<Note>

MCP support in ChatGPT is currently a beta feature. The interface and availability may change as OpenAI continues development.
8+
</Note>
9+
10+
<Warning>
11+
**Availability:** Developer mode with MCP connectors is not available on the Free tier and requires a paid ChatGPT subscription. Availability and features vary by plan and region. See [OpenAI's documentation on Developer Mode](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461-developer-mode-apps-and-full-mcp-connectors-in-chatgpt-beta) for current availability and setup instructions.

14+
Add web scraping and search capabilities to ChatGPT with Firecrawl MCP.
15+
16+
## Quick Setup
17+
18+
### 1. Get Your API Key
19+
20+
Sign up at [firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys) and copy your API key.
21+
22+
### 2. Enable Developer Mode
23+
24+
Open ChatGPT settings by clicking your username in the bottom left corner, or navigate directly to [chatgpt.com/#settings](https://chatgpt.com/#settings).
25+
26+
In the settings modal, scroll to the bottom and select **Advanced Settings**. Toggle **Developer mode** to ON.

30+
</Frame>
31+
32+
### 3. Create the Connector
33+
34+
With Developer mode enabled, go to the **Apps & Connectors** tab in the same settings modal.
35+
36+
Click the **Create** button in the top right corner.
37+
38+
<Frame>

<img src="/images/integrations/mcp/chatgpt/apps-connectors-create.png" alt="Apps & Connectors tab with Create button highlighted" />
40+
</Frame>
41+
42+
Fill in the connector details:
43+
44+
- **Name:** `Firecrawl MCP`
45+
- **Description:** `Web scraping, crawling, search, and content extraction` (optional)
46+
- **MCP Server URL:** `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/YOUR_API_KEY_HERE/v2/mcp`
47+
- **Authentication:** `None`
48+
49+
Replace `YOUR_API_KEY_HERE` in the URL with your actual [Firecrawl API key](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys).

53+
</Frame>
54+
55+
Check the **"I understand and want to continue"** checkbox, then click **Create**.
56+
57+
### 4. Verify Setup
58+
59+
Go back to the main ChatGPT interface. You should see **Developer mode** displayed, indicating that MCP connectors are active.
60+
61+
If you do not see Developer mode, reload the page. If it still does not appear, open settings again and verify that Developer mode is toggled ON under Advanced Settings.
62+
63+
### 5. Access Firecrawl Tools
64+
65+
To use Firecrawl in a conversation, click the **+** button in the chat input, then select **More** and choose **Firecrawl MCP**.

69+
</Frame>
70+
71+
## Quick Demo
72+
73+
With Firecrawl MCP selected, try these prompts:
74+
75+
**Search:**
76+
```
77+
Search for the latest React Server Components updates
78+
```
79+
80+
**Scrape:**
81+
```
82+
Scrape firecrawl.dev and tell me what it does
83+
```
84+
85+
**Get docs:**
86+
```
87+
Scrape the Vercel documentation for edge functions and summarize it
88+
```
89+
90+
## Tool Confirmation
91+
92+
When ChatGPT uses the Firecrawl MCP tools, you will see a confirmation prompt asking for your approval.
93+
94+

96+
</Frame>
97+
98+
You can check **"Remember for this conversation"** to avoid repeated confirmations during the same chat session. This security measure is implemented by OpenAI to ensure MCP tools do not perform unintended actions.
99+
100+
Once confirmed, ChatGPT will execute the request and return the results.
