🔥 Official Firecrawl MCP Server - Adds powerful web scraping and search to Cursor, Claude and any other LLM clients.
The official Firecrawl MCP Server is a JavaScript-based Model Context Protocol server that gives MCP-compatible AI clients, including Claude Desktop, live access to the web through Firecrawl's API. It exposes tools for scraping any URL into clean structured data, conducting web searches that return full page content, performing multi-step browser interactions such as clicking and navigating, and running deep autonomous research tasks across multiple pages. Built-in automatic retries and rate limiting handle unreliable connections, and the server supports both the Firecrawl cloud API and self-hosted Firecrawl instances via a single environment variable switch. It can be added to Claude Desktop through Smithery's one-command installer or configured manually with npx, and it also works in Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. A notable detail is the SSE and Streamable HTTP transport support, which allows the server to run as a local HTTP endpoint at localhost:3000 rather than the default stdio mode. Developers, researchers, and data engineers who need an AI agent to retrieve and process live web content are the primary audience.
