# MCP Web Search & Scrape in Cherry Studio

> Add Firecrawl web scraping and search to Cherry Studio in 2 minutes

Add Firecrawl's Search, Scrape, and other web tools to [Cherry Studio](https://cherry-ai.com) through the hosted MCP server.

Cherry Studio supports remote Streamable HTTP servers with custom headers, so you connect with your Firecrawl API key.

## Quick setup

1. [Create a Firecrawl API key](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys).
2. In Cherry Studio, open **Settings → MCP → MCP Servers** and select **Add**.
3. Choose **Import from JSON** and paste the following, replacing `<FIRECRAWL_API_KEY>` with your key:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <FIRECRAWL_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

4. Enable the server, wait for its status to turn healthy, then open its details and confirm that `firecrawl_search` and `firecrawl_scrape` are listed.
5. Open **Work**, edit your Agent, go to **MCP**, and enable the Firecrawl server so the Agent can use it.

You can also use **Quick Create** and set the type to **Streamable HTTP**, the URL to `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp`, and the header `Authorization=Bearer <FIRECRAWL_API_KEY>`.

For a local server instead, use type `stdio` with command `npx`, arguments `-y` and `firecrawl-mcp`, and the environment variable `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`. See the [local MCP server guide](/mcp-server/local).

Cherry Studio can also sign in to remote servers with OAuth when no `Authorization` header is set. See [For Humans](/mcp-server/oauth) for the Firecrawl OAuth endpoint.

## Try it

```text theme={null}
Search for the latest Tailwind CSS release notes and summarize the sources.
```

```text theme={null}
Scrape https://firecrawl.dev and explain what it does.
```

## Troubleshooting

* **Server does not connect:** confirm the type is Streamable HTTP, the URL is exactly `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp`, and the header is `Authorization: Bearer <FIRECRAWL_API_KEY>`. Check the server log in its details page.
* **Tools do not appear in a chat:** a server must be running and enabled for the Agent. Check **Work → Agent → Edit → MCP**.
* **A tool is missing:** open the server details to see which tools it exposes, and confirm your API key is valid.
