Firecrawl Source
Firecrawl is a web crawling API that provides two main capabilities in our MCP:
- HTML Content Retrieval: Using
invoke_firecrawl_crawlhtml
to start crawl jobs andcheck_crawlhtml_status
to monitor them - LLM-Optimized Text Generation: Using
invoke_firecrawl_llmtxt
to generate text andcheck_llmtxt_status
to retrieve results
How Firecrawl works:
Web Crawling Process:
- Starts with a specified URL and analyzes it to identify links
- Uses the sitemap if available; otherwise follows links found on the website
- Recursively traverses each link to discover all subpages
- Gathers content from every visited page, handling JavaScript rendering and rate limits
- Jobs can be cancelled with
cancel_crawlhtml_job
if needed - Use this if you require all the info extracted into raw HTML, Unstructured's workflow cleans it up really well :smile:
LLM Text Generation:
- After crawling, extracts clean, meaningful text content from the crawled pages
- Generates optimized text formats specifically formatted for large language models
- Results are automatically uploaded to the specified S3 location
- Note: LLM text generation jobs cannot be cancelled once started. The
cancel_llmtxt_job
function is provided for consistency but is not currently supported by the Firecrawl API.
Note: A FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
environment variable must be set to use these functions.
Installation & Configuration
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up and configure the UNS_MCP server using Python 3.12 and the uv
tool.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
uv
for environment management- An API key from Unstructured. You can sign up and obtain your API key here.
Using uv
(Recommended)
No additional installation is required when using uvx
as it handles execution. However, if you prefer to install the package directly:
uv pip install uns_mcp
Configure Claude Desktop
For integration with Claude Desktop, add the following content to your claude_desktop_config.json
:
Note: The file is located in the ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/
directory.
Using uvx
Command:
{
"mcpServers": {
"UNS_MCP": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["uns_mcp"],
"env": {
"UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY": "<your-key>"
}
}
}
}
Alternatively, Using Python Package:
{
"mcpServers": {
"UNS_MCP": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "uns_mcp"],
"env": {
"UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY": "<your-key>"
}
}
}
}
Using Source Code
-
Clone the repository.
-
Install dependencies:
uv sync
-
Set your Unstructured API key as an environment variable. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:
UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY"
Refer to
.env.template
for the configurable environment variables.
You can now run the server using one of the following methods:
<details> <summary> Using Editable Package Installation </summary> Install as an editable package:uvx pip install -e .
Update your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"UNS_MCP": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["uns_mcp"]
}
}
}
Note: Remember to point to the uvx executable in environment where you installed the package
</details> <details> <summary> Using SSE Server Protocol </summary>Note: Not supported by Claude Desktop.
For SSE protocol, you can debug more easily by decoupling the client and server:
-
Start the server in one terminal:
uv run python uns_mcp/server.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 # or make sse-server
-
Test the server using a local client in another terminal:
uv run python minimal_client/client.py "http://127.0.0.1:8080/sse" # or make sse-client
Note: To stop the services, use Ctrl+C
on the client first, then the server.
Configure Claude Desktop to use stdio:
{
"mcpServers": {
"UNS_MCP": {
"command": "ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR-UNS-MCP-REPO/uns_mcp",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
Alternatively, run the local client:
uv run python minimal_client/client.py uns_mcp/server.py
</details>
Additional Local Client Configuration
Configure the minimal client using environmental variables:
LOG_LEVEL="ERROR"
: Set to suppress debug outputs from the LLM, displaying clear messages for users.CONFIRM_TOOL_USE='false'
: Disable tool use confirmation before execution. Use with caution, especially during development, as LLM may execute expensive workflows or delete data.
Debugging tools
Anthropic provides MCP Inspector
tool to debug/test your MCP server. Run the following command to spin up a debugging UI. From there, you will be able to add environment variables (pointing to your local env) on the left pane. Include your personal API key there as env var. Go to tools
, you can test out the capabilities you add to the MCP server.
mcp dev uns_mcp/server.py
If you need to log request call parameters to UnstructuredClient
, set the environment variable DEBUG_API_REQUESTS=false
.
The logs are stored in a file with the format unstructured-client-{date}.log
, which can be examined to debug request call parameters to UnstructuredClient
functions.
Add terminal access to minimal client
We are going to use @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander to add terminal access to the minimal client. It is built on the MCP Filesystem Server. Be careful, as the client (also LLM) now has access to private files.
Execute the following command to install the package:
npx @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander setup
Then start client with extra parameter:
uv run python minimal_client/client.py "http://127.0.0.1:8080/sse" "@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander"
### or
make sse-client-terminal
Using subset of tools
If your client supports using only subset of tools here are the list of things you should be aware:
update_workflow
tool has to be loaded in the context together withcreate_workflow
tool, because it contains detailed description on how to create and configure custom node.
Known issues
update_workflow
- needs to have in context the configuration of the workflow it is updating either by providing it by the user or by callingget_workflow_info
tool, as this tool doesn't work aspatch
applier, it fully replaces the workflow config.
CHANGELOG.md
Any new developed features/fixes/enhancements will be added to CHANGELOG.md. 0.x.x-dev pre-release format is preferred before we bump to a stable version.
Troubleshooting
- If you encounter issues with
Error: spawn <command> ENOENT
it means<command>
is not installed or visible in your PATH:- Make sure to install it and add it to your PATH.
- or provide absolute path to the command in the
command
field of your config. So for example replacepython
with/opt/miniconda3/bin/python
