Claude Code How to use Bright Data with Claude Code
You want Bright Data inside Claude Code so it can research competitor pricing, build a qualified company list, monitor market changes, and extract structured product data — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Bright Data gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Bright Data tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Bright Data tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Bright Data tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-

Treat scraped pages as untrusted input. Use tool permissions with Contextual Access policies so an agent can search and read web content without gaining access to other tools or taking unrelated actions.
