`scrape`

Pack: firecrawl · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/scrape for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Scrape a single URL using Firecrawl’s JS-rendering engine and return clean markdown (up to 100,000 chars), page title, and description. Strips navigation/boilerplate by default (only_main_content=true). Supports output formats: markdown, html, rawHtml, links.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	yes	The URL to scrape, e.g. “https://example.com/article”
`formats`	array	no	Output formats to return (default [“markdown”]). Options include “markdown”, “html”, “rawHtml”, “links”.
`items`	string	no
`only_main_content`	boolean	no	Strip navigation, footers, and boilerplate, returning just the main content (default true).
`_apiKey`	string	no	Optional — your own Firecrawl API key for higher limits; omit to use the shared Pipeworx key.
