary passwords for the selected zones to enable authentication in your scripts.

    get_zone_passwords

  4. Prepare automation

    The agent organizes the retrieved zone data and passwords into a format you can use in your external tools.
