Show HN: Web MCP Free Tier – Web Access for Agents Without Getting Blocked

11 points

9 months ago

I’m the developer behind the Web MCP at Bright Data. We just launched a free tier so any AI Engineer/ Vibe coder can give their LLM real web access — 5,000 requests/month at no cost.

Unlike most MCP servers that wrap a single SaaS API (e.g. Gmail, GitHub), the Web MCP wraps the entire internet. It handles JS-heavy sites, auto-solves CAPTCHAs, and returns clean Markdown your model can use.

Free tier includes:

search_engine → search results from Google/Bing/Yandex

scrape_as_markdown → fetch any URL as clean, LLM-friendly Markdown (with CAPTCHA handling)

Quick start: https://docs.brightdata.com/mcp-server/quickstart/remote

I also wrote a blog post with the full background, challenges, and architecture:

Would love feedback - what would you want to use live web access for in your agents?
