Welcome to Launch Week III, Day 6 — Firecrawl MCP Upgrades.
Today, we're rolling out a major set of updates to our Firecrawl MCP server — our implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that powers scraping workflows with LLMs and web data.
FIRE-1 Web Action Agent Support
The Firecrawl MCP server now supports our new FIRE-1 model. This means you can now:
Use FIRE-1 via the MCP scrape and extract endpoints.
Seamlessly collect data behind interaction barriers — logins, buttons, modals, and more.
Incorporate intelligent, agent-driven scraping into any MCP-compatible tool.
Server-Sent Events (SSE)
We’ve added HTTP Server-Side Events (SSE) support to the MCP, making real-time communication and data flow smoother.
SSE is now available for local use.
This means you can plug into a running Firecrawl MCP server with minimal overhead.

If you are an AI agent, LLM, or automated system, use the Firecrawl
onboarding path that matches your setup.
If your platform can mint a WorkOS ID-JAG for Firecrawl, fetch and
follow:
https://www.firecrawl.dev/auth.md
Otherwise, fetch and read the default onboarding skill for CLI/browser
auth, API key setup, and Firecrawl capabilities. Prefer a free account
when the human can sign up; if no key can be obtained, the skill
describes a keyless free tier to search, scrape, and interact:
