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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
