Use the Firecrawl MCP server
in ChatGPT

Web scraping for your AI: turn any website into clean, structured data with scrape, search, and parse tools. This guide connects Firecrawl to ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: Firecrawl in ChatGPT

ChatGPT adds MCP servers via custom connectors in developer mode. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Firecrawl to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors and enable Developer mode under Advanced.
  3. Click 'Create', name it 'gate', paste your gateway URL, and set authentication to OAuth.
  4. Approve the authorization — Firecrawl is now available in your ChatGPT conversations.

What to ask once it’s connected

“Scrape this product page and give me the specs as a table.”
“Search the web for recent reviews of this tool and summarize them.”
“Parse this article and extract every statistic it cites.”
“Get the pricing page of this competitor and compare it to ours.”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Firecrawl connection works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Firecrawl exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything ChatGPT did with Firecrawl — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Firecrawl passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
