Firecrawl Skills

A collection of skills for AI coding agents following the Agent Skills format. Available as a plugin for Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex.

This repo is the app-integration counterpart to firecrawl/cli.

• Use this repo when an agent is building a product that calls Firecrawl APIs.
• Use firecrawl/cli when an agent needs better web access during its own work: search the web, scrape pages, crawl docs, or interact with live sites from the terminal.

Install

One command installs both the CLI skills and these build skills:

npx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init --all --browser

Or install just this repo's skills directly:

npx skills add firecrawl/skills

Available Skills

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

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:

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

Editing Skills

All current skills in this repo are authored here and can be edited directly in this repo.

If Firecrawl later syncs skills from other repos, that distinction should be documented here and in AGENTS.md.

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 already have an API key, use firecrawl-build-onboarding in this repo. It includes the browser authorization flow directly and does not require the website onboarding skill.

Relationship To The CLI Repo

Both repos are installed by the same command:

npx -y firecrawl-cli@latest init --all --browser

This installs the Firecrawl CLI, the CLI skills (for live web work), and these build skills (for app integration) together. The difference is what you use after install:

• CLI skills (firecrawl/cli) — for searching the web, scraping pages, interacting with live sites during the current session
• Build skills (this repo) — for integrating Firecrawl into application code

The build skills here focus on:

• getting an API key into .env
• choosing fresh project vs existing project flow
• choosing the right endpoint
• asking what Firecrawl should do in the product
• wiring SDKs or REST calls into code
• inspecting an existing repo before integrating
• running a smoke test so the integration is proven, not just written
• avoiding CLI-only guidance when the real task is product integration

Default build flow:

1. decide whether the project is fresh or existing
2. ask what Firecrawl should do in the product
3. route to /scrape, /search, or /interact
4. integrate using the project's existing conventions
5. verify one real Firecrawl request succeeds

Source Of Truth

This repo follows the same two usage paths described in Firecrawl's onboarding skill (same install, different use cases):

• Path A: live web tools during the current session (CLI skills)
• Path B: integrate Firecrawl into application code (build skills)

The onboarding source lives at:

• firecrawl-web/public/agent-onboarding/SKILL.md
