MCP Web Search & Scrape in OpenCode ​

Add Firecrawl web scraping and search to OpenCode

Add Firecrawl's search, scrape, crawl, and browser tools to OpenCode via MCP.

Quick Setup ​

1. Get Your API Key ​

Sign up at firecrawl.dev/app and copy your API key.

2. Add Firecrawl to OpenCode ​

OpenCode reads config from ~/.config/opencode/config.json (global) or ./opencode.json in your project. Add:

json
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"mcp": {
  "firecrawl": {
    "type": "local",
    "command": ["npx", "-y", "firecrawl-mcp"],
    "environment": {
      "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-YOUR-API-KEY"
    }
  }
}
}

Replace fc-YOUR-API-KEY with your Firecrawl API key.

3. Start OpenCode ​

bash
opencode

OpenCode loads MCP servers on startup. Confirm Firecrawl is attached:

/mcp

Quick Demo ​

Search the web for "Bun 2.0 changelog" and summarize the top results.
Scrape https://docs.firecrawl.dev/introduction and list the code examples.
Crawl https://example.com/blog and save each post as markdown.

Remote Hosted URL (no Node.js required) ​

json
{
"mcp": {
  "firecrawl": {
    "type": "remote",
    "url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/fc-YOUR-API-KEY/v2/mcp"
  }
}
}

Troubleshooting ​

  • Server not attached, run opencode doctor to inspect MCP load errors.
  • Permission denied on npx, install Node.js 18+ and ensure your shell picks up the install (which npx).
