Firecrawl Extension for Claude SEO

This skill requires the Firecrawl extension to be installed:

./extensions/firecrawl/install.sh

Check availability: Before using any Firecrawl tool, verify the MCP server is connected by checking if firecrawl_scrape or any Firecrawl tool is available. If tools are not available, inform the user the extension is not installed and provide install instructions.

Quick Reference

Command	Purpose
/seo firecrawl crawl <url>	Full-site crawl with content extraction
/seo firecrawl map <url>	Discover site structure (URLs only, fast)
/seo firecrawl scrape <url>	Single-page scrape with JS rendering
/seo firecrawl search <query> <url>	Search within a crawled site

Commands

crawl -- Full-Site Crawl

Crawl an entire website starting from the given URL. Returns page content, metadata, and links for all discovered pages.

MCP Tool: firecrawl_crawl

Parameters:

• url (required): Starting URL to crawl
• limit: Max pages to crawl (default: 100, max: 500)
• maxDepth: Max link depth from start URL (default: 3)
• includePaths: Array of glob patterns to include (e.g., ["/blog/*"])
• excludePaths: Array of glob patterns to exclude (e.g., ["/admin/*", "/api/*"])
• scrapeOptions.formats: Output formats -- ["markdown", "html", "links"]

SEO Usage Patterns:

1. Comprehensive audit crawl: Crawl full site, extract all pages for subagent analysis
2. Section-focused crawl: Use includePaths to audit only /blog/* or /products/*
3. Broken link detection: Crawl with ["links"] format, check all hrefs for 404s
4. Content inventory: Extract all page titles, meta descriptions, H1s at scale
5. SPA/JS-rendered sites: Firecrawl renders JavaScript, solving the Issue #11 problem
