Overview

This plugin brings Bright Data's powerful web infrastructure directly into Claude Code, enabling AI agents to:

• Scrape any webpage as clean markdown — bypassing bot detection, CAPTCHAs, and JavaScript rendering
• Search Google with structured JSON results — titles, links, and descriptions ready for processing
• Extract structured data with thousands of pre-built scrapers — Amazon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more
• Orchestrate 30+ MCP tools — search, scrape, extract structured data from 1,200+ pre-built scrapers, and automate browsers via Bright Data's MCP server
• Use the Bright Data CLI — scrape, search, extract data, manage zones, and check budget directly from the terminal with brightdata / bdata
• Run competitive intelligence — real-time competitor analysis, pricing monitoring, review mining, hiring signal analysis, and market landscape mapping using live web data
• Write correct Bright Data code — built-in best practices for Web Unlocker, SERP API, Web Scraper API, and Browser API
• Route requests through proxies — generate working code for Datacenter, ISP, Residential, and Mobile proxy networks, with the right network, IP pool type, targeting, and SSL setup
• Build with the Python SDK — comprehensive guide for the brightdata-sdk package with patterns for async/sync clients, platform scrapers, SERP, datasets, and more
• Build with the JavaScript/TypeScript SDK — comprehensive guide for the @brightdata/sdk package (bdclient) with patterns for web unlocker, platform scrapers, SERP, discover, datasets, browser automation, and Scraper Studio
• Run the Discover API — intent-ranked, AI-relevance-scored semantic web search with parsed page content, across REST/CLI/SDK (the foundation for research and RAG)
• Produce live research briefs — decompose a question into multi-angle Discover queries, dedup and rank by relevance, and synthesize a cited report from live web data
• Build RAG / search-engine pipelines — use Discover as the retrieval layer for an LLM, via live web-grounded retrieval or vector-store ingestion
