# Use Firecrawl MCP in ChatGPT

> Connect ChatGPT to Firecrawl with OAuth

Add Firecrawl's search, scrape, and account tools to ChatGPT.

<Warning>
  The account endpoint in this guide is not live yet and currently returns
  `404`. Until the rollout completes, keep existing Firecrawl connections on
  `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp`; do not configure `/v2/mcp-oauth` yet.
</Warning>

## Choose the right setup

### Firecrawl in the App Directory

If **Firecrawl** appears in your [ChatGPT App Directory](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11487775-connectors-in), select it and click **Connect**. Complete the Firecrawl sign-in and authorization flow when prompted.

This is the normal end-user path for an approved, published Firecrawl app. You do not need Developer mode or a custom app.

### Manual custom app

Use this path only when Firecrawl is not available in your App Directory or when you are testing a private MCP app.

OpenAI currently provides full custom MCP support on ChatGPT web for Business and Enterprise/Edu workspaces. Pro supports a more limited read/fetch path. Availability and permissions may change, so check [OpenAI's current Developer mode documentation](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461-developer-mode-apps-and-full-mcp-connectors-in-chatgpt-beta) before setup.

1. Have a workspace admin enable Developer mode under **Workspace settings > Permissions & Roles > Connected Data**.

2. Open **Settings > Apps > Create**, or **Workspace settings > Apps > Create** if you are publishing for the workspace.

3. Enter the Firecrawl endpoint:

   ```text theme={null}
   https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth
   ```

4. Choose OAuth when ChatGPT asks for the authentication mechanism.

5. Select **Scan Tools**, complete Firecrawl sign-in, choose the team to use, and approve access.

6. When the scan finishes, select **Create**. Workspace owners can then review and publish the app for other members.

Your Firecrawl API key is never placed in the app URL. ChatGPT stores a scoped OAuth connection instead.

## Use Firecrawl in a conversation

After connecting, mention the Firecrawl app in your prompt or choose it from **+ > More**.

Try:

```text theme={null}
Search for the latest React Server Components updates
```

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

```text theme={null}
Find the Vercel documentation for edge functions and summarize it
```

ChatGPT may ask you to confirm individual tool calls depending on the tool, workspace policy, and current product behavior.
