Firecrawl is a web scraping API that turns websites into clean, structured data. The Firecrawl MCP server lets you search, scrape, crawl, and extract data from websites using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Search the web with optional scraping and source filtering
  • Scrape single URLs for content in markdown, HTML, or other formats
  • Map websites to get all URLs ordered by relevance
  • Crawl entire sites and extract content from multiple pages
  • Deep extract data by autonomously navigating and exploring links
  • Interact with pages using natural language prompts or browser code
  • Manage interactive browser sessions for persistent browser automation

​
Where to Use It

Add Firecrawl as a tool to any agent. The agent can then scrape and extract web data conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Firecrawl tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Scrape this URL and get the content”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

​
Available Tools

The Gumloop-managed Firecrawl key supports searching, scraping, mapping, crawling, and extraction tools. Interactive browser tools — Interact, Stop Interact, Create Interact Session, Execute Interact Session, Delete Interact Session, and List Interact Sessions — require your own Firecrawl API key. Connect it in your Connectors page.

​
Example Prompts

Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node: Scrape a page:
Search the web:
Map a website:
Crawl a site:
Deep extract:
Batch scrape:
Interactive browser session:

​
Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Get all blog posts from this site” will map the URLs first, then scrape each one. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
