1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"firecrawl","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Firecrawl is hosted by Firecrawl, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) 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.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
- · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
