Firecrawl MCP for Zed

Firecrawl MCP for Zed

This extension provides a Model Context Server for Firecrawl, for use with the Zed AI Agent.

Installation

This extension can be installed from the Zed extensions.

Zed Configuration

To configure Firecrawl MCP in Zed:

1. Open Zed settings.json then add the following configuration:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mcp-server-firecrawl": {
      "settings": {
        "firecrawl_api_key": "YOUR-API-KEY",
        "firecrawl_api_url": "YOUR-API-URL" // Optional, for self-hosted instances
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR-API-KEY with your Firecrawl API key. If you don't have one yet, create an account at firecrawl.dev.

If you're using a self-hosted Firecrawl instance, replace YOUR-API-URL with your instance URL. If you're using the official Firecrawl service, you can remove the firecrawl_api_url line.

Agent Mode Configuration

If you're using Zed's agent mode, you need to enable this context server for your assistant:

1. Open Zed's assistant settings
2. Enable the firecrawl mpc server. If you see that the status of the tool is a red dot, make sure you added your firecrawl api key in settings
3. Enable the firecrawl mpc server in the active assistant profile. In the chat section, click on the Write | Ask button, then click on tools, then enable the firecrawl mpc server.
