minor release, 22 October 2026firecrawl_credit_usage: description and input schema changed; new arguments: bin, byEndpoint
Before (3.33.4)
Get the authenticated Firecrawl team's current credit balance or historical credit consumption. Use the current view to answer how many credits remain or to check billing-period boundaries. Use the historical view for monthly usage reporting and trend analysis.
The current view returns `remainingCredits`, `planCredits`, `billingPeriodStart`, and `billingPeriodEnd`. Extra purchased or granted credits can make `remainingCredits` greater than `planCredits`. Billing-period dates may be null when the upstream billing provider has no period metadata.
The historical view returns periods sorted by start date with `startDate`, `endDate`, and `creditsUsed`. Set `byApiKey` to include separate periods per API key, identified by the optional `apiKey` field. The newest period's `endDate` can be null.
After (3.34.0)
Get the authenticated Firecrawl team's current credit balance or its credit usage over the last 90 days. Use the current view to answer how many credits remain or to check billing-period boundaries. Use the historical view to answer what credits were spent on and when.
The current view returns `remainingCredits`, `planCredits`, `billingPeriodStart`, and `billingPeriodEnd`. Extra purchased or granted credits can make `remainingCredits` greater than `planCredits`. Billing-period dates may be null when the upstream billing provider has no period metadata.
The historical view returns periods sorted by start date with `startDate`, `endDate`, and `creditsUsed`, one per calendar month, or one per UTC day with `bin: "day"`. Set `byEndpoint` to split each period by the endpoint that used the credits (`endpoint`: scrape, search, crawl, map, agent, ...), or `byApiKey` to split it by API key (`apiKey`). The endpoint split also counts search usage, which the unsplit and per-key figures leave out, so its rows can add up to more. The newest period's `endDate` can be null. A `notice` means the requested split or daily periods are not available yet and the periods are monthly figures.
This tool cannot attribute credits to individual jobs, URLs, or MCP clients. Each tool's own result reports what that call used (`creditsUsed`, or `metadata.creditsUsed` on scrapes), and the Usage and Logs pages of the Firecrawl dashboard list usage per job.
firecrawl_gov_search: description and input schema changed; new arguments: cites, court, courtType, domain, jurisdiction
Before (3.33.4)
Search US federal, state, and local statutes, regulations, codes, court opinions, and other government publications for legal or regulatory questions that need primary text. Clarify a missing jurisdiction or ambiguous as-of date before identifying the governing rule.
Returns ranked results with a position, title, URL, and matched snippet. Results may include historical versions, bill text, agency guidance, and third-party reproductions. Verify the issuer, jurisdiction, enacted/effective status, and version before citing current governing law. Read a known URL or additional page context with firecrawl_scrape. Use general search for non-US questions or missing coverage; no hits does not establish that no applicable law exists.
After (3.34.0)
Search US federal, state, and local statutes, regulations, codes, court opinions, and other government publications for legal or regulatory questions that need primary text. Clarify a missing jurisdiction or ambiguous as-of date before identifying the governing rule.
Optional filters narrow results by jurisdiction, court, court type, cited law or case, and site. Filters keep only pages the index has labeled, so a filtered search can leave out relevant pages, and no results does not mean none exist. Court labels are most complete for federal courts and case-law collections.

firecrawl_scrape: description and input schema changed
Before (3.33.4)
Scrape one URL and return its content: markdown by default, or HTML, links, screenshots, branding data, a targeted answer, or JSON matching a supplied schema. Use it when the request identifies a page and needs its content or defined fields: the user gives a URL or names a page or PDF and wants it read or summarized, or wants prices, specs, contact details or a table from it. Use `firecrawl_search` when additional web sources are needed; on an authenticated session, `firecrawl_map` lists a site's URLs and `firecrawl_crawl` collects a set of pages.
Firecrawl may serve recently indexed content; set `maxAge: 0` for a live fetch or a smaller `maxAge` to bound staleness. A successful response does not by itself confirm the page is still current. Browser actions can change the live page when interactive actions are enabled. Authenticated responses can include a `metadata.scrapeId` for optional scrape feedback.
`firecrawl_search` and `firecrawl_find_tools` can discover providers for the same fields across several pages; a matching provider returns typed records in one call.
