HasData Bing MCP server

Bing MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: com.hasdata/bing -->

A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client one read-only Bing tool. Run a Bing search from a chosen country, market, language and device, and get the organic results, the ad block and the Copilot answer as structured JSON, with no Azure subscription and nothing to host.

It reads the Bing results page a signed-out visitor sees.

1,000 free credits every month, no card required, which is 100 Bing calls at the 10-credit rate.

What you need

An MCP client and a HasData API key from the dashboard, free to create with no card, and the free tier covers about 100 calls a month at the 10-credit rate. This is a remote server, so the simplest path is a URL and an x-api-key header, with no container to run. A client that only speaks stdio reaches it through a thin launcher, published as @hasdata/bing-mcp on npm and hasdata-bing-mcp on PyPI, shown below.

Quick start

The server URL is the same for every client. We run it hands-on in Claude Code and Claude Desktop. The other blocks follow each client's own documented format for a remote server.

Clients with OAuth support can add the same URL as a connector and sign in without putting a key in a config file.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http bing "https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=bing" \
  --header "x-api-key: HASDATA_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop

Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, then paste https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=bing and sign in.

For the config-file route, Claude Desktop loads only local (stdio) servers, so it reaches a remote server through a stdio launcher. The @hasdata/bing-mcp package is that launcher, and it reads the key from the environment. Add this to claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@hasdata/bing-mcp"],
      "env": { "HASDATA_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

For Python instead of Node, swap the launcher for the PyPI package, which uvx runs without a manual install:
