| name | firecrawl-map |
| description | Discover and list all URLs on a website, with optional search filtering. Use this skill when the user wants to find a specific page on a large site, list all URLs, see the site structure, find where something is on a domain, or says "map the site", "find the URL for", "what pages are on", or "list all pages". Essential when the user knows which site but not which exact page.

firecrawl map
Via the Firecrawl MCP (preferred)
This plugin bundles the Firecrawl MCP server. When it's connected, prefer the native firecrawl_map tool over the CLI — it needs no local install and authenticates through the plugin's one-time browser sign-in. The firecrawl CLI commands below are the fallback for when the MCP isn't connected.
Discover URLs on a site. Use --search to find a specific page within a large site.
When to use
- You need to find a specific subpage on a large site
- You want a list of all URLs on a site before scraping or crawling
- Step 3 in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact
Quick start
firecrawl map "<url>" --search "authentication" -o .firecrawl/filtered.txt
firecrawl map "<url>" --limit 500 --json -o .firecrawl/urls.json
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|
--limit <n> | Max number of URLs to return |
--search <query> | Filter URLs by search query |
--sitemap <include|skip|only> | Sitemap handling strategy |
--include-subdomains | Include subdomain URLs |
--json | Output as JSON |
-o, --output <path> | Output file path |
Tips
- Map + scrape is a common pattern: use
map --search to find the right URL, then scrape it.
- Example:
map https://docs.example.com --search "auth" → found /docs/api/authentication → scrape that URL.
