The Bright Data MCP Server gives Caylex AI agents seamless, unblockable access to real-time web data from across the public internet, including search engines, e-commerce platforms, social media networks, and dynamically rendered pages protected by bot detection or CAPTCHAs. Powered by Bright Data’s proxy and unlocking infrastructure, it enables agents to scrape pages as Markdown or HTML, run structured data extractions, conduct batch scraping jobs, and interact with top platforms such as Amazon, LinkedIn, X, and Instagram. The server operates in two modes: Rapid (Free), which covers search and general webpage scraping, and Pro, which unlocks advanced scraping, structured platform data feeds, and full browser automation for large-scale or dynamic use cases. Tool groups — including E-commerce, Social Media, Browser Automation, Business Intelligence, Finance, Research, App Stores, Travel, and Advanced Scraping — let agents load only the tools relevant to a given workflow, reducing token consumption. Caylex users can configure which modes and tool groups are active directly via query parameters on the server URL when adding it to their project.
Prerequisites:
  • A Bright Data account is required; a free tier is available with 5,000 requests/month.
  • Pro mode features (structured platform data, browser automation) require a paid Bright Data plan and must be enabled via the pro=1 query parameter.
  • Team account users should be aware that free-tier credits are shared across the entire account; additional credits require contacting a Bright Data account manager.
Important API details:
  • The free tier includes 5,000 requests per month; for team accounts, this quota is shared across all users in the account.
  • Batch tools (search_engine_batch, scrape_batch) support up to 10 URLs or queries per request, enabling parallel processing.
  • Selecting specific tool groups (e.g., groups=ecommerce,social) or individual tools reduces context/token size and is strongly recommended to maximize usage efficiency.
  • Pro mode must be explicitly enabled via the pro=1 query parameter; without it, only Rapid (Free) tools are available.
