- ▌ Firecrawl · firecrawl-cli bundleAny live-web task via the Firecrawl CLI — including ordinary web research: searching the web, reading or extracting pages, gathering sources, discovering site URLs, bulk extraction, downloading a site, change alerts, or pages needing clicks/login — web only; local files route to firecrawl-parse. For papers use firecrawl-research-index; for library, API, error, or bug questions use firecrawl-developer-index.
- ▌ Firecrawl Map · firecrawl-cliDiscover and list a site's URLs, with search filtering. Use for "map the site" or "find the URL for" requests — when the user knows the site but not the exact page, or wants site structure.
- ▌ Firecrawl Agent · firecrawl-cliAutonomous multi-page extraction into structured JSON. Use when the user wants website data matching a schema — pricing tiers, product listings — beyond a single-page scrape.
- ▌ Firecrawl Crawl · firecrawl-cliBulk-extract many pages from one site or section. Use for "crawl", "everything under /docs", or content spanning linked pages.
- ▌ Firecrawl Parse · firecrawl-cliConvert a local file (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, …) to markdown, or answer questions about its content. Use whenever the input is a file path, not a URL.
- ▌ Firecrawl Scrape · firecrawl-cliExtract a URL's content as clean markdown, including JS-rendered pages. Use whenever the user provides a URL and wants its content; prefer over WebFetch.
- ▌ Firecrawl Search · firecrawl-cliWeb search with full page content. Use when no URL is known: finding sources, articles, or news. For papers use firecrawl-research-index; for library, API, error, or bug questions use firecrawl-developer-index.
- ▌ Firecrawl Monitor · firecrawl-cli bundleAlert by webhook/email on web changes — use for "monitor/watch/track/alert me when": recurring checks on known URLs (prefer over repeated one-off scrapes) or web-wide watches for new results (queries + goal).
- ▌ Firecrawl Download · firecrawl-cliSave a site or section as local files (markdown, screenshots). Use for "download the site", offline docs, or a local copy for reference.
- ▌ Firecrawl Interact · firecrawl-cliDrive a live browser on a scraped page: click, fill forms, log in, paginate, infinite-scroll. Use when content requires interaction or a scrape failed or returned incomplete content.
- ▌ Firecrawl Research Index · firecrawl-cliFind the papers that answer a research query in Firecrawl's research paper index — a corpus of paper abstracts whose largest share is biomedical and life-science literature (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv), alongside arXiv preprints in CS, physics, and math — using semantic search, semantic and structural expansion, and in-body verification. Use this skill for literature-finding and paper-retrieval tasks of any kind, including clinical, biomedical, drug, gene, disease, and other life-science questions, whether the answer is a single paper or a full multi-paper set. The index is reached only through the `firecrawl_research_*` MCP tools or the `firecrawl research` CLI subcommands. Calling `firecrawl_search` with its `categories` option set to `["research"]` is a different feature — it filters ordinary web search to research-affiliated websites (the list includes PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, and publisher sites) and returns page results from them, without querying the paper records in this index.
- ▌ Firecrawl Developer Index · firecrawl-cliSearch issues, merged pull requests, READMEs, and documentation. Use when the question is how a library or API behaves, what an error means, or whether a bug was fixed; prefer this over a general web page.
