Choose how the connection will authenticate. Signing in and adding an API key are two paths to the same access: both reach the full tool surface on your team's plan.
No account or key. Search, Scrape, and Parse within daily limits. Browser sign-in from Codex, Claude Code, or your favorite harness. Configure an API key in your client, no browser needed.Create a Firecrawl API key, then send it as a bearer token:
URL: https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp
Authorization: Bearer <FIRECRAWL_API_KEY>
Configure the key through an environment variable or your client's secret storage, never in the MCP URL.
This is a server URL for your MCP client, not a page to open directly in a browser. Sign-in connections use `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth` instead, and your client starts the browser flow. Start keyless or use an API key. Sign in via browser.Next: choose a tool or run the server locally.
