MCP Service Integration – Firecrawl Web Scraping and Deep Research
Provides powerful web scraping, search, and deep research capabilities via the MCP protocol.
Firecrawl MCP Server accepts query text, utilizes Firecrawl's web scraping capabilities to return the most relevant web content, supports extracting text from various web pages, and converts it to Markdown/HTML format for processing and generation by LLMs (Large Language Models).
