MCP.Pizza Chef: firecrawl

Firecrawl reads live websites on your assistant's behalf ā€” one page, every page under a section of a site, or a fresh web search ā€” and hands back clean readable text. It can click and move through pages that need it, dig through a topic on its own, and search an index built for coding questions covering GitHub issues, pull requests, and documentation. Point your app at the hosted address to start; scraping, searching, and page interaction work without a key.

firecrawl-mcp-server FAQ

Which apps does it work with?
Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Windsurf all have documented setups, and any MCP client can use the hosted address.
Do I need a key?
Not to start ā€” the hosted free tier allows scraping, searching, and page interaction. Crawling whole sites and extraction need a Firecrawl key.
How hard is setup?
Paste the hosted server address into your app, or add a short block with your key if you prefer running it locally.
Can I use this to summarize a long web page?
Yes ā€” it fetches the page and returns readable text your assistant can then summarize.
Can it handle many pages at once?
Yes ā€” it works through batches with rate limiting and automatic retries when a page fails.
Can I run it on my own servers?
Yes ā€” it supports a self-hosted Firecrawl instance as well as the cloud service.
