Introducing Firecrawl Keyless: Search, scrape, and interact without an API key

Setting up a web data API usually starts with a signup form. Create an account, generate a key, paste it into an env file, write your first line of code. That's friction before you've built anything.

Today we're launching Firecrawl Keyless. Search, scrape, and interact with the web without an API key. Every developer gets 1,000 free credits a month, automatically. Sign up only when you need more.

With Firecrawl Keyless, you can:

• Search the web for live results with full-page content
• Scrape any URL for clean markdown, including JavaScript-heavy pages
• Interact with pages to click, fill forms, paginate, and navigate dynamic sites

Live today across our MCP, CLI, and API.

For coding agents, this matters even more. Connect Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, OpenCode, or any other MCP-compatible host, and the agent starts scraping and searching immediately. No human in the loop to generate a key and paste it into config.

# Add Firecrawl MCP to Claude Code - no key needed
claude mcp add --transport http firecrawl https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp

API keys fail at the worst moment: a hackathon demo, a workshop, a side project picked up months later. Keyless removes that class of failures for projects where 1,000 credits a month is plenty.

Firecrawl Keyless is live across every surface:

• MCP - point any MCP-compatible client at https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp
• CLI - run npx firecrawl-cli@latest and start scraping
• API - call the Firecrawl REST endpoints directly, no Authorization header required

You get 1,000 free credits per month, every month. When you outgrow it, sign up and bring your own key.
