firecrawl-research-index
Agent skill from firecrawl/skills.
What it does
- MCP: firecrawlresearchsearchpapers(query, k?)
- MCP: firecrawlresearchrelatedpapers(seedids, intent, mode?, k?)
- MCP: firecrawlresearchinspectpaper(id)
- MCP: firecrawlresearchreadpaper(id, question)
- MCP: firecrawlsearch(query) / firecrawlscrape(url)
- Single named paper ("the Qwen3 report") → one searchpapers, done. This is the only case that truly wants exactly one paper.
- Only drop the clearly off-topic. Don't pad with papers you're confident are unrelated — but that's a high bar; most plausibly-relevant work should make the cut.
Requirements & configuration
- Use it after searchpapers or relatedpapers when you need the complete citation/metadata for a candidate, or when you have an id from elsewhere and need to confirm what paper it resolves to.
