Advanced Configuration

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Bright Data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@brightdata/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "API_TOKEN": "your-token-here",
        "PRO_MODE": "true",              // Enable all 60+ tools
        "RATE_LIMIT": "100/1h",          // Custom rate limiting
        "WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONE": "custom",   // Custom unlocker zone
        "BROWSER_ZONE": "custom_browser", // Custom browser zone
        "POLLING_TIMEOUT": "600"         // Polling timeout in seconds (default: 600)
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default	Example
`API_TOKEN`	Your Bright Data API token (required)	-	`your-token-here`
`PRO_MODE`	Enable all 60+ tools	`false`	`true`
`RATE_LIMIT`	Custom rate limiting	unlimited	`100/1h`, `50/30m`
`WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONE`	Custom Web Unlocker zone name	`mcp_unlocker`	`my_custom_zone`
`BROWSER_ZONE`	Custom Browser zone name	`mcp_browser`	`my_browser_zone`
`POLLING_TIMEOUT`	Timeout for web_data_* tools polling (seconds)	`600`	`300`, `1200`
`BASE_TIMEOUT`	Request timeout for base tools in seconds (search & scrape)	No limit	`60`, `120`
`BASE_MAX_RETRIES`	Max retries for base tools on transient errors (0-3)	`0`	`1`, `3`
`GROUPS`	Comma-separated tool group IDs	-	`ecommerce,browser`
`TOOLS`	Comma-separated individual tool names	-	`extract,scrape_as_html`

Notes:

POLLING_TIMEOUT controls how long web_data_* tools wait for results. Each second = 1 polling attempt.
Lower values (e.g., 300) will fail faster on slow data collections.
Higher values (e.g., 1200) allow more time for complex scraping tasks.
