Overview
Bright Data Web MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to the live public web with built-in unblocking to avoid CAPTCHAs and rate limits. It provides tools for real-time web search, page fetching and scraping (including via Bright Data’s web unlocker), and optional browser automation for navigating and interacting with dynamic sites. It supports a free “Rapid” tier (limited toolset and monthly request allowance) and paid usage-based modes that unlock additional tool groups such as browser control and broader web data tooling. It can be used via Bright Data’s hosted MCP endpoint or run locally via an npm package.
