--- title: "Firecrawl MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 56 Firecrawl actions through one MCP server: team, crawls, monitors, agents. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/firecrawl updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · AI # Firecrawl MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Firecrawl and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 56 Firecrawl actions (37 reads, 13 writes and 6 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Firecrawl credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Firecrawl's limits and records every call. [Connect Firecrawl free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "firecrawl.monitors.list", intent: "check which Firecrawl account is connected" } # List monitors · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 56 actions in one signed file - 37 read look, never change - 13 write create and update - 6 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Firecrawl in three steps. 1. 01 ### Add actionlake to Claude. Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect Firecrawl. API key. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `api_key` Firecrawl API key (starts with fc-), from https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "firecrawl" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "firecrawl.monitors.list" } # list monitors · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "firecrawl.agents.start", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Firecrawl at a glance **Sign-in** API key.

These are all of them: - Delete a monitor `firecrawl.monitors.delete` - Delete an interact session `firecrawl.browser_sessions.delete` - Stop the interactive browser session associated with a scrape job `firecrawl.scrape_interactions.stop` - Cancel an agent job `firecrawl.agents.cancel` - Cancel a crawl job `firecrawl.crawls.cancel` - Cancel a batch scrape job `firecrawl.batch_scrapes.cancel` A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after. do firecrawl.monitors.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete a monitor? **intent:** the user asked me to delete a monitor run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _firecrawl-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "firecrawl-agent", allowed_actions: ["firecrawl.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "firecrawl.monitors.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "firecrawl.browser_sessions.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "firecrawl.scrape_interactions.stop", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to Firecrawl only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. Cost ## What Firecrawl costs on actionlake.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "firecrawl" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Firecrawl?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 6 Firecrawl actions are destructive, including delete a monitor, delete an interact session and stop the interactive browser session associated with a scrape job. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my Firecrawl API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Firecrawl service file: 100 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (19 Firecrawl actions can be), which never reaches Firecrawl. **What does a Firecrawl action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (8 Firecrawl actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Firecrawl refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which Firecrawl API does it cover?** The Firecrawl API v2 at api.firecrawl.dev/v2. It is built from Firecrawl's documentation as read on 22 October 2026. 56 actions in 21 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Firecrawl data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Firecrawl credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like Firecrawl Joins with, on shared entities - [DigitalOcean 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/digitalocean) - [Kibana (Elastic Observability) 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/kibana-elastic-observability) - [Dynatrace 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/dynatrace) - [Site24x7 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/site24x7) - [Sumo Logic 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sumo-logic) - [Grafana 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/grafana) Browse - [All AI connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/ai) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
