firecrawl

A command-line tool for searching websites, downloading pages, and turning web content into clean Markdown. Markdown is plain text formatted with simple symbols.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search the web, scrape pages, crawl documentation, download site content, or work with a specific URL.
Why use it?
It saves time when online information must be found and prepared for an agent to read, instead of copied manually from web pages.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

firecrawl scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Firecrawl CLI

Search, scrape, and interact with the web. Returns clean markdown optimized for LLM context windows.

Run firecrawl --help or firecrawl <command> --help for full option details.

If the task is to integrate Firecrawl into an application, add FIRECRAWL_API_KEY to a project, or choose endpoint usage in product code, use the firecrawl-build skills. If the task is an outcome workflow such as deep research, SEO audit, QA, lead generation, knowledge-base creation, dashboard reporting, shopping research, or website design-system extraction, use the firecrawl-workflows skills. They are already installed alongside this CLI skill when you run firecrawl init.

Prerequisites

Must be installed and authenticated. Check with firecrawl --status.

  🔥 firecrawl cli v1.8.0

  ● Authenticated via FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
  Concurrency: 0/100 jobs (parallel scrape limit)
  Credits: 500,000 remaining
  • Concurrency: Max parallel jobs. Run parallel operations up to this limit.
  • Credits: Remaining API credits. Each operation consumes credits.

If not ready, see rules/install.md. For output handling guidelines, see rules/security.md.

Before doing real work, verify the setup with one small request:

mkdir -p .firecrawl
firecrawl scrape "https://firecrawl.dev" -o .firecrawl/install-check.md
firecrawl search "query" --scrape --limit 3

Workflow

Follow this escalation pattern:

  1. Search - No specific URL yet. Find pages, answer questions, discover sources.
  2. Scrape - Have a URL. Extract its content directly.
  3. Map + Scrape - Large site or need a specific subpage. Use map --search to find the right URL, then scrape it.
  4. Crawl - Need bulk content from an entire site section (e.g., all /docs/).
  5. Interact - Scrape first, then interact with the page (pagination, modals, form submissions, multi-step navigation).
Need Command When
Find pages on a topic search No specific URL yet
Get a page's content scrape Have a URL, page is static or JS-rendered
Find URLs within a site map Need to locate a specific subpage
Bulk extract a site section crawl Need many pages (e.g., all /docs/)
AI-powered data extraction agent Need structured data from complex sites
Interact with a page scrape + interact Content requires clicks, form fills, pagination, or login
Download a site to files download Save an entire site as local files
Parse a local file parse File on disk (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, etc.) — not a URL
Watch pages for changes monitor Schedule recurring scrapes/crawls, diff against snapshots

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

firecrawl is a skill published in the GitHub repository CraftOS-dev/CraftBot (376 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 3,065 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
