Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

brightdata-guide scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 343 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bright Data — MCP & CLI Usage Guide

Adapted from Bright Data's official MCP and CLI skills (MIT). Security-patched and made agent-agnostic by Dante Labs: removed instructions that autonomously edit host settings files, removed shell-piped installers (curl-to-bash) and global npm -g installs (the CLI is installed once by the operator out of band, or run via pinned npx), and generalized agent/tool naming so it works for any agent.

Runtime tool names — this guide uses generic tool names. Map to your runtime: terminal -> Bash (Claude) / execute_command (Codex); delegate_task -> the parent's subagent/Task tool. The Bright Data MCP tool names (search_engine, scrape_as_markdown, web_data_*, scraping_browser_*) are identical across Claude and Codex.

Two ways to reach Bright Data — pick by what's in your tool registry

Both paths hit the same Bright Data platform and the same 5,000 free requests/month. Same data, different door.

  • MCP tools present (search_engine, scrape_as_markdown, web_data_* …): call them directly. Follow the MCP sections below.
  • MCP tools absent — the common case is being a delegate_task subagent: a subagent inherits the parent's terminal and skills but NOT its MCP toolsets, so search_engine etc. will not be in your registry. In that case use the Bright Data CLI from the terminal (bdata / brightdata). Jump to "Bright Data CLI (terminal)" and references/cli-commands.md.

How to tell which you have: look at your available tools. If you see search_engine/scrape_as_markdown, use MCP. If you only see terminal (no Bright Data tools), use the CLI via terminal. Do not fall back to the agent's built-in web search.

Preflight — four gates, in order, before the first Bright Data call

Bright Data is a primary search and fetch path, not a garnish, so an unconfigured setup must stop and surface the setup step instead of quietly falling back to the agent's built-in web search. Gate 1 is a fork, not a hurdle: when the MCP tools ARE present you are already done — call them (Part A) and skip gates 2-4 entirely, since those check only the CLI path. Gates 2-4 run only when gate 1 finds no MCP tools (the delegate_task subagent case), and there you run them in order and stop at the first that fails. An MCP-only session with no CLI installed is fully configured — it must never be stopped at gate 2.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

brightdata-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository YoungjaeDev/my-claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 168 tokens to every session and 5,358 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
