SATA Data cable, SATA power cable (will be on your PSU) and maybe a Phillips head screwdriver. There are no moving parts on an SSD though, so you could tape it down or just leave it loose if you wanted to.

Mounting bracket not needed?

Depends on the case. Most will have holes in the 3.5" bays where you can screw in an SSD and some will have dedicated SSD bays, a lot of which don't use any screws. Double sided tape is an option if you don't have anywhere to mount them with screws. I have three SSDs in my rig held in place by sticky backed velcro.
