MCP Web Search & Scrape in Amp

Add Firecrawl’s search, scrape, crawl, and browser tools to Sourcegraph Amp via MCP.

Quick Setup

1. Get Your API Key

Sign up at firecrawl.dev/app and copy your API key.

2. Add Firecrawl to Amp

Open Amp settings and add an MCP server. Amp accepts standard MCP config:

{
  "amp.mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "firecrawl-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "fc-YOUR-API-KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace fc-YOUR-API-KEY with your Firecrawl API key.

3. Reload Amp

Reload the Amp window. Firecrawl tools are now available to the agent.

Quick Demo

Search the web for "Sourcegraph Cody vs Amp" and summarize the differences.

Scrape https://docs.firecrawl.dev and list the core endpoints.

Crawl https://example.com and output a site map as JSON.

Remote Hosted URL (no Node.js required)

{
  "amp.mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}

This configuration uses the keyless Firecrawl toolset. For an account-connected or unattended setup, follow the hosted MCP connection modes; keep API keys in an Authorization header or secure-secret store, never in a URL.

Troubleshooting

• Server fails to start — check Amp’s MCP log view for stderr output.
• Missing npx — install Node.js 18+ or use the remote hosted URL above.
