What it does
Firecrawl's MCP server lets an assistant scrape pages and crawl sites, returning clean markdown or structured data for research and extraction.
Like any MCP server, Firecrawl plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool , no custom integration code required.
