Find and synthesize research papers, whitepapers, PDFs, technical reports, and academic sources with Firecrawl Research, using semantic paper search, related-paper expansion, and in-body verification over Firecrawl's paper index — largely biomedical and life-science literature from PubMed, bioRxiv, and medRxiv, plus arXiv preprints in CS, physics, and math. Use when the user wants a literature review, systematic review, survey of studies, paper summary, research landscape, or sourced synthesis…
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 Research Papers Use this to create a sourced literature review. ## Onboarding Interview Infer the topic, source constraints, target count, and output format from context. If the topic is clear, proceed immediately. Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the topic, target paper count, or required venue/date/method constraints. ## Firecrawl Collection Plan Use Firecrawl Research through the CLI, MCP, or equivalent Firecrawl tool surface as the primary path for paper discovery and verification. Fall back to general Firecrawl search and scrape for whitepapers, technical reports, research blogs, leaderboards, or facts outside the paper corpus. What the paper index holds: paper abstracts, with full text reachable per paper. Its largest share is biomedical and life-science literature — PubMed journal articles plus bioRxiv and medRxiv preprints — so clinical, drug, gene, disease, epidemiology, and public-health questions are in scope. arXiv preprints cover computer science, physics, and mathematics. Coverage outside those sources is thinner, and the web tools below are the fallback there. Core tools: …

How to install
mdr add firecrawl/skills/firecrawl-research-papers@sha256:e93996e2209ad592The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
