A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with the Firecrawl API to give AI assistants the power to scrape, crawl, and search the web.

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (Cline/Roo Code), Continue, OpenAI Agents SDK, and any other MCP-compatible AI tool.

Usage

Command Line Test

# List available tools
node test-mcp.mjs tools

# Scrape a website
node test-mcp.mjs scrape https://example.com

# Search the web

With OpenAI Agents SDK (TypeScript)

import { Agent, run, MCPServerStdio } from "@openai/agents";

const mcp = new MCPServerStdio({
  name: "Firecrawl",
  fullCommand: "node dist/server.js",
  env: { FIRECRAWL_API_KEY: "fc-..." },
});

await mcp.connect();

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Web Assistant",
  instructions: "Use tools to scrape, crawl, and search the web.",
  mcpServers: [mcp],
});

const result = await run(agent, "Scrape https://example.com");
console.log(result.finalOutput);
await mcp.close();

Integration with AI Tools

Claude Desktop

Add to %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:

Name: firecrawl
Type: command
Command: node "C:/path/to/MCP/dist/server.js"
Environment: FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-...

VS Code + Cline / Roo Code

File: .vscode/cline_mcp_settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/MCP/dist/server.js"],
      "env": { "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-..." },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

  "experimental": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "firecrawl": {
        "command": "node",
        "args": ["C:/path/to/MCP/dist/server.js"],
        "env": { "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-..." }
      }
    }
  }
}

opencode

File: ./opencode.json

{
  "mcp": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["node", "MCP/dist/server.js"],
      "enabled": true,
      "env": { "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-..." }
    }
  }
}

HTTP Mode (Streamable HTTP)

Can't use stdio? Run the server as an HTTP endpoint instead:

npm run start:http
# Listening on http://127.0.0.1:3001/mcp

Then connect any MCP client to that URL.
