Top Scraped Domains (by frequency)

Domain	Pattern
`arxiv.org`	Papers (PDF + abs pages)
`github.com`	Repos, READMEs, specific files
`skills.sh`	Skill registry
`clockssugars.blog`	Applied category theory
`soft-machine.io`	Project docs

Common Workflows

1. Research Pipeline (co-occurs with exa + deepwiki)

exa web_search → find URLs
  → firecrawl scrape → extract full content
    → deepwiki ask_question → cross-reference with repo docs

2. Paper Reading

firecrawl_scrape(url: "https://arxiv.org/pdf/XXXX.XXXXX")

3. Documentation Extraction

firecrawl_scrape(url: "https://docs.example.com/api")

4. Site Discovery

firecrawl_map(url: "https://example.com")
  → firecrawl_scrape (targeted pages)

Co-occurrence Patterns

firecrawl + exa (3 sessions): Search then scrape
firecrawl + exa + deepwiki (3 sessions): Full research pipeline
firecrawl + exa + tree-sitter (2 sessions): Scrape + code analysis
firecrawl standalone (4 sessions): Direct URL scraping

When to Use Firecrawl vs Other Tools

Need	Use
Specific URL content	`firecrawl_scrape`
Web search + content	`firecrawl_search` or `exa web_search`
GitHub repo docs	`deepwiki ask_question` (faster, free)
Simple page fetch	`WebFetch` (built-in, no MCP needed)
Full site crawl	`firecrawl_crawl` (async, check status)
