The umbrella skill only knew the CLI, so a session with the Firecrawl MCP connector (Claude plugin users in chat and Cowork, where there is no shell) was told to install and run a CLI it cannot reach. The skill now routes search, scrape, developer, paper and provider tasks to the MCP tools when they are present and falls back to the CLI otherwise, so CLI and Cursor users see no change.

firecrawlskill only knew the CLI. This folder also syncs into the Claude plugin, where users in chat and Cowork have the Firecrawl MCP connector and no shell, so the skill pointed them at a CLI they can't run.This adds a short section: when
firecrawl_*MCP tools are connected, use them for search, scrape, developer, paper and provider tasks; for anything the connection doesn't expose (map, crawl, interact, monitor, download, parse), use the CLI if there is a shell. The table lists only the eight tools on the search endpoint the Claude connector uses, so it holds for the narrowest connection. The description now mentions MCP so the skill still triggers in those sessions.No change for CLI or Cursor users: with no MCP tools connected, the rest of the skill applies as before.
Short-term fix while the Claude plugin listing moves to Anthropic's developer portal; after that the Claude plugin gets its own MCP package from
firecrawl-mcp-server/plugins/claudeand stops syncing from here.Summary by cubic
