To configure Firecrawl MCP in Cursor v0.45.6
- Open Cursor Settings
- Go to Features > MCP Servers
- Click "+ Add New MCP Server"
- Enter the following:
- Name: "firecrawl-mcp" (or your preferred name)
- Type: "command"
- Command:
env FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y firecrawl-mcp
If you are using Windows and are running into issues, try
cmd /c "set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your-api-key && npx -y firecrawl-mcp"
Replace your-api-key with your Firecrawl API key. If you don't have one yet, you can create an account and get it from https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys
After adding, refresh the MCP server list to see the new tools. The Composer Agent will automatically use Firecrawl MCP when appropriate, but you can explicitly request it by describing your web scraping needs. Access the Composer via Command+L (Mac), select "Agent" next to the submit button, and enter your query.
