Connection

  • Local: env FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-... npx -y firecrawl-mcp (stdio).
  • Hosted: https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp (keyless free access available) or https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/{FIRECRAWL_API_KEY}/v2/mcp with a key; a search-only lightweight variant is at https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-search.
  • FIRECRAWL_API_URL — point to a self-hosted instance instead of the cloud; FIRECRAWL_OAUTH_TOKEN — alternative to an API key in stdio mode.
