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. Use OAuth for interactive account access or the API-key guide 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.
