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](/integrations/anthropic), it gives the AI agent web access for research and content generation.

## Configuration

Navigate to **Settings** → **Integrations** → **Add Integration** → **Firecrawl**.

### Form Fields

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

<Note>
  Leave the Base URL blank to use the default Firecrawl API (`api.firecrawl.dev`). Only specify a custom URL if you're using a self-hosted Firecrawl instance.
</Note>

## Available Tools

When Firecrawl is configured, the following tools become available to the AI agent:

| Tool         | Description                                              |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `scrape_url` | Scrapes a URL and returns its content as clean markdown  |
| `search_web` | Searches the web and returns relevant URLs with snippets |

## How It Enhances the AI Agent

When both Firecrawl and [Anthropic](/integrations/anthropic) integrations are configured, the AI agent gains powerful web capabilities:

### Web Research

| Capability               | Description                                                         |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Search the web**       | Find current information, news, and trends relevant to your content |
| **Extract content**      | Pull text from specific URLs for reference or inspiration           |
| **Competitive research** | Analyze competitor websites and content                             |

### Blog Content Creation

With web access, the AI can:

* Research topics thoroughly before writing
* Include up-to-date information and statistics
* Reference and link to authoritative sources
* Verify facts against current web content

### Email Marketing

Enhance email content with:

* Current industry trends and news
* Product information from your website
* Competitive positioning insights

## Prerequisites

Before configuring Firecrawl:

1. **Firecrawl Account**: Create an account at [firecrawl.dev](https://firecrawl.dev)
2. **API Key**: Generate an API key from the Firecrawl dashboard
3. **Credits**: Ensure your account has sufficient API credits

## Usage Notes

<Warning>
  Each web search or URL scrape counts toward your Firecrawl API quota. Monitor your usage in the Firecrawl dashboard to manage costs.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  The AI agent will automatically use these tools when web access is needed. For best results, ensure your Firecrawl plan has sufficient credits for your expected usage.
