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 is a web scraper API. The directory you have access to is a monorepo:
 - `apps/api` has the actual API and worker code
 - `apps/*-sdk` are various SDKs

When making changes to the API, here are the general steps you should take:
1. Write some end-to-end tests that assert your win conditions, if they don't already exist
  - 1 happy path (more is encouraged if there are multiple happy paths with significantly different code paths taken)
  - 1+ failure path(s)
  - Generally, E2E (called `snips` in the API) is always preferred over unit testing.
  - In the API, always use `scrapeTimeout` from `./lib` to set the timeout you use for scrapes.
  - These tests will be ran on a variety of configurations. You should gate tests in the following manner:
    - If it requires fire-engine: `!process.env.TEST_SUITE_SELF_HOSTED`
    - If it requires AI: `!process.env.TEST_SUITE_SELF_HOSTED || process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY || process.env.OLLAMA_BASE_URL`
2. Write code to achieve your win conditions
3. Run your tests using `pnpm harness pnpm exec vitest run ...`
  - `pnpm harness` is a command that gets the API server and workers up for you to run the tests. Don't try to `pnpm start` manually.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add firecrawl/firecrawl/CLAUDE.md@sha256:31a63a06cc9976a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.5a75dca, 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.
