Bring web content into your app
When your application needs content from a known URL, use the build skills to help your coding agent implement Firecrawl scraping.
Overview
Firecrawl Skills gives coding agents guidance for integrating Firecrawl’s API into application code. Describe what your product needs to do; the build skills help the agent choose an endpoint, set up authentication, connect the SDK, and run a smoke test. In Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, the agent can select a relevant skill automatically, or you can choose one explicitly. The research-index skill supports literature work: finding papers, reading relevant passages, and following citations.
Use Cases
Build search into a product
For a feature that starts with a question rather than a URL, use the search integration guidance to retrieve relevant web pages from application code.
Read content that needs page interaction
When fetching a page alone is insufficient, use the interaction integration guidance to add page actions before extracting the content your app needs.
Trace the literature behind a question
Use the research-index skill to find scientific papers, read relevant passages, and follow citations through the Research Index.
Components
The Codex plugin includes firecrawl-alexandria; the Claude Code plugin does not. You can also select that skill through Skills CLI, including when installing skills for Cursor.

Install
The firecrawl-skills marketplace distributes the firecrawl plugin, which bundles core and build skills with MCP configuration for editors that support it. The Firecrawl CLI method installs build skills separately, without installing the plugin or its bundled MCP configuration. Cloud application integrations need FIRECRAWL_API_KEY in the project. The bundled MCP configuration reads that key from the editor’s environment.
Claude Code
Install the firecrawl plugin in a local Claude Code session. Its Claude Code manifest does not include firecrawl-alexandria. Cloud sessions do not load locally installed plugins.
- 01
Add the firecrawl-skills marketplace from the Firecrawl repository.
Run in Claude Code chat/plugin marketplace add firecrawl/skills - 02
Open the firecrawl plugin’s installation panel, choose user, project or local scope, and install it.
Run in Claude Code chat/plugin install firecrawl@firecrawl-skills - 03
Follow the install panel’s activation or reload message. Type a slash in chat and look for Firecrawl skills under the plugin’s name.
This opens a picker over Firecrawl’s skill catalog and installs selected skills into the current project by default. It does not install the plugin or its bundled MCP configuration. The picker includes firecrawl-alexandria.
- 04
Run the catalog installer from your project folder with npm available. This command targets Claude Code; select the skills you need in the picker.
Run in your project terminalnpx skills add firecrawl/skills -a claude-code - 05
Start a Claude Code session in that project. Type a slash in chat and look for the Firecrawl skills you selected.
This installs the build skills globally for detected coding editors, including Claude Code. It does not add the research-index or Alexandria skills, or the plugin’s MCP configuration.

If Firecrawl CLI is not installed, install it from a terminal with npm available.
Run in your terminalnpm install -g firecrawl-cli@latest - 05
Install the build skills.
Run in your terminalfirecrawl setup build - 06
Start a Claude Code session. Type a slash in chat and look for the installed Firecrawl build skills.
As checked on November 3, 2026, Cursor Marketplace did not list firecrawl/skills, and Cursor’s plugin documentation gives no way to add a GitHub repository as a plugin outside a Teams or Enterprise team marketplace.
