Add web scraping and search capabilities to Windsurf 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. Add to Windsurf [#2-add-to-windsurf]

Add this to your `./codeium/windsurf/model_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firecrawl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "firecrawl-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FIRECRAWL_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your actual Firecrawl API key.

### 3. Restart Windsurf [#3-restart-windsurf]
