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 does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
