Firecrawl MCP client compatibility
Short answer: grade B: documented for 2 of 5, config derivable for the rest. Based on docs, not hands-on tests.
Transport: stdio (npx) or hosted HTTP · Auth: FIRECRAWL_API_KEY (or OAuth token) · Run / URL: env FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-... npx -y firecrawl-mcp · server docs ↗ · repo ↗
| Client | Status | Source | Hands-on test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Configurable (derived) | client MCP docs ↗ | Untested |
| Codex CLI | Configurable (derived) | client MCP docs ↗ | Untested |
| Cursor | Documented | client MCP docs ↗ | Untested |
| Gemini CLI | Configurable (derived) | client MCP docs ↗ | Untested |
| VS Code (Copilot) | Documented | client MCP docs ↗ | Untested |
README documents Cursor, Windsurf and VS Code. For the others, a stdio command plus an env var is supported by every client listed.

- Documented: the server's own README or docs give setup steps for that client (linked on each server page).
- Configurable (derived): the server's docs don't mention the client, but the transport and auth it needs (stdio + env vars, or Streamable HTTP + header/OAuth) are documented by the client's official MCP docs: Claude Code ↗, Codex CLI ↗, Cursor ↗, Gemini CLI ↗, VS Code (Copilot) ↗.
- Grade A: documented for all 5 clients. Grade B: documented for some, derivable for the rest. Grade C: a client is blocked or unsupported (none in this batch).
- Hands-on testing: not yet done. These ratings are based on documentation only, not on running each server in each client. Client allowlists that docs don't mention would not show up here.
- Verified 2026-10-14. Server authors: open an issue to request a re-check.
