Connect Claude Code to Firecrawl through the hosted MCP server. OAuth is the recommended interactive setup because the key never enters the command line, project files, or conversation.

​
Quick setup

​
1. Add Firecrawl

Run:
https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth is a client configuration value, not a page to open directly in a browser.

​
2. Sign in and verify

Enter /mcp in Claude Code, choose firecrawl, and complete the browser sign-in. Start a new Claude Code session if you changed an existing Firecrawl connection. Confirm that only one firecrawl server is active, then try:

​
Other connection modes

  • Try keyless MCP for Search, Scrape, and Parse without an account or key.
  • Configure an API key for unattended use. Keep the secret outside agent chat and use an environment-variable reference.
  • Run MCP locally only when you need a local process or a self-hosted Firecrawl API. The local package requires Node.js 22 or newer.

​
Troubleshooting

  • A Firecrawl server already exists: run claude mcp remove firecrawl, add the intended connection once, then start a new session.
  • The browser does not open: enter /mcp, select firecrawl, and start authentication from the client.
  • The server shows 401: sign in again through /mcp; do not paste an API key into the conversation or OAuth URL.
