Firecrawl

Research

Firecrawl turns websites into clean, structured data for AI. Developers use its API, MCP server or CLI to crawl, scrape and search the web and feed the results to agents and LLMs.

How to use Firecrawl

Call the API with a URL to scrape a page or crawl a site, or connect the MCP server to your agent. Request markdown or a JSON schema and pass the result to your model.

Best for

Feeding live web content to AI agents. Scraping sites into markdown or JSON. Building research and RAG pipelines.

How it behaves

Returns cleaned content rather than raw HTML, which cuts tokens when the output goes into an LLM.

Tips

Request only the fields you need with a schema. Crawl with limits on depth and pages. Cache results for pages that rarely change.

Pricing

Free tier with credits, then paid plans by usage. See Firecrawl's pricing page for current rates.
