🔥 Official Firecrawl MCP Server - Adds powerful web scraping and search to Curs

The Firecrawl MCP Server lets your AI crawl entire sites, convert pages to clean Markdown, and run web searches — no manual copy-paste of page content.

For example, "scrape this competitor's pricing page and turn it into a comparison table" — the AI uses Firecrawl to fetch, parse, and return structured results. This is Firecrawl's official server.
