MCP Server Pricing

Bright Data MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a server that enables LLMs, AI agents, and applications to access, discover, and extract web data in real-time. It allows MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf to search the web, navigate websites, take actions, and retrieve data without getting blocked, making it perfect for web scraping tasks.

*For our new MCP users, we are offering a FREE tier

The MCP server provides advanced capabilities, including:

• Bypassing geo-restrictions to access content regardless of location
• Navigating websites with bot detection protection using unlocker technology
• Structured data extraction from platforms like Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, and many other data feeds
• Remote browser automation for complex web interactions

No, we will create those for you :) All you need is NodeJS and your BrightData API key. If you want to change your zone name to something specific, you always can do it.

Yes! Bright Data provides a free tier of 5K requests/month to new MCP users.

Currently, the MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration does not support direct country targeting via a dedicated country parameter in the MCP configuration itself. However, you can control the country selection by specifying a custom zone in your MCP setup, and then configure that zone in your Bright Data Control Panel to target the country you want. Here's how you can achieve country targeting with MCP:

1. Create a Zone for the Desired Country:

• In your Bright Data Control Panel, create a new zone (e.g., Residential, Mobile, or Browser API) and set the geolocation targeting to your desired country in the zone's configuration.

1. Specify the Zone in Your MCP Configuration:

• In your MCP client configuration, use the environment variable for the relevant zone:
  • For web scraping: WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONE
  • For browser automation: BROWSER_ZONE
• Example (for a custom browser zone):

    {

      "mcpServers": {

        "Bright Data": {

          "command": "npx",

          "args": ["@brightdata/mcp"],

          "env": {

            "API_TOKEN": "<your_api_key>",

            "BROWSER_ZONE": "<your_zone_name>"

          }

        }

      }

    }

• Make sure <your_zone_name> is the zone you configured for the specific country.

1. Requests through MCP will now use the country targeting set in your zone.

For more details, see the [MCP Server documentation](https://docs.brightdata.com/mcp-server/overview) and [Browser API location targeting](https://docs.brightdata.com/scraping-automation/scraping-browser/features/proxy-location).

The MCP free tier allows you to connect your AI agent via MCP (Model Context Protocol) to Bright Data services for Free. You get up to 5,000 requests per month for scrape search results and unlock any public webpage at no cost. This is ideal for testing, development, or light usage. The free tier gives you access to both static and dynamic web content, including features like web unlocking, browser automation, and structured data extraction.
