Add Firecrawl’s search, scrape, crawl, and browser tools to Google Gemini CLI via MCP.

Quick Setup

1. Get Your API Key

Sign up at firecrawl.dev/app and copy your API key.

2. Add Firecrawl to Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI reads MCP config from ~/.gemini/settings.json (global) or .gemini/settings.json in your project. Add:
Replace fc-YOUR-API-KEY with your Firecrawl API key.

3. Launch Gemini CLI

Confirm the server is loaded:
You should see firecrawl and its tools.

Quick Demo

Remote Hosted URL (no Node.js required)

Troubleshooting

  • Tools don’t show up — restart Gemini CLI after editing settings.json; MCP servers are loaded at startup.
  • spawn npx ENOENT — install Node.js 18+ or use the remote hosted URL.
  • Rate-limited — upgrade your Firecrawl plan at firecrawl.dev/pricing.
