## Add an API key
## Sign in

[Create a Firecrawl API key](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys), then add it as a bearer token in your client config:
Point your client at the OAuth server URL. Your client opens a browser window where you sign in to Firecrawl and approve a team:

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"firecrawl": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <FIRECRAWL_API_KEY>"
}
"url": "https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth"
}
}
}
```

Configure the key through an environment variable or your client's secret storage, never in the MCP URL.
No API key or headers are needed. Review and revoke connections from [MCP settings](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/settings?tab=mcp).

<Note>
This is a server URL for your MCP client, not a page to open directly in a browser. Sign-in connections use `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp-oauth` instead, and your client starts the browser flow.
This is a server URL for your MCP client, not a page to open directly in a browser. API-key connections use `https://mcp.firecrawl.dev/v2/mcp` with a bearer token instead; see [Add an API key](/mcp-server/keyless#add-an-api-key).
