# MCP Web Search & Scrape in Claude Code

> Add Firecrawl to Claude Code without placing a key in the URL

Add Firecrawl search and scraping to Claude Code through the hosted MCP server.

## Try it without an account

Keyless mode requires no credential and exposes Search, Scrape, and Parse:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http firecrawl https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp
```

## Use your Firecrawl account

For the full tool set and account limits, export your Firecrawl API key and let the Firecrawl CLI configure an environment-backed Bearer header:

```bash theme={null}
export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-your-api-key
firecrawl setup mcp --agent claude-code --global --yes
```

The generated configuration refers to `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`; it does not place the key in the MCP URL. Keep the environment variable available when Claude Code starts.

## Try it

```text theme={null}
Search for the latest Next.js features
```

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

```text theme={null}
Find and scrape the Stripe API documentation for payment intents
```
