Firecrawl MCP

the heavyweight for scraping and structured extraction

free tier; paid api beyond it#turning-websites-into-st

the most capable scrape-crawl-map-extract toolset available, hosted or self-hosted — just don't use the endpoint format with your key in the path.

firecrawl covers scraping, crawling, site mapping, search and structured extraction, which makes it the tool of choice when you need a website turned into data rather than just read once. 79,000 npm downloads a week and 7,000 stars.

both hosted and self-hosted paths are documented — `env FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-... npx -y firecrawl-mcp` locally, or the hosted endpoints including a search-only variant if that's all you need.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

the most capable scrape-crawl-map-extract toolset available, hosted or self-hosted — just don't use the endpoint format with your key in the path.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
