Firecrawl Skills

August 21, 2026 · View on GitHub

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 repo is read-only. Every skill here is CI-synced from its source repo — see Contributing. Install from here; contribute at the source.

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

Contributing: where does my PR go?

Core skills (including the research/developer index skills) → PR firecrawl/cli. Build/SDK skills → PR the firecrawl monorepo (skills/). Workflow skills → PR firecrawl/firecrawl-workflows. Never PR this catalog — CI overwrites every directory on the next sync.

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:

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

Build (skills/build/)

SkillDescription
firecrawl-buildFirecrawl application API umbrella skill
firecrawl-build-onboardingGet FIRECRAWL_API_KEY into a project and choose the right SDK/docs
firecrawl-build-scrapeIntegrate /scrape for single-page extraction
firecrawl-build-searchIntegrate /search for discovery-first workflows
firecrawl-build-interactIntegrate /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.
