firecrawl download

MCP note

This is a local-filesystem operation — it saves a site as files on your machine — so it runs through the firecrawl CLI rather than the bundled (hosted) Firecrawl MCP, which cannot read or write local files. Install the CLI if you haven't: npm install -g firecrawl-cli (see the firecrawl-cli skill). For fetching content into Grok's context instead of disk, use the MCP-backed firecrawl-scrape / firecrawl-crawl skills.

Experimental. Convenience command that combines map + scrape to save an entire site as local files.

Maps the site first to discover pages, then scrapes each one into nested directories under .firecrawl/. All scrape options work with download. Always pass -y to skip the confirmation prompt.

When to use

• You want to save an entire site (or section) to local files
• You need offline access to documentation or content
• Bulk content extraction with organized file structure
