Summary
Wraps the Firecrawl API to give Claude web crawling and search capabilities through two straightforward tools. The map tool discovers all URLs on a website, while search performs web queries with optional page content retrieval. Runs as a remote server through Pipeworx's gateway, so no local setup or API keys needed in your config. You can call tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx interface to make requests in plain English and let the gateway route them. Useful when you need Claude to explore site structure or pull fresh web content without managing crawling infrastructure yourself.

Firecrawl MCP — wraps the Firecrawl API (firecrawl.dev) for web
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
scrape | Scrape a single URL using Firecrawl's JS-rendering engine and return clean markdown (up to 100,000 chars), page title, and description. Strips navigation/boilerplate by default (only_main_content=true). Supports output formats: markdown, html, rawHtml, links. |
map | Crawl a website and return all discovered URLs (up to 5,000). Optionally filter by a search term to rank discovered links by relevance. Returns {url, count, links[]}. |
search | Run a web search via Firecrawl and return ranked results with URL, title, and description snippet. Takes a query string and optional limit (default 5, max 20). Returns {query, results[{url, title, description}]}. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"firecrawl": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/firecrawl/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/firecrawl/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Firecrawl data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
Our firecrawl key is reserved for paid accounts, so an anonymous call to POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/scrape needs your own key passed as _apiKey alongside the arguments. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/scrape. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
