Description

The Firecrawl plugin page on Claude lists the following commands under "How to use":

After installing, run /firecrawl:setup to configure your API key. Then use these commands to get started:

  • /firecrawl:scrape — Extract a single webpage as clean markdown.
  • /firecrawl:crawl — Crawl and extract content from an entire website.
  • /firecrawl:search — Search the web and get scraped results.
  • /firecrawl:map — Discover all URLs on a site.
  • /firecrawl:agent — Describe what data you need and let the AI agent autonomously find and extract it.

None of these commands exist in the plugin (v1.0.3). The plugin actually provides:

  • /firecrawl — the skill that teaches Claude to use the firecrawl CLI
  • /firecrawl:skill-gen — generates agent skills from documentation URLs

There is no /firecrawl:setup command. Authentication is handled by the CLI itself (firecrawl login --browser or the FIRECRAWL_API_KEY env var).

The listed commands (scrape, crawl, search, map, agent) are CLI subcommands, not plugin slash commands. The plugin's skill instructs Claude to call these via the CLI (e.g., firecrawl scrape <url>), but they aren't available as /firecrawl:* commands.

This is confusing for new users who install the plugin and immediately try /firecrawl:setup with nothing happening.
