Connect Firecrawl to Kiro through the hosted MCP server. Kiro handles the browser sign-in for you, so there is nothing to register by hand. The same configuration file is used by the Kiro IDE and the Kiro CLI.
Kiro CLI replaces the Amazon Q Developer CLI. If you used q before, this page applies to you.

​
Quick setup

  1. Open the user-level configuration file ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json. In the IDE, run Kiro: Open user MCP config (JSON) from the command palette. For a single project, use .kiro/settings/mcp.json in the workspace instead.
  2. Add Firecrawl and save the file:
  1. Kiro reconnects when you save and opens the Firecrawl authorization page in your browser. Sign in and approve access.
  2. Open the MCP servers tab in the Kiro panel, or run kiro-cli mcp status --name firecrawl, and confirm that Firecrawl’s tools are available.
Remote servers in Kiro accept headers. Export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY in your shell, then use:
Kiro only expands environment variables you have approved. When it shows the security warning for FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, approve it, or add it under Mcp Approved Env Vars in settings.
See the OAuth connection guide for more details. For unattended use, configure an API key.

Troubleshooting

  • MCP support is off: in the IDE, open settings with Cmd/Ctrl + ,, search for “MCP”, and enable it.
  • The server does not connect: confirm the URL is exactly https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth and save the file again to trigger a reconnect.
  • An OAuth scope error appears: add "oauth": { "oauthScopes": [] } to the server entry.
  • Workspace and user files both define firecrawl: Kiro merges them and the workspace file wins. Keep one entry.
