Best use case
firecrawl-scrape is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Scrape web pages and extract content via Firecrawl MCP
Teams using firecrawl-scrape should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Firecrawl Scrape Skill
## When to Use
- Scrape content from any URL
- Extract structured data from web pages
- Search the web and get content

uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py \
--url "https://example.com" \
--format "markdown"
```
### Parameters
- `--url`: URL to scrape
- `--format`: Output format - `markdown`, `html`, `text` (default: markdown)
- `--search`: (alternative) Search query instead of direct URL
### Examples
```bash
# Scrape a page
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py \
--url "https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html"
# Search and scrape
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py \
--search "Python asyncio best practices 2024"
```
