What it does

Firecrawl is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Scrape and crawl websites with Firecrawl: scrape a page, start a crawl, check crawl status, map a site, search the web. Trigger phrases: firecrawl, scrape website.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/firecrawl.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with Firecrawl. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: firecrawl
  • Tasks that involve Web scraping

Example prompts

  • “/firecrawl”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Firecrawl bills per page or request in credits: confirm the URL and scope with the user before scrape, crawl, map, or search, unless…
  2. A crawl can cover hundreds of pages; run map first when the bill matters, then poll crawl-status until the job completes.
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Firecrawl loads about 557 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~557

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Firecrawl

Purpose

Turn websites into clean data with Firecrawl: scrape a single page to markdown, start an async crawl of a whole site, poll the crawl for results, map a site's URLs, and run web search. Use when the user mentions Firecrawl or asks to scrape a website.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/firecrawl.py:

bash
bin/firecrawl.py auth                                 # verify the API key (costs one map call)
bin/firecrawl.py scrape --url "https://example.com"   # scrape one page to markdown
bin/firecrawl.py crawl --url "https://example.com"    # start a crawl; returns a job id
bin/firecrawl.py crawl-status --id "abc123"           # poll a crawl job
bin/firecrawl.py map --url "https://example.com"      # list URLs on a site
bin/firecrawl.py search --query "ai pricing pages"    # web search

Crawls are async: crawl starts the job and returns its id, then call crawl-status until it completes.

Auth

  • Provider id: firecrawl (credential is collected as custom.firecrawl)
  • Collection: API key (fc-...) via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in the Firecrawl dashboard
  • Allowed hosts: api.firecrawl.dev
  • Status check: bin/firecrawl.py auth (maps https://example.com; costs one credit)

Operating Rules

  1. Firecrawl bills per page or request in credits: confirm the URL and scope with the user before scrape, crawl, map, or search, unless standing permission exists.
  2. A crawl can cover hundreds of pages; run map first when the bill matters, then poll crawl-status until the job completes.
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
