Firecrawl MCP Server
Firecrawl's own MCP server, which gives an agent access to the Firecrawl web data API.
What it does
Firecrawl's own MCP server, which gives an agent access to the Firecrawl web data API. It can run on the user's machine from the firecrawl-mcp npm package, in Docker, or be reached at Firecrawl's hosted endpoint, where scraping, search and document parsing work without a key on a rate-limited free tier and the other tools need an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Tools cover web search, turning pages into Markdown, mapping and crawling sites, parsing PDFs, driving a live browser session, multi-source agent jobs, change monitors, searches over developer, US government and scientific paper indexes, and credit usage checks. It can also point at a self-hosted Firecrawl instance.
Capabilities
- Search the web, optionally fetching each result's full page
- Convert a known URL into Markdown or structured data
- Map a site's URLs or crawl a section for many pages
- Click, type and navigate a page in a hosted browser session
