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 Shell Scripts

Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output.

Use shell scripts for small local automations that need one or more integration calls. 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 Shell Scripts
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.
