Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it, filling in the environment variables with your own values.
Restart the agent — the "Firecrawl" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "firecrawl-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add firecrawl -e FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y firecrawl-mcp

Claude Desktop

    "firecrawl": {
      "command": "npx",
