1. Refactored the core usage logic from `arcade_cli` to `arcade_core`
2. Add "MCP server started" event
As always, opt out by setting `ARCADE_USAGE_TRACKING` to 0.
Previously, MCPApp did not truly have reload capabilities. Instead, if
`reload=True`, then under the hood we would just change over to the
module execution code path (e.g., `arcade mcp`, or `python -m
arcade_mcp_server`). This was bad because custom `MCPApp` startup code
was not being executed and tools that were not added to `MCPApp`'s
catalog were being discovered and added to the server.
`MCPApp` now contains its own custom reload logic. It doesn't use
uvicorn's reload because uvicorn's discovery & factory pattern wasn't
the best fit for `MCPApp`'s self-contained pattern.
Now when `MCPApp.run(reload=True)` is called, `MCPApp` becomes the
parent process that manages reload itself.
Updating BrightData
- Updating project.toml
- Fix linting issues (related to the repo configs)s
- Rename package from brightdata -> arcade-brightdata ( also will be
used by PyPI)
- Added to toolkits.txt so it can be deployed
Extra:
- Arcade new templates did not have the extra line at the end, so it has
been added.

# PR Description
`arcade deploy` will deploy your local MCP server to Arcade. `arcade
deploy` should be executed at the root of your MCP Server package.
Before deploying, the command runs your server locally to ensure your
project is setup correctly and the server runs properly. `arcade deploy`
assumes your entrypoint file will execute `MCPApp.run` when the file is
invoked directly. This means you must either have an `if __name__ ==
"__main__" block that contains `MCPApp.run`, or `MCPApp.run` should be
top-level code (unindented living directly in the body of the file).

# Add Bright Data Web Scraping and Data Extraction Toolkit
## Overview
This PR introduces a comprehensive Bright Data toolkit that provides web
scraping, search, and structured data extraction capabilities through
the Bright Data API.
## Features Added
### Core Tools
1. **`scrape_as_markdown`** - Scrapes any webpage and returns clean
Markdown content
2. **`get_screenshot`** - Captures screenshots of webpages and saves
them locally
3. **`search_engine`** - Advanced search functionality across Google,
Bing, and Yandex with customizable parameters
4. **`web_data_feed`** - Extracts structured data from major platforms
(LinkedIn, Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, Zillow, Booking.com,
etc.)
### Supporting Infrastructure
- **`BrightDataClient`**
- Error handling
- URL encoding utilities and request optimization
## Technical Details
### Search Engine Capabilities
- Multi-engine support (Google, Bing, Yandex)
- Advanced parameters: language, country, search type (images, shopping,
news)
- Device targeting (mobile, iOS, Android, iPad)
- Pagination and result count control
- Location-based searches
### Structured Data Sources
Supports 13+ data sources including:
- **E-commerce**: Amazon products and reviews
- **Professional**: LinkedIn profiles and companies, ZoomInfo
- **Social Media**: Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter) content
- **Real Estate**: Zillow property listings
- **Travel**: Booking.com hotel listings
- **Video**: YouTube videos and metadata
## Testing & Validation
- [x] Deployed and tested on personal account
- [x] Tested via ngrok as well
- [x] Verified all tool functions work as expected
- [x] Validated against multiple data sources and search engines
- [x] Confirmed error handling and edge cases
## Security & Best Practices
- Requires proper API key and zone configuration via secrets
## Dependencies
- `requests` - HTTP client
- `arcade_tdk` - Arcade toolkit framework
- Standard library modules: `json`, `time`, `typing`, `urllib.parse`
## Notes
- All tools require `BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY` secret
- Search and scraping tools also require `BRIGHTDATA_ZONE` secret
- Follows Arcade AI toolkit patterns and conventions
- Comprehensive docstrings with examples provided
This toolkit significantly expands Arcade AI's web data capabilities,
enabling users to scrape, search, and extract structured data from
across the web through a single, unified interface.

There are many more instances of toolkit within this repo, but the goal
of this PR is to get rid of user facing references as much as possible.

No Oauth, uses Oauth1 and needs a Token and a Api key as secrets.
