## Introduction

### How to integrate Brightdata MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Brightdata account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can download all product listings from this ecommerce site, check crawl status for your recent job, perform Google SERP search for latest news, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Brightdata integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Brightdata to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Brightdata account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Brightdata to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

## What is the Brightdata MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Brightdata MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Brightdata account. It provides structured and secure access to Brightdata’s web data platform, so your agent can trigger site crawls, run SERP searches, filter and download datasets, and manage proxy endpoints on your behalf.
- Automated site crawling and extraction: Start large-scale crawl jobs across multiple web pages or entire domains, letting your agent collect structured data from the internet with just a prompt.
- Access to pre-made marketplace scrapers: Browse and select from Brightdata’s collection of pre-built scrapers for popular websites, making it easy to gather structured data without building your own scrapers from scratch.
- Filtered dataset generation and download: Apply custom filters to datasets, check crawl job status, and retrieve the exact data you need by downloading processed results once ready.
- Powerful SERP and web unlocker tools: Perform real-time SERP searches across various engines and leverage web unlocker zones to bypass anti-bot protections and scrape challenging websites.
- Proxy zone and location management: List available proxy zones, cities, and countries to configure how and where your data collection jobs run, optimizing for speed and success.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BRIGHTDATA_CRAWL_API` | Trigger Site Crawl | Tool to trigger an asynchronous site crawl job to extract content across multiple pages or entire domains. Returns a snapshot_id required by BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_STATUS (poll until complete) and BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_RESULTS (call only after completion; querying early yields empty or partial data). Use when you need to start a crawl for a given dataset and list of URLs. Large crawls can produce very large payloads — fetch results incrementally. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_DATASET_LIST` | Browse Available Scrapers | Tool to list all available pre-made scrapers (datasets) from Bright Data's marketplace. Use when you need to browse available data sources for structured scraping. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_FILTER_DATASET` | Filter Dataset | Tool to apply custom filter criteria to a marketplace dataset (BETA). Use after selecting a dataset to generate a filtered snapshot. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_GET_LIST_OF_AVAILABLE_CITIES` | Get Available Cities | Tool to get available static network cities for a given country. Use when you need to configure static proxy endpoints after selecting a country. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_GET_LIST_OF_AVAILABLE_COUNTRIES` | Get Available Countries | Tool to list available countries and their ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. Use when you need to configure zones with valid country codes before provisioning proxies. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_RESULTS` | Download Scraped Data | Tool to retrieve the scraped data from a completed crawl job by snapshot ID. Only call after confirming the job is complete via BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_STATUS — querying before completion yields empty or partial data. Use after triggering a crawl or filtering a dataset to download the collected data. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_GET_SNAPSHOT_STATUS` | Check Crawl Status | Tool to check the processing status of a crawl job using snapshot ID. Call before attempting to download results to ensure data collection is complete. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_LIST_WEB_UNLOCKER_ZONES` | List Unlocker Zones | Tool to list your configured Web Unlocker zones and proxy endpoints. Use to view available zones for web scraping and bot protection bypass. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_SERP_SEARCH` | SERP Search | Tool to perform SERP (Search Engine Results Page) searches across different search engines using Bright Data's SERP Scrape API. Use when you need to retrieve search results, trending topics, or competitive analysis data. This action submits an asynchronous request and returns a response ID for tracking. |
| `BRIGHTDATA_WEB_UNLOCKER` | Web Unlocker | Tool to bypass bot detection, captcha, and other anti-scraping measures to extract content from websites. Use when you need to scrape websites that block automated access or require JavaScript rendering. Some responses may still contain CAPTCHA challenge pages or incomplete HTML; inspect the response before retrying, and avoid aggressive retry loops. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Brightdata MCP server?

A standalone Brightdata MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Brightdata tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Brightdata and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Brightdata data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Brightdata data and credentials are handled to that standard.
