FAQ
Do I need a Firecrawl account to use the MCP server?
The hosted server works on a keyless free tier for scrape, search and interact (rate-limited). Crawl, map, agent and extract need an API key — sign up at the Firecrawl dashboard.
Firecrawl vs a plain HTTP scraper?
Firecrawl handles anti-bot, JavaScript rendering and markdown conversion out of the box, which a raw request library does not.
Is Firecrawl self-hostable?
There is a self-hosted option, but the MCP server is designed for the hosted API. See the repo for details.
