Does Codex support the Firecrawl MCP server?

Yes. Codex connects to the Firecrawl MCP server through one CLI command, pointed at your Metorial URL. You need the Codex CLI, IDE extension or ChatGPT desktop app.

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

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

Which Firecrawl tools can Codex 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 Codex?

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

What if Codex doesn't show Firecrawl tools?

Codex can connect without credentials and then see nothing. Run codex mcp login metorial to complete the OAuth sign-in.

1. Enable Firecrawl in Metorial
In your Metorial portal, enable the Firecrawl MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
2. Add the server and sign in
The Codex CLI, IDE extension and ChatGPT desktop app share this config.
```
codex mcp add metorial --url <your-magic-mcp-url>
codex mcp login metorial
```
3. Check the connection
Type /mcp in Codex to see Metorial and its Firecrawl tools.

Once Firecrawl is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in Codex, with only the tools their role allows.
