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
Where to Use It
In Agents (Recommended)
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:- Open your agent’s configuration
- Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
- Search for the integration and select it
- Authenticate with your account
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.- Go to your node library and search for the integration
- Click Create a node with AI
- Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Scrape this URL and get the content”)
- 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
| Tool | Description | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Search | Search the web and optionally scrape full page content. Returns results organized by source type (web, images, news). | 8 per item |
| Scrape | Scrape a single URL and extract content in various formats. | 8 |
| Map | Get all URLs from a website. Returns a list of URLs ordered by relevance. | 1 |
| Crawl | Crawl a website and extract content from multiple pages. | 40 |
| Get Crawl Status | Get the status and results of a crawl job. | 8 per item |
| Batch Scrape | Scrape multiple URLs at once. | 40 |
| Get Batch Scrape Status | Get the status and results of a batch scrape job. | 8 per item |
| Deep Extract | Autonomously navigate and extract data from websites based on a prompt. Unlike regular extract, this explores links and pages to find relevant data. | 120 |
| Get Deep Extract Status | Get the status and results of a deep extract job. | 3 |
Example Prompts
Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node: Scrape a page:Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Agent not finding the right data | Ensure the URL is publicly accessible |
| Action not completing | Check that you’ve authenticated and have sufficient Firecrawl credits |
| Unexpected results | The agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., mapping first, then scraping). Review the agent’s reasoning to understand its approach. |
| Tool not available | Verify the tool is enabled in your agent’s MCP configuration |
