firecrawl-cli

name	firecrawl-cli
description	Lightweight Firecrawl web scrape/search/map via pi-firecrawl CLI. Use for web scraping, Firecrawl search, page extraction, sitemap URL discovery, or structured page data when MCP tool schemas are too token-heavy.

Firecrawl CLI

Use bash CLI. Do not call Firecrawl MCP tools directly unless CLI fails.

Commands

pi-firecrawl scrape <url> --format markdown
pi-firecrawl scrape <url> --format json --prompt 'extract prices' --schema '{"type":"object"}'
pi-firecrawl search '<query>' --limit 5
pi-firecrawl search '<query>' --limit 5 --scrape
pi-firecrawl map <url> --search 'webhook docs' --limit 20
pi-firecrawl extract <url> --prompt 'extract product details' --schema '{"type":"object"}'

Rules

• Specific fields/data → --format json with schema.
• Full page/article → --format markdown.
• Unknown URL → search first, then scrape selected URL.
• SPA empty result → retry scrape --wait 5000, then map --search, then search.
• Output can be large. Use low --limit and focused prompts.
