MCP Web Search & Scrape in Windsurf - Firecrawl Docs

Add Firecrawl’s keyless Search, Scrape, and Parse tools to Windsurf through the hosted MCP server.

Quick setup

Open Settings → Tools → Windsurf Settings → Add Server or edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf and confirm that firecrawl_search, firecrawl_scrape, and firecrawl_parse are available. Keyless access has limits shared by users on the same public IP. Sign in from an interactive client with For Humans, or add an API key for unattended use.

Try it

Search for the latest Tailwind CSS release notes and summarize the sources.

Scrape https://firecrawl.dev and explain what it does.

Troubleshooting

Server does not connect: confirm the hosted URL and inspect Windsurf’s MCP status.
Crawl or another tool is missing: keyless exposes exactly Search, Scrape, and Parse. Connect with OAuth or an API key for the broader tool surface.
