Installation

How do I add web search to Claude and Claude Code?

To add web search to Claude, install the official Firecrawl connector from Claude's connector directory, connect your Firecrawl account and turn it on in a chat. The connector works in Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, Cowork and the Code tab, with no code or API key. For Claude Code in a terminal, add the hosted Firecrawl MCP server with one command.

1

Install the Firecrawl connector

Click Add to Claude on this page to open the Firecrawl connector in Claude. In Claude Desktop, you can also go to Customize > Connectors and search for Firecrawl, or find it in the Claude connector directory.

2

Connect your Firecrawl account

Select Connect. Claude opens Firecrawl in your browser, where you sign in, choose a team, and approve access. No account yet? You can create one for free in the same flow.

3

Turn on Firecrawl in a chat

In a conversation, open the + menu, go to Connectors, and enable Firecrawl. Then ask Claude to use it. For example:

Prompt
Use Firecrawl to search for the latest Next.js release notes and summarize the sources.
4

Add the same web search to Claude Code

Run this command in a terminal to add the hosted Firecrawl MCP server to Claude Code. Then enter /mcp in Claude Code, choose firecrawl and sign in through your browser. For setup with an API key instead, see the Firecrawl in Claude Code guide.

Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http firecrawl https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth

How do I get Claude to extract structured data from a list of URLs?

To get Claude to extract structured data from a list of URLs, turn on the Firecrawl connector, paste the URLs, and name the fields you want. Claude scrapes each URL with Firecrawl, which renders JavaScript pages, and returns one row per page as a table, JSON or CSV.

1

Turn on Firecrawl in the chat

Add the connector with the steps above, then open the + menu, go to Connectors, and enable Firecrawl for the conversation.

2

Paste the URLs and name the fields

Put one URL per line and list the fields to pull from each page. Name Firecrawl in the prompt so Claude reads the pages through the connector. In this example, replace the example.com URLs with your own:

Prompt
Use Firecrawl to scrape each of these URLs and extract the product name, price, currency and stock status. Return one row per URL as a table, and leave a field empty when the page doesn't show it.

https://example.com/products/trail-shoe
https://example.com/products/rain-jacket
https://example.com/products/day-pack
3

Get the table, then export it

Ask Claude for the same rows as JSON or CSV, or add a field and run the prompt again. Each scraped page costs 1 Firecrawl credit, plus 4 Firecrawl credits per page when the scrape uses Firecrawl's JSON format. Reformatting Claude's answer costs nothing extra. For hundreds of URLs, use the Firecrawl batch scrape API, which runs the whole list as one job.

Frequently
asked questions

Everything you need to know about this integration.
General
It is Firecrawl's official connector in the Claude directory. It lets Claude search the web, read pages from URLs you give, search developer sources such as issues, pull requests, and docs, and search research papers. It can also find and run data providers in Firecrawl Alexandria.
The connector gives Claude eight Firecrawl tools: web search, page scraping, Firecrawl Alexandria tool discovery, Developer Index search, and four research tools for searching papers, inspecting a paper, reading its full text, and finding related papers. You do not need to set up an MCP server separately.
Technical
Open the Firecrawl connector in the Claude directory and select Connect. Sign in to Firecrawl, choose a team, and approve access. Then open the + menu in a chat, go to Connectors, and enable Firecrawl.
Firecrawl ships one as the Firecrawl connector, which is listed in Claude's connector directory and runs on Firecrawl's hosted MCP server. One sign-in makes Firecrawl web search available in Claude Desktop chat, Cowork and the Code tab. Firecrawl also maintains the open-source Firecrawl MCP server for local setups and other MCP clients.
Integration
Turn on the Firecrawl connector alongside Claude's own web search and ask Claude to use Firecrawl. Firecrawl search returns ranked results with the passages that match your query, and Firecrawl can then scrape any result into clean Markdown, including pages built with JavaScript.
You need a Firecrawl account, and you can create one for free when you connect. You do not need to copy an API key. The connector uses your team's plan.
Advanced
Turn on Research from the + menu and enable the Firecrawl connector in the same chat. Claude's Research mode searches the web and every connector turned on for the chat, so it can run Firecrawl searches, read full pages from the results, and search research papers. Research needs a paid Claude plan with web search on, and it uses connectors in Claude on the web and Claude Desktop but not in the mobile app.
Claude's own page fetch often can't. In Glenn Gabe's GSQI retest on October 19, 2026, Claude got back only the header, navigation and footer of pages whose main content was built with JavaScript. With the Firecrawl connector, Claude reads those pages through Firecrawl's scrape tool, which renders JavaScript and returns the visible content as Markdown.
More Questions 1
Check that Firecrawl is enabled for the chat in the + menu under Connectors. If sign-in did not finish, open the connector in Claude and connect your Firecrawl account again.
Firecrawl Alexandria is Firecrawl's library of data for AI agents, with 400+ data providers alongside Firecrawl's own indexes. When you ask for data the open web covers poorly, Claude searches Firecrawl Alexandria for a tool that fits, checks what the tool needs, then runs it and returns structured data from the source. Some providers require your organization to accept their terms first, which an admin can do in the Firecrawl dashboard.
More Questions 2
Remove the connector in Claude, or review and revoke connections from MCP settings in your Firecrawl dashboard.
