firecrawl crawl

Via the Firecrawl MCP (preferred)

This plugin bundles the Firecrawl MCP server. When it's connected, prefer the native firecrawl_crawl tool over the CLI (and firecrawl_check_crawl_status to poll an async crawl) — it needs no local install and authenticates through the plugin's one-time browser sign-in. The firecrawl CLI commands below are the fallback for when the MCP isn't connected.

Bulk extract content from a website. Crawls pages following links up to a depth/limit.

When to use

• You need content from many pages on a site (e.g., all /docs/)
• You want to extract an entire site section
• Step 4 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact

Quick start

# Crawl a docs section
firecrawl crawl "<url>" --include-paths /docs --limit 50 --wait -o .firecrawl/crawl.json
