👁 Firecrawl MCP Upgrades: Launch Week III - Day 6 image

Welcome to Launch Week III, Day 6 — Firecrawl MCP Upgrades.

Today, we're rolling out a major set of updates to our Firecrawl MCP server — our implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that powers scraping workflows with LLMs and web data.

FIRE-1 Web Action Agent Support

The Firecrawl MCP server now supports our new FIRE-1 model. This means you can now:

  • Use FIRE-1 via the MCP scrape and extract endpoints.
  • Seamlessly collect data behind interaction barriers — logins, buttons, modals, and more.
  • Incorporate intelligent, agent-driven scraping into any MCP-compatible tool.

Server-Sent Events (SSE)

We’ve added HTTP Server-Side Events (SSE) support to the MCP, making real-time communication and data flow smoother.

  • SSE is now available for local use.
  • This means you can plug into a running Firecrawl MCP server with minimal overhead.
