Installation

3. Authenticate
Run the following to authenticate via your browser:

Or authenticate with an API key directly:

You can also set the key as an environment variable (add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc for persistence):
export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR-API-KEY
Get your free API key at: https://firecrawl.dev/app/api-keys
4. Verify Setup
firecrawl --status
You should see your authentication status, concurrency limit, and remaining credits.
Usage
Once installed, Claude Code will automatically use Firecrawl for web tasks. Just ask naturally:
Search the web:
Search for "best practices for React testing" and compile the key recommendations
Scrape a page:
Scrape https://docs.firecrawl.dev/introduction and summarize the key points
Discover site structure:
Map all URLs on https://firecrawl.dev
Research a topic:

CLI Commands
The plugin uses these Firecrawl CLI commands under the hood:

.firecrawl/search-react_server_components.json
.firecrawl/docs.github.com-actions-overview.md
.firecrawl/firecrawl.dev.md
Configuration
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
