Firecrawl for Claude Code
Search the web, read source pages, retrieve structured data, and research developer documentation, government publications, and scientific papers using Firecrawl's hosted MCP tools.
This plugin includes three skills: firecrawl, firecrawl-developer-index,
and firecrawl-research-index. It connects to Firecrawl's hosted MCP server
(configured in .mcp.json). Connect your Firecrawl account through Claude
Code's /mcp menu before using the tools.
Install
In Claude Code, open /plugin, search for firecrawl, and install it.
The official marketplace controls which release is available there.
You can also add this repository directly as a marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add firecrawl/firecrawl-claude-plugin
/plugin install firecrawl@firecrawl
Choose one installation of Firecrawl. If switching from the official marketplace
to this repository, disable the previous Firecrawl plugin first. After an
update, run /reload-plugins or start a new session, then use /mcp to complete
the account connection.
Upgrading from 1.x
Version 2.0.0 connects to Firecrawl's hosted MCP server instead of the Firecrawl
CLI. You no longer need to install or authenticate the CLI for this plugin;
connect your account with /mcp instead.
The CLI skills (map, crawl, interact, monitor, agent, parse, download and the other CLI commands) are no longer part of this plugin. To keep using them, install them from the CLI's own skill distribution, either with:
npx skills add firecrawl/cli
or as a Claude Code plugin from the Firecrawl skills catalog:
/plugin marketplace add firecrawl/skills
/plugin install firecrawl@firecrawl-skills
The CLI skills and this plugin both include skills named firecrawl,
firecrawl-developer-index and firecrawl-research-index. The CLI versions run
CLI commands and the versions here call MCP tools. If you install both, Claude
Code lists both.
Use
- Find recent sources on a topic and summarize them with citations.
- Read a supplied webpage and extract the requested information.
- Research a programming question using indexed repositories and documentation.
- Find scientific papers and read passages relevant to a question.
- Search US government publications and retrieve structured provider data.
The skills report connection and authentication failures so you can reconnect
through /mcp.
