Firecrawl MCP Server

MCP server for Firecrawl's web scraping and crawling API. Converts any website into clean, LLM-ready markdown or structured data. Supports single page scraping, multi-page crawling with depth control, sitemap-based extraction, and batch operations. Handles JavaScript-rendered pages, bypasses common anti-bot measures, and returns structured content suitable for RAG pipelines and knowledge base construction.
