bingdata

bingdata is a small local bridge to the hosted HasData Bing MCP server, which returns Bing search results as JSON. Give it a query, and it fetches that query's Bing SERP: the organic results with their titles, links, snippets and positions, the related searches, and — as returned upstream — the ad block and the Copilot answer. Searches can be localised by free-text place or by latitude/longitude, and shaped by market, country, interface language, safesearch level, time filters, device type and page offset.

The bridge stores no results of its own. It serves the upstream server's tool list locally, exactly as captured from the live endpoint, and forwards each tool call upstream, returning the result untouched. The captured surface is a single read-only fetch: there is no write, messaging, or payment tool in it.

Tools

• hasdata_bing_serp_getSearchResults — fetch one Bing SERP. Required: q (the search term). Optional: location (free-text origin, resolved to coordinates; ignored when both are given, lat and lon take precedence), mkt (market), cc (country), setLang (interface language), safeSearch (off / moderate / strict), filters (Bing filter expressions, including the past-day/week/month date filters), deviceType (desktop / mobile / tablet), and first (result offset for paging: 1 is the first page, 11 the second, 21 the third). Returns organic results (title, url, snippet, displayed url, position) and related searches.

Configuration

• HASDATA_BING_MCP_URL (optional) — override the upstream endpoint. Defaults to https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=bing. (The override hook is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction.)
• HASDATA_API_KEY (optional) — when set, every upstream request carries an x-api-key: <key> header, for the caller's own HasData API key. When it is not set, no key header is sent. (The header name and the env name are pinned by the original's registry record; forwarding the key from this env var is a labelled reconstruction — the original surface was captured keyless.)

Forwarding mechanics

On the first tool call the client opens a streamable HTTP session with the upstream: a JSON-RPC initialize request (protocolVersion 2025-03-26, clientInfo name bingdata), then a notifications/initialized notification, then the tools/call request carrying the caller's arguments unchanged. When the upstream answers initialize with an Mcp-Session-Id header, that value rides on every later request of the session, which is reused for the life of the process. Replies may arrive as plain JSON or as server-sent events; both are read.

Successful upstream results pass through verbatim, including any isError flag the upstream sets. Failures — a JSON-RPC error, a non-2xx status, an unreadable response, or a request that cannot be completed — come back as an isError result whose text starts with bingdata error: (this rendering is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction).

CLI

The tool is also a subcommand taking one JSON argument string:

npx @reneturcios/bingdata hasdata_bing_serp_getSearchResults '{"q":"best coffee in san francisco","location":"San Francisco, California","mkt":"en-us","safeSearch":"moderate"}'
npx @reneturcios/bingdata --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on an isError result, 2 on a usage error.

MCP server

npx -y @reneturcios/bingdata mcp

MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bingdata": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/bingdata", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/bingdata
docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/bingdata --version

The container's default command is mcp, so the first form is a stdio MCP server; any other arguments reach the CLI normally.

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run dev

The test suite runs entirely against a stubbed JSON-RPC upstream — no live network calls.
