Firecrawl MCP Server

Scrapes websites and extracts structured data using Firecrawl's APIs. Exposed over MCP by the firecrawl mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

This is a simple MCP server that provides tools to scrape websites and extract structured data using Firecrawl's APIs.

• Website Scraping — Extract content from websites in various formats
• Structured Data Extraction — Extract specific data points based on custom schemas
• Error Tracking — Integrated with Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: FIRECRAWL_API_TOKEN, SENTRY_DSN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Plenty of monitoring and observability servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by codyde; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the firecrawl mcp server does with a few real requests.