With `alexandria` in place of `url`, the tool runs catalogued provider capabilities instead of fetching a page. Provider discovery and execution require an API key on a team with Alexandria enabled.

firecrawl_search: description changed
Before (3.33.3)
Search web, news, or image sources and return ranked results with query-relevant highlights. Each web result is a title, URL, and description; use `firecrawl_scrape` on a result URL when the excerpt is not enough.
Authenticated search also returns matching Alexandria data providers in data.tools (companies, people, jobs, finance and filings, public records and government spending, real estate, places and restaurants, retail and prices, package registries and developer data, news, research, and more). Prefer a provider over scraping pages when the task needs the same fields across several entities, exact figures or timestamps, provenance, or many records; use web results when they already answer the question. Authenticated searches always add alexandria to the sources, so sources: ["web"] also returns providers; domainTools: false turns off website-matched tools only.
On an authenticated session, tool matches describe available capabilities; `firecrawl_find_tools` returns their contracts and `firecrawl_scrape` with an `alexandria` body executes a selected capability. Keyless sessions get no Alexandria matches in data.tools.
For a programming question, add `categories: ["developer"]`; its hits return in `data.web` with `category: "developer"`. For a legal or regulatory question, `categories: ["gov"]` returns hits in `data.web` with `category: "gov"` and cannot be combined with other categories; authenticated sessions also have `firecrawl_gov_search` as the dedicated tool. Verify gov results' issuer, jurisdiction, status, and version before citing current law. `categories: ["research"]` restricts web results to research-affiliated websites; the `firecrawl_research_*` tools are a separate surface over paper abstracts and full text (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv). Query operators, domain filters, `categories`, `toolDetail` and `scrapeOptions` are described on their parameters. Returns source-type result groups and usage metadata. Authenticated responses can include an `id` for optional search feedback.
After (3.33.4)
Search web, news, or image sources and return ranked results with query-relevant highlights. Use it for current information, or to list businesses, people, products, jobs or events with websites, prices or contacts. Each web result is a title, URL, and description; use `firecrawl_scrape` on a result URL when the excerpt is not enough.
Authenticated search also returns matching Alexandria data providers in data.tools (companies, people, jobs, finance and filings, public records and government spending, real estate, places and restaurants, retail and prices, package registries and developer data, news, research, and more).

| Tool | Description | Pin |
|---|---|---|
| firecrawl_scrape | Scrape one URL and return its content: markdown by default, or HTML, links, screenshots, branding data, a targeted answer, or JSON matching a supplied schema. Use it when the request identifies a page and needs its content or defined fields: the user gives a URL or names a page or PDF and wants it read or summarized, or wants prices, specs, contact details or a table from it. Use `firecrawl_search` when additional web sources are needed; on an authenticated session, `firecrawl_map` lists a site's URLs and `firecrawl_crawl` collects a set of pages. Firecrawl may serve recently indexed content; set `maxAge: 0` for a live fetch or a smaller `maxAge` to bound staleness. A successful response does not by itself confirm the page is still current. Browser actions can change the live page when interactive actions are enabled. Authenticated responses can include a `metadata.scrapeId` for optional scrape feedback. On an authenticated session, `firecrawl_search` and `firecrawl_find_tools` can discover providers for the same fields across several pages; a matching provider returns typed records in one call. With `alexandria` in place of `url`, the tool runs catalogued provider capabilities instead of fetching a page. Some providers require accepted terms; when a response reports a terms requirement, direct the user to the Firecrawl dashboard URL in that response. | d37ebc978230 |
| firecrawl_map | Enumerate URLs indexed under one website through Firecrawl without fetching each page's content. Use this when the request asks for a site's URL inventory, when several relevant pages must be located, or when the desired page URL is unknown. An optional `search` term narrows the URL list, while sitemap, subdomain, query-parameter, and result-limit options control coverage. Returns matching URLs rather than page bodies. Retrieve one page with `firecrawl_scrape`; collect content across multiple pages with `firecrawl_crawl`. Authenticated responses can include an `id` for optional map feedback. | 6b2992a1f8f0 |
| firecrawl_search | Search web, news, or image sources and return ranked results with query-relevant highlights. Use it for current information, or to list businesses, people, products, jobs or events with websites, prices or contacts. Each web result is a title, URL, and description; use `firecrawl_scrape` on a result URL when the excerpt is not enough. Authenticated search also returns matching Alexandria data providers in data.tools (companies, people, jobs, finance and filings, public records and government spending, real estate, places and restaurants, retail and prices, package registries and developer data, news, research, and more). Prefer a provider over scraping pages when the task needs the same fields across several entities, exact figures or timestamps, provenance, or many records; use web results when they already answer the question.

