Add web scraping and search capabilities to Factory AI with Firecrawl MCP.

## Quick Setup [#quick-setup]

### 1. Get Your API Key [#1-get-your-api-key]

Sign up at [firecrawl.dev/app](https://firecrawl.dev/app) and copy your API key.

### 2. Install Factory AI CLI [#2-install-factory-ai-cli]

Install the [Factory AI CLI](https://docs.factory.ai/cli/getting-started/quickstart) if you haven't already:

**macOS/Linux:**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://app.factory.ai/cli | sh
```

**Windows:**

```powershell
iwr https://app.factory.ai/cli/install.ps1 -useb | iex
```

### 3. Add Firecrawl MCP Server [#3-add-firecrawl-mcp-server]

In the Factory droid CLI, add Firecrawl using the `/mcp add` command:

```bash
/mcp add firecrawl "npx -y firecrawl-mcp@3.23.0" -e FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```

Replace `your-api-key-here` with your actual Firecrawl API key.

### 4. Done! [#4-done]

The Firecrawl tools are now available in your Factory AI session!
