Firecrawl is a Web Scraping MCP server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and any MCP-compatible AI agent extract clean data from any website. Install in 1 minute with mcpizy install firecrawl.
Web Scraping
Extract clean data from any website. Turn entire websites into LLM-ready markdown or structured data.
Connect your Firecrawl account once — MCPizy stores the credentials encrypted and uses them whenever you run a recipe in managed mode.
Scored on licence, adoption, maintenance and documentation of mendableai/firecrawl-mcp-server. We show the grade whether it flatters the server or not.

The Firecrawl MCP server is an Web Scraping Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents extract clean data from any website. It exposes Firecrawl's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.
The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install firecrawl` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y firecrawl-mcp` and restarting Claude Code.
Yes. The Firecrawl MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Firecrawl account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.
Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
Once installed, your AI agent can extract clean data from any website directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Firecrawl operations, inspect results, chain Firecrawl with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive web scraping tasks without leaving your editor.
