SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual work of connecting Firecrawl to a self-hosted Hermes agent so AI coding agents can scrape, crawl, search, and extract web data reliably over SSH.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH-first deployment: Configure Firecrawl on a remote VPS running Hermes without adding a new runtime or daemon.
  • Hosted MCP or direct REST: Choose the URL-embedded hosted MCP path or the Bearer-token REST path based on your client setup.
  • Safe operations: Validates the fc- API key, performs live smoke tests, supports idempotent setup, and rolls back on failure.
  • Use case: Use it when you want Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or Hermes itself to add Firecrawl-powered web search and markdown scraping to an existing agent stack.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to connect your Firecrawl account to the Hermes VPS using the recommended hosted MCP path and verify the integration end to end.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Firecrawl to a self-hosted Hermes agent over SSH?

You can connect Firecrawl to a Hermes agent over SSH by validating your fc- API key and configuring either the hosted MCP path or Bearer-token REST path for web scraping and crawling.

Can I use Firecrawl with AI coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor?

Yes, Firecrawl integrates with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI by wiring them into a self-hosted Hermes agent via SSH for web scraping and structured extraction.

Does the Firecrawl Hermes setup support rollback for failed integrations?

The Firecrawl Hermes setup supports rollback-safe secret handling and idempotent configuration, rolling back automatically if live REST verification or smoke testing fails.

What is the difference between the hosted MCP and direct REST paths for Firecrawl?

The hosted MCP path uses URL-embedded configuration while the direct REST path uses Bearer-token authentication, letting you choose your Firecrawl connection method based on your client setup.

Do I need a daemon to run Firecrawl crawling on a remote VPS?

You do not need a new daemon to run Firecrawl on a remote VPS, as the SSH-first deployment workflow configures crawling and search directly on your existing Hermes runtime.

Why is my Firecrawl MCP registration failing during gateway reloads?

Firecrawl MCP registration may fail during gateway reloads if the fc- API key is invalid, but the integration performs live REST verification and smoke testing to catch this safely.
