Best for
  • AI agents that need live public web data
  • Research and analytics workflows requiring scraping or structured data
  • Coding agents that need current npm or PyPI package information
  • Users requiring browser automation through Pro mode
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Private, unauthorized, or internal data access
  • Users unwilling to provide a Bright Data API key
  • Offline environments or local setups without Node.js/npx
  • Workflows that cannot accommodate usage-based Pro or web-data costs
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • A Bright Data API_TOKEN is required
  • The server needs access to Bright Data services and the public web
  • WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONE and BROWSER_ZONE may be configured optionally
  • PRO_MODE, GROUPS, TOOLS, timeout, and retry settings may be configured optionally
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • Requests consume account credits; base tools are charged per request and web_data_* tools per returned record
  • The free tier provides 5,000 credits per month and unused credits do not roll over
  • PRO_MODE incurs additional usage-based charges
  • API_TOKEN is a secret credential and should not be exposed in logs or shared configuration
  • Live web content, availability, and scraping results may depend on target sites and network conditions
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
