Add the Firecrawl MCP server to Cursor

Search the web and scrape or crawl pages into clean Markdown for the model.

Official serverRemote + localWeb search & scraping

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Firecrawl is hosted by Firecrawl, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Firecrawl can do. Search the web and scrape or crawl pages into clean Markdown for the model. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
