Firecrawl provides web scraping and search capabilities that enhance the AI agent’s ability to access and process web content. When combined with the Anthropic integration, it gives the AI agent web access for research and content generation.
Configuration
Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Add Integration → Firecrawl.
| Field | Description | Example |

| API Key | Your Firecrawl API key | fc-... |
| Base URL | Custom API endpoint (optional) | https://api.firecrawl.dev |
