Implementation Reference
- src/server/tools.ts:287-349 (handler)MCP server tool registration and handler for 'firecrawl_process'. Defines the tool schema, description, and execution logic that delegates to the UnifiedFirecrawlProcessingProvider's process_content method.
server.tool( { name: 'firecrawl_process', description: this.firecrawl_process_provider.description, schema: v.object({ url: v.pipe( v.union([v.string(), v.array(v.string())]), v.description('URL(s)'), ), mode: v.pipe( v.union([ v.literal('scrape'), v.literal('crawl'), v.literal('map'), v.literal('extract'), v.literal('actions'), ]), v.description('Processing mode'), ), extract_depth: v.optional( v.pipe( v.union([v.literal('basic'), v.literal('advanced')]), v.description('Extraction depth'), ), ), }), }, async ({ url, mode, extract_depth }) => { try { const result = await this.firecrawl_process_provider!.process_content( url, extract_depth, mode as any, ); const safe_result = handle_large_result( result, 'firecrawl_process', ); return { content: [ { type: 'text' as const, text: JSON.stringify(safe_result, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { const error_response = create_error_response( error as Error, ); return { content: [ { type: 'text' as const, text: error_response.error, }, ], isError: true, }; } }, ); - Core handler logic in UnifiedFirecrawlProvider.process_content. Selects sub-provider based on mode (scrape/crawl/etc.) and delegates processing.
async process_content( url: string | string[], extract_depth: 'basic' | 'advanced' = 'basic', mode: FirecrawlMode = 'scrape', ): Promise<ProcessingResult> { if (!mode) { throw new ProviderError( ErrorType.INVALID_INPUT, 'Mode parameter is required', this.name, ); } const selectedProvider = this.providers.get(mode); if (!selectedProvider) { throw new ProviderError( ErrorType.INVALID_INPUT, `Invalid mode: ${mode}. Valid options: ${Array.from(this.providers.keys()).join(', ')}`, this.name, ); } return selectedProvider.process_content(url, extract_depth); } - src/server/tools.ts:291-312 (schema)Valibot schema defining input parameters for the 'firecrawl_process' tool: url, mode, extract_depth.
schema: v.object({ url: v.pipe( v.union([v.string(), v.array(v.string())]), v.description('URL(s)'), ), mode: v.pipe( v.union([ v.literal('scrape'), v.literal('crawl'), v.literal('map'), v.literal('extract'), v.literal('actions'), ]), v.description('Processing mode'), ), extract_depth: v.optional( v.pipe( v.union([v.literal('basic'), v.literal('advanced')]), v.description('Extraction depth'), ), ), }), - TypeScript interface defining the contract for the firecrawl_process provider, including process_content signature.
export interface UnifiedFirecrawlProcessingProvider { name: string; description: string; process_content( url: string | string[], extract_depth?: 'basic' | 'advanced', mode?: FirecrawlMode, ): Promise<ProcessingResult>; } - src/providers/index.ts:85-89 (registration)Registers the UnifiedFirecrawlProvider instance if any Firecrawl API key is valid, enabling the 'firecrawl_process' tool.
