The official Bright Data CLI (npm package @brightdata/cli) providing terminal access to Bright Data's web scraping, search, and structured data extraction APIs. It supports CAPTCHA/anti-bot bypassing scrapes, search engine queries, AI-powered scraper creation and self-healing, browser automation, and MCP server integration for coding agents.
Use cases
- scrape a webpage from the terminal bypassing captchas
- run google searches and get structured json results
- extract product data from amazon or linkedin
- create a web scraper from a natural language description
- add a web scraping mcp server to claude code or cursor
- automate a real browser for scraping
- check proxy zone usage and account budget
When to choose
- you already use or want Bright Data's scraping infrastructure
- you need anti-bot and CAPTCHA bypass from the command line
- you want to give AI coding agents web access via MCP
- you need structured data from 40+ supported platforms
When to avoid
- you need a fully free self-hosted scraper with no paid service dependency
- you want a GUI or programmatic SDK rather than a CLI
- you only need simple scraping of sites without anti-bot protections
