Firecrawl MCP Server

The Firecrawl MCP Server fronts Firecrawl's web data API: search with full page content, URL scraping into structured data, site mapping, crawling, extraction, page interaction, and asynchronous research agents. Firecrawl operates three hosted endpoints: the main server at https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp, which serves scrape, search, and interact on a keyless free tier and unlocks account tools with a bearer API key; an interactive OAuth variant at /v2/mcp-oauth; and a read-only search-only surface at /v2/mcp-search exposing six tools. A local stdio install runs via npx -y firecrawl-mcp with FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, or against a self-hosted Firecrawl instance via FIRECRAWL_API_URL.

Spec support is legacy, established first-hand. A 2026-08-07 probe of the hosted endpoint rejected a server/discover call at 2026-07-28 with the error "Unsupported protocol version: 2026-07-28 (supported versions: 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, 2024-11-05, 2024-10-07)", and a legacy initialize then negotiated 2025-11-25, identifying itself as firecrawl-fastmcp 3.23.5. The server is built on the third-party fastmcp framework rather than the official TypeScript SDK, with no direct @modelcontextprotocol/sdk dependency.

The publisher was formerly Mendable AI: the old mendableai GitHub organization now exists only as a pointer named "Mendable AI is now Firecrawl", and the README still labels a Smithery install path under the old scope as legacy. One bookkeeping quirk: recent versions publish to npm and the MCP Registry without matching git tags; the repository's GitHub releases stop at v3.2.1 (September 2025) while npm carries 3.23.5.
