Can I use Firecrawl as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Firecrawl CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Firecrawl through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Firecrawl tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Firecrawl credentials stored?

Firecrawl credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Firecrawl MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Firecrawl CLI for Headless Automation

Use KosmoKrator as a non-interactive integration runtime for local automations and wrappers.

Use headless automation when another tool needs a stable local command surface. The Firecrawl CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Firecrawl CLI for Headless Automation
kosmokrator integrations:configure firecrawl --set api_key="$FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call firecrawl.firecrawl_scrape '{"url":"example_url","formats":"example_formats","onlyMainContent":true,"includeTags":"example_includeTags","excludeTags":"example_excludeTags","waitFor":1,"timeout":1,"actions":"example_actions"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Firecrawl docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs firecrawl --json
kosmo integrations:docs firecrawl.firecrawl_scrape --json
kosmo integrations:schema firecrawl.firecrawl_scrape --json
kosmo integrations:search "Firecrawl" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Firecrawl CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`firecrawl.firecrawl_scrape`	Read	url, formats, onlyMainContent, includeTags, excludeTags, waitFor, timeout, actions	Scrape a single URL and extract its content. Returns the page content in the requested format (markdown by default). Supports actions like waiting for JavaScript, taking screenshots, and extracting specific elements.
`firecrawl.firecrawl_crawl`	Read	url, limit, maxDepth, formats, excludePaths, includePaths, allowBackwardLinks, allowExternalLinks, onlyMainContent	Start a crawl job to scrape all pages from a website starting at the given URL. Returns a crawl job ID — use firecrawl_get_crawl_status to check progress and retrieve results.
`firecrawl.firecrawl_get_crawl_status`	Read	id	Check the status and retrieve results of a crawl job. Returns the current status (scraping, completed, failed, cancelled) and all scraped data once complete.
`firecrawl.firecrawl_map`	Read	url, limit, includeSubdomains, search, ignoreSitemap, includePaths, excludePaths	Map a website to discover all linked URLs. Returns a list of all URLs found on the site without scraping full content. Useful for understanding site structure before crawling.
`firecrawl.firecrawl_extract`	Read	urls, prompt, schema, systemPrompt, allowExternalLinks, enableWebSearch, includeSubdomains	Extract structured data from one or more URLs using AI. Provide a prompt describing what to extract, or a JSON schema for the expected output format. Ideal for pulling specific data points from web pages.
`firecrawl.firecrawl_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the authenticated user's account information, including plan details and usage statistics. Useful for verifying API key validity and checking remaining credits.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
