firecrawl-axi

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Use firecrawl-axi for web data tasks - scraping pages, searching the web and developer/research indexes, crawling sites, parsing local documents, running async research agents, and managing change monitors - instead of calling the Firecrawl MCP server or REST API directly.

firecrawl-axi

Agent-ergonomic CLI over the hosted Firecrawl MCP server. TOON output, pre-computed counts, truncation with

--full

, structured errors, and

help[]

next steps on every result.

When to use

Read one known page →
```
firecrawl-axi scrape <url>
```
(add
```
--query "..."
```
for a targeted answer, or
```
--prompt
```
/
```
--schema
```
for structured extraction)
Find sources →
```
firecrawl-axi search "<query>"
```
; add
```
--category developer
```
for coding questions,
```
--category research
```
for literature-affiliated sites

List a site's URLs →

firecrawl-axi map <url> --search "<term>"

Collect many pages →
```
firecrawl-axi crawl <url> --limit N
```
(bounded crawls need no confirmation; unbounded crawls add
```
--confirm
```
)
Local PDF/DOCX/XLSX/HTML →
```
firecrawl-axi parse <file>
```
Programming answers →
```
firecrawl-axi dev-search "<question>"
```

Papers (PubMed/arXiv/bioRxiv/medRxiv) →

firecrawl-axi papers search|read|inspect|related

Long multi-source research (paid, async) →

firecrawl-axi agent start --prompt "..." --confirm

then

firecrawl-axi agent status <id>

Watch pages/sites/queries for changes →
```
firecrawl-axi monitors ...
```
(writes need
```
--confirm
```
; delete is irreversible)

Auth

Optional.

FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

unlocks everything; without it, keyless daily limits cover

search

,

scrape

, and

parse

.

Invocation

Installed globally:

firecrawl-axi <command>

. Otherwise run on demand:

npx -y firecrawl-axi@latest <command>

. Both are identical.

Conventions

Default output is compact TOON; pass
```
--json
```
for machine-readable JSON.
Large fields are truncated with size hints; pass
```
--full
```
for complete text.
Empty results print explicit
```
0 results
```
-style markers, never blank output.
Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage/validation/missing
```
--confirm
```
, 1 runtime or API failure. Errors carry
```
error
```
/
```
code
```
/
```
help[]
```
.

Prefer this CLI over the Firecrawl MCP server: same backend, fewer tokens, no schema overhead, and shell composability (

| grep

,

| head

).
