What is the Bing MCP server?

Bing MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Bing directly instead of describing what you should do. Python wrapper for the Bing Webmaster Tools API.

What you get

An async Python client library for the Bing Webmaster Tools API, providing a clean interface for managing websites, analyzing search traffic, handling content submissions, and more.

  • Async/await support — - Built on aiohttp for efficient async operations
  • Type-safe — - Full typing support with runtime validation using Pydantic
  • Domain-driven design — - Operations organized into logical service groups
  • Comprehensive — - Complete coverage of Bing Webmaster Tools API
  • Developer-friendly — - Intuitive interface with detailed documentation
  • Reliable — - Built-in retry logic, rate limiting, and error handling

What the assistant can call

Once Bing is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Description — The Bing Webmaster API Client is a modern, async Python library that provides a comprehensive interface to Bing Webmaster Tools API. The library is
  • Requirements — The Requirements tool exposed by this server
  • Authentication — 1. Environment variables (recommended): python client = BingWebmasterClient(Settings.from_env())

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Python 3.9 or higher - Bing Webmaster API key (follow the instructions here)

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at bing-webmaster-tools on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Choosing this one

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Bing's toolset — Description, Requirements, Authentication — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Ryan Siddle; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the bing mcp server does with a few real requests.

How to install the Bing MCP server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bing-webmaster-tools": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["bing-webmaster-tools"],
      "env": {
        "BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude Desktop.

Configuration

  • Python 3.9 or higher - Bing Webmaster API key (follow the instructions here)
VariableDescriptionRequired
BING_WEBMASTER_API_KEYCredential the server authenticates with.Yes

Example prompts to try

  • Use Bing to Description.
  • Use Bing to Requirements.
  • Use Bing to Authentication.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Bing to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (Description, Requirements, Authentication) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Bing directly.
