firecrawl-deep-research

firecrawl-deep-research is a skill for Claude Code from firecrawl/firecrawl-claude-plugin. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web-research workflow for answering questions through focused investigation and information from multiple sources. It supports comparisons, broad findings, documentation research, and research about people or businesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deep dives, comparisons, find-all lists, documentation research, prospect research, and business or contact research.
Why use it?
It helps when one search result is not enough and the answer must combine and check evidence from several sources. It avoids doing a large investigation when a quick lookup would suffice.

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-deep-research 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 today.

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.

Firecrawl Deep Research

Adapt the investigation to the question and the evidence available. This plugin uses Firecrawl's search MCP connection, not the full suite. Resolve deferred tools through the host's tool discovery when needed and follow the live schemas; use only operations exposed by this connection. Never invent tools or translate CLI flags into tool arguments.

Frame the investigation

Prefer a focused workflow when it can complete the request, such as enrich-lead for supplied people or lead CSVs, find-leads for new prospects, business-contact-research for published organizational contacts, or read-docs for official documentation. Use deep research for broader cross-source synthesis; multiple records or tool calls alone do not require it. Keep reusable evidence when switching workflows.

Invocation does not require an exhaustive investigation. Start with the smallest useful retrieval and expand only for gaps that could change the answer. Do not start paid enrichment merely because this skill is active. Use it when the requested scope and missing evidence justify it; keep simple answers simple.

Infer scope, dates, geography, audience and output; ask only for decisions that materially change the investigation. Convert relative dates to explicit bounds. For substantial investigations, briefly state the main questions, evidence routes, then begin. Revise the questions as findings reveal consequential gaps or competing explanations.

Use firecrawl_search with the actual question and its constraints to find sources, or the dedicated method below when the evidence calls for it, such as papers, code or US law. Read supplied URLs with firecrawl_scrape. Inspect relevant page results and matching capability suggestions returned by search.

When firecrawl_search exposes objective, set it to [deep-research] followed by the broader research goal, keeping that goal consistent across related searches. Keep query focused on the specific evidence needed, without the marker. Omit objective if the live schema does not support it, and avoid sensitive information in the goal.

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.
