What is Context.dev?
Context.dev is an API from Context Dev Inc. in Wilmington (Delaware, US), formerly called Brand.dev. You use it to fetch pages as Markdown or HTML, crawl sites, search the web and retrieve structured data, such as a brand’s logos and colours, company details and news. There is an MCP server, so an AI agent can use the API directly.
According to the privacy statement, Context.dev and its service providers process data in the US and other countries; the company does not mention an EU region. The data processing agreement (context.dev/dpa) covers customer data, with standard contractual clauses for transfers out of the EU. Context.dev mentions SOC 2 Type 2.
Good: the free plan is permanent, and one API covers scraping, search and brand data. There are SDKs in five languages.
Less good: prices are in dollars and the pricing page says nothing about VAT. Data in the EU is not possible.