Returns source-type result groups and usage metadata. Authenticated responses can include an `id` for optional search feedback. | 7ff69180c8de |
| firecrawl_find_tools | Browse Alexandria data providers and workflows or read a selected contract. Alexandria covers companies, people, jobs, finance and filings, public records and government spending, real estate, places and restaurants, retail and prices, package registries and developer data, news, research, and more: typed, sourced records through published contracts. Prefer normal firecrawl_search for a data task; it already returns matching providers. Use this tool when the contract you need was not returned in full, to browse a category when search found nothing, or before scraping the same fields from several pages. Discovery is free. Use query for semantic discovery or urls to find providers for a website. With no arguments, browse categories, then providers and tools. Contracts describe the inputs and outputs for execution through firecrawl_scrape. nextTool identifies further discovery or pagination. Discovery does not execute providers. Use firecrawl_search when you also need web results. | a8bcc1b813ee |
| firecrawl_search_feedback | Records schema-validated quality feedback for a prior `firecrawl_search` UUID `searchId`. A `good` rating requires a valuable source, `partial` a valuable source or at least one `missingContent` entry, and `bad` at least one `missingContent` entry or a query suggestion; caps are 50 `valuableSources` and 20 `missingContent` entries. Eligibility is limited to successful searches within the feedback age window. The record is idempotent per search ID. Eligible first feedback for a search can refund 1 credit; refunds are subject to the team's daily cap. The response reports whether a refund was applied, along with submission and daily-cap status. | 166c339be6b4 |
| firecrawl_feedback | Submit concise quality feedback for a completed search, scrape, parse, or map job. Provide the endpoint, job ID, rating, and relevant issue codes or small contextual fields; omit large page contents and raw outputs. For an Alexandria session, set endpoint to `alexandria`, omit jobId, and provide requestedWebsite (url and requestedFunctionality), objective, rationale, and rating. objective is the underlying goal behind the session: what you or your user were ultimately trying to accomplish (for example, "shortlist federal IT contracts to bid on this quarter"), not only what was needed from this website. Optional providerFeedback and capabilityFeedback describe gaps or errors. Capability issues: new_capability_request (requires requestedFunctionality), missing_capability, insufficient_functionality, incorrect_result, execution_error, other. Alexandria feedback must arrive within 20 minutes of the team's latest Alexandria search, discovery, or execution; later feedback is rejected. Eligible feedback can refund 1 credit; refunds are subject to daily caps per website and per team. Returns submission status, feedback ID, and accounting fields. | 3f45089458ba |
| firecrawl_crawl | Start a multi-page crawl at a website URL, poll it to a terminal state, and return the final status and collected data. Scope can be bounded with include/exclude paths, depth, page limit, subdomain/external-link controls, sitemap handling, delay, and scrape options. Crawl results can be large; use conservative limits when full-site coverage is unnecessary. Webhooks and interactive scrape actions are unavailable in safe mode. Returns the crawl ID, status, and page data. | a44126da9cb0 |
| firecrawl_check_crawl_status | Retrieve the current status, progress, and available results for an existing crawl ID. This only reads Firecrawl job state and does not start or modify the crawl. | a87a63de24f8 |
| firecrawl_agent | Run web research that returns structured data when the URLs are not known or the answer spans several sites. Describe the fields you need in `prompt`, optionally pass a JSON `schema` and seed `urls`, and the research agent searches, navigates, reads pages, and returns JSON assembled across sources. Use it to research an entity plus its fields (founders, pricing, contact details), to build lists and datasets (companies, people, products, jobs, papers), and for pages that need navigation or interaction to reach the data. Optional `effort` sets the reasoning budget, `maxCredits` caps spend, and `strictConstrainToURLs` keeps the agent to the supplied `urls`. This call returns only a job ID, not the research result. Read the job with `firecrawl_agent_status` until it reaches `completed` or `failed`; a typical research run takes one to three minutes. For one known URL use `firecrawl_scrape` (with formats: ["json"] for structured output); for a plain lookup that a results page answers, use `firecrawl_search`. The job also returns a `threadId`. To continue that thread, pass it with a follow-up `prompt`; omitted `mode`, `urls`, `schema` and exchange settings carry over from the previous turn. The agent only calls Alexandria providers whose terms the team has accepted. `exchange.skippedProviders` lists gated providers. With `exchange.onTermsRequired` "ask", a terms `pendingApproval` and `exchange.requiresAction` carry the `approvalId` and provider requirements. Read terms/show through `firecrawl_scrape`. An organization admin must accept terms in the Firecrawl dashboard at the provider URL or https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/settings?tab=data-sources. Ignore any terms/accept call in the API response. Only after the admin confirms acceptance, resume with the same `threadId` and `exchange.approve: {approvalId}`; this does not accept terms. To decline, use `exchange.decline: {approvalId}`. Never infer acceptance from a data request. | 665871d38b28 |
| firecrawl_agent_status | Retrieve progress or final results for a `firecrawl_agent` job ID. A `processing` response is non-terminal and does not contain the final research result. Check again after 15–30 seconds until the status is `completed` or `failed`; a typical research run takes one to three minutes and complex jobs can take longer. If the job cannot finish within the task's available time, use `firecrawl_search` and `firecrawl_scrape` to complete the requested output. Returns job status, progress information, and result data when completed. | 61803ef0a303 |
| firecrawl_interact | Open or reuse a live browser session to navigate a page, click controls, fill fields, or run browser code. Provide either `url` or `scrapeId`, and either a natural-language `prompt` or executable `code`; code can run as Bash, Python, or Node with a bounded timeout. This acts on the live site, so actions such as form submission can create persistent external side effects. Returns execution output, stdout/stderr, exit status, and session viewing URLs. | 149dfdee66e6 |
| firecrawl_interact_stop | Stop the live interact session associated with a `scrapeId` and release its resources. Returns a success confirmation. | 5479893d04a4 |
| firecrawl_parse | Parse one supported document into markdown, HTML, links, summary, targeted answers, or JSON matching a schema. Supported inputs include common HTML, PDF, Word, RTF, OpenDocument, and spreadsheet files; PDF parsing can be bounded with `pdfOptions.maxPages`. Local MCP reads `filePath` from the server filesystem. Hosted MCP uses two calls: first provide `filePath` to receive upload instructions, upload locally, then call again with the returned `uploadRef`; do not send both fields together. Remote web URLs belong in `firecrawl_scrape`. Set `redactPII` to request redaction of personally identifiable information in the returned content. `zeroDataRetention` requires an eligible authenticated account; omit it for anonymous keyless use. Returns upload instructions for hosted phase one or parsed document content for the final call. Authenticated final responses can include a `data.metadata.scrapeId` for optional parse feedback. | bd240723a6f1 |
| firecrawl_monitor_create | Create a recurring scrape, crawl, or search monitor that compares each check with its retained predecessor. The simple form accepts `page`/`pages` or `queries` plus a plain-language `goal`; the advanced `body` form controls targets, schedule, change-tracking formats, judging, retention, webhook, and notifications. In the simple form, a `goal` is required. If `queries` contains one or more non-empty values and is supplied with `page`/`pages`, `queries` create the search target and page targets are ignored. A monitor schedules future network checks and can send configured email or webhook notifications. Returns the created monitor. | a87d43736527 |
| firecrawl_monitor_list | List monitors for the authenticated account with optional pagination controls. Returns one page of monitor records and pagination metadata. | ea4e32328bf0 |
| firecrawl_monitor_get | Retrieve one monitor by ID, including its configuration and current state. This does not run or modify the monitor. | 4d959cf78cb4 |
| firecrawl_monitor_update | Patch an existing monitor by ID. The body can change its name, active/paused status, schedule, targets, goal, judging, webhook, notifications, or retention; these changes affect future scheduled checks. Returns the updated monitor. | 193604cf7ca0 |
| firecrawl_monitor_delete | Permanently delete a monitor by ID and stop its future schedule. This operation cannot be undone and returns deletion status. | 1c8481ee6d95 |
| firecrawl_monitor_run | Queue an immediate check for a monitor outside its normal schedule. This starts network work for the monitor's configured targets and returns the queued check. | 340b1f848787 |
| firecrawl_monitor_checks | List historical checks for a monitor, optionally filtered by status and bounded by a result limit. Returns one page of check summaries and pagination metadata. | 62afcee6c870 |
