Convert a local file (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, …) to markdown, or answer questions about its content. Use whenever the input is a file path, not a URL.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# firecrawl parse Turn a local document into clean markdown on disk. Supports **PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, RTF, XLSX, XLS, HTML/HTM**. ## Quick start Always save to `.firecrawl/` with `-o` — parsed docs can be hundreds of KB and blow up context if streamed to stdout. Add `.firecrawl/` to `.gitignore`. ```bash mkdir -p .firecrawl # File → markdown firecrawl parse ./paper.pdf -o .firecrawl/paper.md # AI summary firecrawl parse ./paper.pdf -S -o .firecrawl/paper-summary.md # Ask a question about the doc firecrawl parse ./paper.pdf -Q "What are the main conclusions?" \ -o .firecrawl/paper-qa.md ``` Then read the output incrementally with `head`, `grep`, or `rg`. Run `firecrawl parse --help` for the full option list. **Done when:** the markdown, summary, or answer is written under `.firecrawl/` and you have inspected it with bounded reads. ## Tips - Quote paths with spaces: `firecrawl parse "./My Doc.pdf" -o .firecrawl/mydoc.md`. - Max upload size: **50 MB** per file. - Credits: ~1 per PDF page; HTML is 1 flat. - Check `.firecrawl/` before re-parsing the same file. …

How to install
mdr add firecrawl/skills/firecrawl-parse@sha256:bb6a1aba463de0b1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.f6c9b2d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
