Use the Firecrawl MCP server
in Claude

Web scraping for your AI: turn any website into clean, structured data with scrape, search, and parse tools. This guide connects Firecrawl to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) 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 Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect Firecrawl to it from the verified directory (one click).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something Firecrawl can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

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 Code, ChatGPT, 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 Claude 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.
