Official serverRemote + localWeb search & scraping

1. Add the server

Run in your terminal

gemini mcp add --transport http firecrawl https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp

2. Sign in

Run /mcp auth <name> inside Gemini CLI to sign in to an OAuth server. Firecrawl is hosted by Firecrawl, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Gemini CLI 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.

· In settings.json, streamable HTTP servers use httpUrl, SSE servers use url, local servers use command.
· includeTools and excludeTools limit which tools the model sees.
