HasData Bing — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
A hosted MCP server lets an agent query Bing and receive organic listings, ads, and Copilot output as JSON. Useful for location- and device-specific search checks.
claude mcp add bing -e HASDATA_API_KEY=<HASDATA_API_KEY> -- npx -y @hasdata/bing-mcpWhat HasData Bing does
HasData Bing exposes one read-only search tool through a hosted MCP endpoint. It returns structured JSON for Bing’s organic listings and can include the ad section and Copilot response shown with the page. Requests can carry a country, market, language, location, device type, and search filters.
You can connect over streamable HTTP or use @hasdata/bing-mcp as a stdio launcher. A HASDATA_API_KEY is required for authenticated requests, so the key must be available in the client configuration. The server reads search pages; it does not edit Bing data.
What it helps with
- inspect Bing results for a chosen country
- compare desktop and mobile rankings
- collect ads shown for a query
- retrieve Copilot text with cited pages
- return organic results as JSON
Example prompts for the agent
- Search Bing for “project management software” in the German market and report the organic results.
- Run the same query for
desktopandmobile, then compare their rankings. - Return the ads, organic listings, and Copilot response for this search as JSON.
