Does ChatGPT support the Firecrawl MCP server?

Yes. ChatGPT connects to the Firecrawl MCP server through its connector settings, pointed at your Metorial URL. You need a ChatGPT plan or workspace that allows custom MCP servers.

Do I need an API key to connect Firecrawl to ChatGPT?

No. You sign in to Firecrawl once through Metorial, and ChatGPT uses that connection. No API keys go into ChatGPT's settings.

Which Firecrawl tools can ChatGPT use?

All 40 Firecrawl tools your team allows, such as Extract Data, Map Website, Crawl Website. Admins can narrow that list per team.

Can I control which teammates use Firecrawl in ChatGPT?

Yes. Role-based access control decides who can use Firecrawl and which of its tools appear in ChatGPT, and every call is logged with the person's identity.

What if ChatGPT doesn't show Firecrawl tools?

Workspace policy controls it. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin grants the permission to create plugins with MCPs; ask them to enable it for you.

Type @ and pick the plugin. The selection applies to that message only, so @mention it again when a follow-up needs fresh Firecrawl data.
For write actions, ChatGPT may ask you to confirm first, depending on the app permissions and the action.
Once published for a workspace, ChatGPT keeps a snapshot of the tool list. When your team adds Firecrawl tools in Metorial, an admin refreshes the actions in Workspace settings before they appear.
You can use several apps in one prompt, for example read Firecrawl data and then create a ticket in another app.

Add custom MCP server is missing: Workspace policy controls it. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin grants the permission to create plugins with MCPs; ask them to enable it for you.
The plugin exists but no tools appear: Creating the plugin is not enough: install it from your plugins, then start a new conversation so ChatGPT loads its tools.
ChatGPT answers without using the tools: Pick the plugin with @ in the composer and name the action you want, for example "use Metorial to look up the latest ticket".
