The Lens

Bright Data's MCP server gives your AI assistant access to their web scraping infrastructure: structured data extraction, SERP results, and page rendering through residential proxies. Your assistant asks for data, Bright Data handles the anti-bot circumvention.

Official, maintained by Bright Data. Setup requires an API key and credits on your Bright Data account. The MCP itself is free, but every request burns credits. Pricing is usage-based and adds up fast on high-volume scraping.

Install this if you already pay for Bright Data and want AI-driven scraping. Do not install it to "try web scraping" because the credit costs will surprise you. The catch: this is a gateway to a paid API. The MCP is free, the data is not.
