The Lens

Gives your AI assistant web scraping superpowers via Firecrawl's API. Scrape pages to clean markdown, run searches, automate browser interactions, and map entire sites. All through MCP tool calls.

One npx command to install, but you need a Firecrawl API key. The service uses credit-based pricing, so costs scale with usage. Built-in credit warnings help prevent surprise bills. You can also point it at a self-hosted Firecrawl instance to avoid API costs entirely.

Official Firecrawl team maintains this. Worth installing if web research is part of your AI workflow.
