This plugin connects Claude Code to Firecrawl, an external web-data service, by installing its command-line tool as a skill. It lets Claude search the web, scrape individual pages into clean markdown, map the URLs on a site, crawl whole sites, and drive a remote browser session to interact with pages. Setup requires installing the Firecrawl CLI globally and authenticating either through a browser login or an API key. Results are written to a local project folder so that Claude's context window stays uncluttered.
