Use the Firecrawl MCP server
in Cursor

Web scraping for your AI: turn any website into clean, structured data with scrape, search, and parse tools. This guide connects Firecrawl to Cursor (the AI code editor) 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 Cursor

Cursor adds MCP servers via MCP settings or install deep links. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Firecrawl to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to Cursor' — Cursor opens and asks to install the gateway.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Firecrawl's tools are now available to Cursor's agent, governed by your rules.

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, ChatGPT, 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 Cursor 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.
