Firecrawl MCP server
Short answer: Yes. Firecrawl has an official MCP server: io.github.firecrawl/firecrawl-mcp-server, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified firecrawl GitHub organisation and hosted at https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp.
This page covers the official server for Firecrawl and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.
What can you do with the Firecrawl MCP server?
Firecrawl's official server gives assistants search, scraping and page interaction, returning clean text from websites. It is hosted at mcp.firecrawl.dev and also published as firecrawl-mcp with a FIRECRAWL_API_KEY.
- Pull the text of a competitor's pricing page into a comparison.
- Crawl a client's site before a redesign to inventory every page.
- Research a list of companies and extract the same fields from each.
Is there an official Firecrawl MCP server?
Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under Firecrawl's own namespace: io.github.firecrawl/firecrawl-mcp-server. 3 community servers are listed too.
What should you check before connecting Firecrawl?
- Credits: calls use your Firecrawl plan's allowance.
- Respect each site's terms and robots rules when crawling.

How do I connect the Firecrawl MCP server to Claude?
The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.
In Claude Code, run:
claude mcp add --transport http firecrawl https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcpA local package is listed as firecrawl-mcp. Use the publisher's installation instructions for its complete command, arguments and authentication settings. A package name alone is not a complete Claude Desktop or Claude Code configuration.
The registry also lists these authentication or required environment fields: FIRECRAWL_API_KEY (secret). Follow the publisher's guidance on which ones your authentication method needs, and keep secrets out of shared files.
Does the Firecrawl MCP server work with ChatGPT?
A hosted endpoint is available at https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.
How do I add it to Cursor?
Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:
{
"mcpServers": {
"firecrawl": {
"url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp"
}
}
}
Keep what your assistant does in one place
Research results can be saved to the client's account or project in Flori, so the next session starts from what was already found. Flori's MCP server gives every assistant one shared CRM and project record.