| firecrawl_monitor_check | Retrieve one monitor check and its page-level results, optionally filtered by page status. Pages report `same`, `new`, `changed`, `removed`, or `error`; configured goal judging can add a meaningful-change decision. Markdown tracking returns a unified text diff, JSON tracking returns field paths with previous/current values and a current snapshot, and mixed tracking returns both. Returns one page of results plus a `next` URL when more pages exist. | c15d401897c9 |
| firecrawl_research_search_papers | Search paper metadata and abstracts with a natural-language query across the indexed corpus, which spans biomedical, life-science, and clinical literature (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv) alongside arXiv and other scientific sources. Optional author, category, and date filters constrain results. Several distinct framings of the same question surface different papers than a single query does. Returns ranked papers with canonical IDs, titles, authors, and abstracts. | 78b4ae800869 |
| firecrawl_research_inspect_paper | Retrieve canonical metadata for one paper ID, such as an arXiv, PMC, PMID, or DOI identifier. Returns the title, abstract, authors, categories, source IDs, and dates as markdown. | 02dda079ad03 |
| firecrawl_research_related_papers | Find citation-graph candidates from one to ten `seed_ids`; the first ID is the primary seed and later IDs are anchors. `mode` defaults to `similar` (co-citation/bibliographic coupling); `citers` returns papers citing a seed and `references` papers cited by a seed. `intent` ranks candidates. Returns ranked candidates and the evaluated pool size. | c945cb0f75b5 |
| firecrawl_research_read_paper | Retrieve in-body passages from one paper that are relevant to a specific question. Full text is available only for indexed papers; `k` controls the number of passages. Returns matching passages or a notice when full text is unavailable. | 3dd8fe2dbfe7 |
| firecrawl_developer_search | Search an index of public repositories, GitHub issues, merged pull requests, repository READMEs, and code documentation for programming questions that need external documentation or upstream evidence. Returns ranked results with an ID, source type, URL, title, and the matched passages in markdown. | b436c0df097c |
| firecrawl_gov_search | Search US federal, state, and local statutes, regulations, codes, court opinions, and other government publications for legal or regulatory questions that need primary text. Clarify a missing jurisdiction or ambiguous as-of date before identifying the governing rule. Optional filters narrow results by jurisdiction, court, court type, cited law or case, and site. Filters keep only pages the index has labeled, so a filtered search can leave out relevant pages, and no results does not mean none exist. Court labels are most complete for federal courts and case-law collections. Returns ranked results with a position, title, URL, and matched snippet. Results may include historical versions, bill text, agency guidance, and third-party reproductions. Verify the issuer, jurisdiction, enacted/effective status, and version before citing current governing law. Read a known URL or additional page context with firecrawl_scrape. Use general search for non-US questions or missing coverage; no hits does not establish that no applicable law exists. | 977669aa05f8 |
| firecrawl_credit_usage | Get the authenticated Firecrawl team's current credit balance or its credit usage over the last 90 days. Use the current view to answer how many credits remain or to check billing-period boundaries. Use the historical view to answer what credits were spent on and when. The current view returns `remainingCredits`, `planCredits`, `billingPeriodStart`, and `billingPeriodEnd`. Extra purchased or granted credits can make `remainingCredits` greater than `planCredits`. Billing-period dates may be null when the upstream billing provider has no period metadata. The historical view returns periods sorted by start date with `startDate`, `endDate`, and `creditsUsed`, one per calendar month, or one per UTC day with `bin: "day"`. Set `byEndpoint` to split each period by the endpoint that used the credits (`endpoint`: scrape, search, crawl, map, agent, ...), or `byApiKey` to split it by API key (`apiKey`). The endpoint split also counts search usage, which the unsplit and per-key figures leave out, so its rows can add up to more. The newest period's `endDate` can be null. A `notice` means the requested split or daily periods are not available yet and the periods are monthly figures. This tool cannot attribute credits to individual jobs, URLs, or MCP clients. Each tool's own result reports what that call used (`creditsUsed`, or `metadata.creditsUsed` on scrapes), and the Usage and Logs pages of the Firecrawl dashboard list usage per job. | 3aab1a1d7969 |
