Connect Firecrawl to Goose as a remote extension, so Goose can search the web and read pages through the hosted MCP server.

​
Requirements

​
Quick setup

  1. Export your API key in the shell you start Goose from:
  1. Add the extension to the extensions section of ~/.config/goose/config.yaml:
  1. Start a session and ask Goose to search or scrape:
Write the header as $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY with no braces, and keep env_keys in place. Goose sends ${FIRECRAWL_API_KEY} as literal text, and the server then rejects the request.
See Configure an API key for more on keys.

​
Troubleshooting

  • The key is reported invalid or revoked: check that the header uses $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY without braces and that FIRECRAWL_API_KEY is exported in the shell that starts Goose.
  • The extension is missing: run goose session again after saving the file, and confirm enabled: true.
  • Calls time out: raise timeout. Scraping a large page can take longer than the default.
  • Tools are not used: some models call MCP tools more reliably than others. Try a different model.
