firecrawl-scrape is a Claude Code skill that scrapes public URLs or search queries through Firecrawl MCP and returns LLM-ready markdown, HTML, or plain text for developers who need clean web content inside agent sessions
About
firecrawl-scrape is a Claude Code skill in parcadei/continuous-claude-v3 that runs a Python harness against Firecrawl MCP to scrape pages or run web searches on demand. Developers pass `--url` for a direct page or `--search` for query-based retrieval, then choose `--format` as markdown (default), html, or text. The workflow uses `uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py` with Bash and Read tools, making it suited when agents need structured page content for RAG, docs ingestion, or competitive research without hand-writing scrapers.
- Converts any URL into clean markdown optimized for LLMs
- Handles JavaScript-rendered pages and paywalls via Firecrawl
- Returns structured data when schema is provided
- Built for agentic workflows that need fresh web content
- Zero browser management - pure API integration
