191
+
192
+ Hosted Firecrawl can issue OAuth **access tokens** (`fco_…`) via the authorization server on [firecrawl.dev](https://firecrawl.dev). This MCP server forwards whichever credential it resolves to the Firecrawl API as `Authorization: Bearer …`.
193
+
194
+ - **HTTP stream transports** (`CLOUD_SERVICE=true`, `HTTP_STREAMABLE_SERVER=true`, or `SSE_LOCAL=true`): Clients should send `Authorization: Bearer <fco_access_token>` on MCP requests. An OAuth bearer token takes precedence over `x-firecrawl-api-key` / `x-api-key` when both are present.
195
+ - **stdio:** Use `FIRECRAWL_OAUTH_TOKEN` for a static access token, or keep using `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` for an API key.
196

197

876
+
877
+ Create and manage recurring page monitors. Monitors run scheduled scrapes or crawls, diff each result against the last retained snapshot, and can notify by webhook or email.
878
+
879
+ **Best for:**
880
+
881
+ - Watching one page or a few pages over time
882
+ - Alerting on meaningful changes using a plain-English goal
883
+ - Tracking check history and page-level diffs
884
+
885
+ **Recommended create pattern:**
886
+
887
+ Use `page` or `pages` plus `goal`. The MCP server builds the monitor request with a 30-minute schedule and the API enables meaningful-change judging automatically.
888
+
889
+ Write goals as concise 2-3 sentence monitor instructions. Say what should trigger an alert, preserve any scope the user gave, and include intent-specific exclusions only when obvious from the request. Generic noise such as whitespace, formatting-only changes, request IDs, tracking params, generic metadata, and unrelated page chrome is already handled by the judge, so do not repeat it in every goal. If the user is vague, keep the goal broad; if they ask for broad monitoring or "any change", preserve that. If the user says they do not care about something, include that explicitly.

- Pass the full request body. Required fields: \`name\`, \`schedule\` (with \`cron\` or \`text\`), and \`targets\` (one or more \`{ type: 'scrape', urls: [...] }\` or \`{ type: 'crawl', url: '...' }\`). Optional: \`webhook\`, \`notification\`, \`retentionDays\`.
128
+ Prefer the simple path: pass \`page\` or \`pages\` plus \`goal\`. The tool will create a scrape monitor with a 30-minute schedule and meaningful-change judging enabled by the API. Use \`body\` only for advanced requests such as crawl targets, JSON change tracking, custom retention, or manual \`judgeEnabled\` control.
129
+
130
+ Simple fields:
131
+ - \`page\`: one page URL to monitor.
132
+ - \`pages\`: multiple page URLs to monitor.
133
+ - \`goal\`: plain-English instruction for what changes matter. Required for the simple path.
134
+ - \`scheduleText\`: optional natural-language schedule, default \`every 30 minutes\`.
135
+ - \`email\`: optional email recipient for summaries.
136
+ - \`webhookUrl\`: optional webhook URL. Configures \`monitor.page\` and \`monitor.check.completed\`.
137
+
138
+ Goal guidance:
139
+ - Expand the user's one-line monitoring intent into a concise 2-3 sentence monitor goal.
140
+ - State what should trigger an alert, restate any scope the user gave, and include intent-specific exclusions only when obvious from the user's request.
141
+ - Generic noise such as whitespace, formatting-only changes, request IDs, tracking params, generic metadata, and unrelated page chrome is already handled by the judge; do not repeat it in every goal.
142
+ - If the user is vague, keep the goal broad rather than guessing exclusions. If the user asks for broad monitoring or "any change", preserve that and do not add exclusions that hide changes.
143
+ - If the user says they do not care about something, include that explicitly. It is okay to ask whether they want to ignore specific noise when it is likely to matter.
144
+ - Do not invent page-specific sections, thresholds, entities, or business rules unless the user mentioned them.
