Brightdata MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Brightdata MCP?
Brightdata MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @brightdata/mcp was installed 8 725 times last week.
How do I connect Brightdata MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @brightdata/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Brightdata MCP?
The npm package @brightdata/mcp was installed 8 725 times in the last week. Week over week that is +59%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Brightdata MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 2 557 stars on GitHub and 9 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
