Web MCP Free Tier – Web Access for Agents Without Getting Blocked

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:…

In plain words

Web MCP Free Tier is a tool that gives AI agents and LLM applications real internet access through a free tier offering 5,000 requests monthly. It enables web scraping and search across the entire internet, not just individual APIs, handling JavaScript-heavy sites and automatically solving CAPTCHAs before returning clean Markdown output that language models can process. The service is designed for AI engineers and developers building agents that need to access live web data.

  • Hyperbrowser MCP Server – Connect AI agents to the web through browsers2025 · github.com · ▲63

    Hi HN! Excited to share our MCP Server at Hyperbrowser - something we’ve been working on for a few days. We think it’s a pretty neat way to connect LLMs and IDEs like Cursor / Windsurf to the internet. Our MCP server exposes seven tools for data collection and browsing: 1. `scrape_webpage` - Extract formatted (markdown, screenshot etc) content from any webpage 2. `crawl_webpages` - Navigate through multiple linked pages and extract LLM-friendly formatted content 3. `extract_structured_data` - Convert messy HTML into structured JSON 4. `search_with_bing` - Query the web and get results…

    Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

  • MCP3602025 · mcp360.ai · ▲61

    Hey HN Community, I built MCP360 after spending weeks integrating APIs for an AI agent project. Each tool needed its own setup, auth, billing, and maintenance. When any APIs changed, my integrations broke. I got tired of it. MCP360 is a single gateway giving AI agents access to 100+ tools through one config block. Search engines, web scraping, SEO, e-commerce data, maps, domain tools, and more. Real example: Instead of managing Google Search, web scraping, SERP tracking, and keyword research as 4 separate subscriptions (4 bills, 4 auth systems, 4 points of failure), you connect once. Works…

  • Web SpeedMay 2026 · getwebspeed.io · ▲118

    Hey everyone, I've been working on a tool called Web Speed. It takes web pages full of HTML and parses them into an easily readable sitemap for an AI agent. By ensuring the AI doesn't have to analyze the full HTML from the page or screenshots of the page, it makes the agent a lot cheaper and faster. It's MCP-native, so any AI that supports MCP can run it and take control of your browser for you. There are both “normal” and post-auth versions live on GitHub. What I think is the coolest thing about the project is the global cache of sitemaps. When a user visits a site, it takes the sitemap and…

    Open-Source MCP Server for Context and AI Tools2025 · ▲43

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…
