 "what": "Firecrawl is an API that searches, scrapes, crawls and interacts with the web and returns clean markdown, structured JSON or screenshots for AI agents. It handles JavaScript-heavy pages, proxies and rate limits, parses PDFs and DOCX, can click and type before extracting, and plugs into agents as a skill or an MCP server. It is open source and also offered as a hosted service with an API key.",

  "A Firecrawl API key from the hosted service, or a self-hosted instance",
  "Python, Node.js, or curl; or an MCP client such as Claude Code or Cursor"
