Skills MCP Server by firecrawl

Firecrawl Skills

The full catalog of Firecrawl skills for AI coding agents, following the Agent Skills format. Available as a plugin for Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex.

This repository is a distribution catalog. Every directory under skills/ is a CI-synced mirror. Install skills from here; contribute skill changes at the source repository. Repository-level metadata is maintained here.

Install

npx skills add firecrawl/skills

Without -y this opens an interactive picker over the whole catalog. Install a specific skill by name (names are path-independent):

npx skills add firecrawl/skills --skill firecrawl-build

For CLI onboarding (installs the Firecrawl CLI plus the core skills, with optional workflow skills):

npx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init

Catalog layout

Category	Path	What it's for	Source of truth
Core	skills/core/	The Firecrawl primitives for live web work during an agent session (search, scrape, crawl, interact — via the CLI or MCP), plus the research paper index and developer index skills	firecrawl/cli
Build	skills/build/	Integrating Firecrawl APIs into product code: SDKs, REST, endpoint selection, API keys	firecrawl/firecrawl (skills/)
Workflows	skills/workflows/	End-to-end session recipes: lead gen, deep research, SEO audit, knowledge bases, and more	firecrawl/firecrawl-workflows

Contributing: where does my PR go?

• Core skills, including the research and developer index skills → PR firecrawl/cli.
• Build/SDK skills → PR firecrawl/firecrawl (skills/).
• Workflow skills → PR firecrawl/firecrawl-workflows.

Do not submit changes to files under skills/ in this catalog. CI replaces those directories during the next source sync. Repository-level metadata is maintained here.

Skills

Core (skills/core/)

Skills that teach agents the Firecrawl CLI for live web work — firecrawl, firecrawl-scrape, firecrawl-search, firecrawl-crawl, firecrawl-map, firecrawl-interact, firecrawl-agent, firecrawl-monitor, firecrawl-parse, firecrawl-download — plus the index skills backing the firecrawl research and firecrawl developer commands:

Skill	Description
firecrawl-research-index	Find papers in the research paper index — biomedical and life-science literature (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv) plus arXiv preprints
firecrawl-developer-index	Answer developer questions from issues, pull requests, READMEs, and documentation pages

Build (skills/build/)

Skill	Description
firecrawl-build	Firecrawl application API umbrella skill
firecrawl-build-onboarding	Get FIRECRAWL_API_KEY into a project and choose the right SDK/docs
firecrawl-build-scrape	Integrate /scrape for single-page extraction
firecrawl-build-search	Integrate /search for discovery-first workflows
firecrawl-build-interact	Integrate /interact for clicks, forms, and dynamic flows after scrape

Workflows (skills/workflows/)

End-to-end recipes such as firecrawl-lead-gen, firecrawl-deep-research, firecrawl-seo-audit, firecrawl-competitive-intel, and more — see skills/workflows/ for the full set, and firecrawl-workflows for the umbrella skill and authoring guide.

MCP Server

The plugin includes Firecrawl MCP configuration for the official Firecrawl MCP server, so editors that support bundled MCP metadata can wire Firecrawl tools with FIRECRAWL_API_KEY.

Plugins

This repo serves as a plugin for multiple platforms, bundling the core and build skills (workflows are session recipes, not editor-integration material):

• Claude Code - .claude-plugin/
• Cursor - .cursor-plugin/
• OpenAI Codex - .codex-plugin/

Prerequisites

• A Firecrawl account or self-hosted Firecrawl deployment
• API key stored in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY for cloud usage

Get your API key at firecrawl.dev/app. If you do not have one yet, firecrawl-build-onboarding includes the browser authorization flow.

Which skills do I need?

• "Search/scrape the web for me right now, during this session" → core skills (skills/core/)
• "Query published research papers or developer docs indexes" → index skills (skills/core/)
• "Add Firecrawl to this codebase" → build skills (skills/build/)
• "Run an end-to-end task like lead gen or deep research" → workflow skills (skills/workflows/)

Both usage paths follow Firecrawl's onboarding skill (same install, different use cases): firecrawl.dev/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md.
