Mastra

Wire Firecrawl into Mastra tools so your agents and workflows can search and scrape live web data.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22.13+
• A Firecrawl API key, get one free
• An API key from a supported Mastra model provider
• An existing Mastra project, follow the Mastra quickstart to set one up

Install the SDK

npm install @mendable/firecrawl-js

Set your API key

Add your API key to .env:

FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR-API-KEY

Build the Firecrawl tools

Create src/mastra/tools/firecrawl.ts to expose search and scrape as Mastra tools:

import Firecrawl from "@mendable/firecrawl-js";
import { createTool } from "@mastra/core/tools";
import { z } from "zod";

const firecrawl = new Firecrawl({ apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY! });

export const firecrawlSearch = createTool({
id: "firecrawl-search",
description: "Search the web and return top results.",
inputSchema: z.object({ query: z.string().min(1) }),
outputSchema: z.object({
  results: z.array(
    z.object({
      title: z.string().nullable(),
      url: z.string(),
    }),
  ),
}),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
  const results = await firecrawl.search(query, { limit: 3 });
  return {
    results: (results.web ?? []).map((item) => ({
      title: item.title ?? null,
      url: item.url,
    })),
  };
},
});

export const firecrawlScrape = createTool({
id: "firecrawl-scrape",
description: "Scrape a URL and return markdown content.",
inputSchema: z.object({ url: z.string().url() }),
outputSchema: z.object({ markdown: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ url }) => {
  const result = await firecrawl.scrape(url, {
    formats: ["markdown"],
    onlyMainContent: true,
  });
  return { markdown: result.markdown ?? "" };
},
});

Create the agent

Create src/mastra/agents/web-agent.ts and give it the Firecrawl tools:

import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { firecrawlSearch, firecrawlScrape } from "../tools/firecrawl";

export const webAgent = new Agent({
id: "web-agent",
name: "Web Agent",
instructions:
  "Use Firecrawl tools to search and scrape web pages, then summarize the results.",
model: "openai/gpt-5.4",
tools: { firecrawlSearch, firecrawlScrape },
});

Register the agent

Register the agent on your Mastra instance in src/mastra/index.ts:

import { Mastra } from "@mastra/core";
import { webAgent } from "./agents/web-agent";

export const mastra = new Mastra({
agents: { webAgent },
});

Test in Studio

Run the dev server and open Mastra Studio:

mastra dev

Open the Web Agent and try prompts like:

• "Find the latest Firecrawl changelog and summarize the last release."
• "Search for Firecrawl pricing and extract the plan tiers."

Self-hosted Firecrawl

If you run Firecrawl locally, set FIRECRAWL_API_URL and pass apiUrl to the client:

const firecrawl = new Firecrawl({
apiKey: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_KEY!,
apiUrl: process.env.FIRECRAWL_API_URL,
});
