Command-line interface for Firecrawl. Search, scrape, interact, crawl, map, and run agent jobs directly from your terminal.
Authentication
On first run, you'll be prompted to authenticate:
🔥 firecrawl cli
Search, scrape, and interact with the web
Welcome! To get started, authenticate with your Firecrawl account.
1. Login with browser (recommended)
2. Enter API key manually
Tip: You can also set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY environment variable
Enter choice [1/2]:Authentication Methods
# Interactive (prompts automatically when needed)
firecrawl
# Browser login
firecrawl login
# Direct API key
firecrawl login --api-key fc-your-api-key
# Environment variable
export FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=fc-your-api-key
# Per-command API key
firecrawl scrape https://example.com --api-key fc-your-api-keySelf-hosted / Local Development
For self-hosted Firecrawl instances or local development, use the --api-url option:
# Use a local Firecrawl instance (no API key required)
firecrawl --api-url http://localhost:3002 scrape https://example.com
# Or set via environment variable
export FIRECRAWL_API_URL=http://localhost:3002
firecrawl scrape https://example.com
# Self-hosted with API key
firecrawl --api-url https://firecrawl.mycompany.com --api-key fc-xxx scrape https://example.comWhen using a custom API URL (anything other than https://api.firecrawl.dev), authentication is automatically skipped, allowing you to use local instances without an API key.

The CLI collects anonymous usage data during authentication to help improve the product:
- CLI version, OS, and Node.js version
- Detect development tools (e.g., Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code)
No command data, URLs, or file contents are collected via the CLI.
To disable telemetry, set the environment variable:
export FIRECRAWL_NO_TELEMETRY=1Experimental
Experimental commands live under firecrawl experimental (alias: firecrawl x).

firecrawl x download https://docs.firecrawl.dev --include-paths "/features,/sdks" -yWorkflow Skills
The old experimental AI workflow commands have moved to the NPX-installable
firecrawl/firecrawl-workflows
skills package. Workflow skills infer from the user's request first and only ask
short clarifying questions when required inputs are missing. Install them with:
firecrawl setup workflowsDocumentation
For more details, visit the Firecrawl Documentation.
Installation
npm install -g firecrawl-cliOr set up everything in one command (install CLI globally, authenticate, and add skills across all detected coding editors):
npx -y firecrawl-cli@1.19.6 init -y --browser-yruns setup non-interactively--browseropens the browser for Firecrawl authentication automatically- skills install globally to every detected AI coding agent by default
Setup Skills, Workflows, and MCP
If you are using an AI coding agent like Claude Code, you can also install the skills manually:
firecrawl setup skills
firecrawl setup workflowsThese install globally across all detected coding editors by default. Use --agent <agent> to scope either command to one editor.
Agent skills
The init command installs all Firecrawl agent skill segments into AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, etc.):
- CLI skills — teach agents how to use the Firecrawl CLI for live web work (search, scrape, interact, map, crawl, agent)
- Build skills — teach agents how to integrate Firecrawl into application code (choose endpoints, wire SDKs, set up API keys)
- Workflow skills — teach agents how to produce Firecrawl-powered deliverables such as research briefs, SEO audits, QA reports, lead lists, knowledge bases, and design-system extraction
To reinstall skills manually:
firecrawl setup skills
firecrawl setup workflowsTo install the Firecrawl MCP server into your editors (Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, etc.):
firecrawl setup mcpTo make Firecrawl the default web provider for supported AI agents:
firecrawl setup defaults # or: firecrawl make defaultThis disables native web fetch/search where supported so agents route web work
through Firecrawl. When run interactively, it asks harness by harness (Claude
Code, Codex) so you can choose exactly which to change. Use -y to skip the
picker and apply to all, or --agent to target one:
firecrawl setup defaults --agent codex # only Codex
firecrawl setup defaults -y # all harnesses, no promptsTo undo those config changes (also interactive, harness by harness):
firecrawl setup defaults --undo # pick which to restore
firecrawl setup defaults --undo --agent claudeQuick Start
Just run a command - the CLI will prompt you to authenticate if needed:
firecrawl https://example.comOne install gets you everything — 10 skills — kept up to date together.
