FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Firecrawl pricing work?

Firecrawl uses a credit-based system. You get 500 free lifetime credits to start (no credit card required). Base cost is 1 credit per page scraped. Advanced features like JSON extraction (+4 credits) or enhanced mode (+4 credits) consume additional credits per page. Paid plans start at $16/month with 3,000 monthly credits.

Can Firecrawl handle JavaScript-heavy websites?

Yes! Firecrawl renders pages in a full browser environment before extracting content — this means it handles React, Next.js, Angular, and any other JavaScript framework. It also automatically bypasses common anti-bot protections, removes cookie consent banners, and waits for dynamic content to load before extraction.

What formats does Firecrawl return?

Firecrawl can return content in multiple formats: Markdown (default and most popular for LLM consumption), HTML, raw HTML, structured JSON (with LLM-powered extraction), screenshots, links, and page metadata. You can request multiple formats in a single call.

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.

Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?

Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.

How do I list all connected MCP servers?

Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
