GitHub: firecrawl/firecrawl-mcp-server
Homepage: firecrawl.dev
npm: firecrawl-mcp

Install

Needs an env var: FIRECRAWL_API_KEY — replace the <placeholders> with your values.

claude mcp add firecrawl --env FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=<FIRECRAWL_API_KEY> -- npx -y firecrawl-mcp

/mcp confirms it's connected.

Install

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

In claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart:

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