firecrawl-crawlBulk-extract many pages from one site or section. Use for "crawl", "everything under /docs", or content spanning linked pages. - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)
firecrawl-developer-indexSearch issues, merged pull requests, READMEs, and documentation. Use when the question is how a library or API behaves, what an error means, or whether a bug was fixed; prefer this over a general web page.
firecrawl-downloadSave a site or section as local files (markdown, screenshots). Use for "download the site", offline docs, or a local copy for reference. - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)

firecrawl-mapDiscover and list a site's URLs, with search filtering. Use for "map the site" or "find the URL for" requests — when the user knows the site but not the exact page, or wants site structure. - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)
firecrawl-monitorAlert by webhook/email on web changes — use for "monitor/watch/track/alert me when": recurring checks on known URLs (prefer over repeated one-off scrapes) or web-wide watches for new results (queries + goal). - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)
firecrawl-parseConvert a local file (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, …) to markdown, or answer questions about its content. Use whenever the input is a file path, not a URL. - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)
firecrawl-research-indexFind the papers that answer a research query in Firecrawl's research paper index — a corpus of paper abstracts whose largest share is biomedical and life-science literature (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv), alongside arXiv preprints in CS, physics, and math — using semantic search, semantic and structural
firecrawl-scrapeExtract a URL's content as clean markdown, including JS-rendered pages. Use whenever the user provides a URL and wants its content; prefer over WebFetch. - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)
firecrawl-searchWeb search with full page content. Use when no URL is known: finding sources, articles, or news. For papers use firecrawl-research-index; for library, API, error, or bug questions use firecrawl-developer-index. - Bash(firecrawl *) - Bash(npx firecrawl-cli *)
firecrawlAny live-web task via the Firecrawl CLI — including ordinary web research: searching the web, reading or extracting pages, gathering sources, discovering site URLs, bulk extraction, downloading a site, change alerts, or pages needing clicks/login — web only; local files route to firecrawl-parse.
