Inconsistent sources schema and example in firecrawl_search tool (causes 422 errors)

[lski-tools]

The firecrawl_search tool’s OpenAPI specification defines sources as an array of objects with a required type field:

"firecrawl_search_form_model_sources_item_model": {
  "properties": {
    "type": { "type": "string", "title": "Type" }
  },
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["type"]
}

However, the tool’s description text in src/index.ts shows usage examples that use a string array instead:

"sources": ["web"]

This mismatch causes LLMs and clients that rely on the example (like OpenWebUI or LangChain tool integrations) to send ["web"], which leads to 422 validation errors:

HTTP error 422: {"detail":[{"type":"model_attributes_type","loc":["body","sources",0],"msg":"Input should be a valid dictionary or object to extract fields from","input":"web"}]}

Here is a link to the line in question:

firecrawl-mcp-server/src/index.ts

Line 391 in 8d24d6a

"sources": [

I think there are more examples further down that also have the same problem.

Expected behavior:

The examples in the tool description should match the actual schema and use the object form:

"sources": [ { "type": "web" } ]

Possible improvements:

• Update the example JSON blocks in src/index.ts for firecrawl_search to use the object form.
• Optionally make the Zod schema backward compatible by accepting both List[str] and List[{type:str}] to avoid breaking older clients.

Environment:

• firecrawl-mcp version: 3.4.0
• mcpo CLI version: 0.0.17
• Python base image: 3.11-slim
• Observed in OpenWebUI when connected through mcpo as a tool server

Its just a small typo but it leads to errors... can someone fix it?
