Add Firecrawl's search, scrape, crawl, and browser tools to [Google Antigravity](https://antigravity.google/) via MCP.

## Quick Setup [#quick-setup]

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

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

### 2. Add Firecrawl to Antigravity [#2-add-firecrawl-to-antigravity]

Open Antigravity settings (`Cmd/Ctrl + ,`), search for **MCP Servers**, and add a new server with:

```json
{
  "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 Antigravity [#3-reload-antigravity]

Reload the window (`Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P` → `Reload Window`). The agent now has Firecrawl's web tools available.

## Quick Demo [#quick-demo]

In an Antigravity agent chat:

```
Search the web for "Vercel AI SDK v5 release notes" and summarize.
```

```
Scrape https://docs.firecrawl.dev/ai-onboarding and list every linked guide.
```

```
Crawl https://example.com and extract every page title.
```

Antigravity routes those tool calls through Firecrawl MCP automatically.

## Remote Hosted URL (no Node.js required) [#remote-hosted-url-no-nodejs-required]

```json
{
  "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](/developer-guides/mcp-setup-guides/oauth); keep API keys in an Authorization header or secure-secret store, never in a URL.

## Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

* **Server shows as "failed"** — check the MCP output panel for stderr. Most failures are a missing API key or `npx` not on `PATH`.
* **Tools not invoked** — explicitly mention Firecrawl (e.g., "Use Firecrawl to scrape…") in your first prompt so the agent picks the right tool.
