## What it does

The skill runs `scripts/mcp/firecrawl_scrape.py` with `uv run python -m runtime.harness`. Pass a page URL and, if needed, choose `markdown`, `html`, or `text` as the output format. Markdown is used when no format is supplied. To search instead of scraping a specific page, provide a query with `--search`.

A `firecrawl` server must be configured in `mcp_config.json`, with `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` available. Without that server setup, the script cannot fetch page content. The extracted result can be used to inspect a page or retrieve structured data from it.
