Bright Data MCP

Bright Data's official server for search and scraping at scale. It routes requests through Bright Data's proxy network and unblocking infrastructure to get past CAPTCHAs and bot protection, and includes structured extractors for popular sites. It is available hosted with a token in the URL or locally via npx. A free tier includes 5,000 requests a month.
