Firecrawl

Web extraction API + MCP server

Free tier + paidAgent tools & orchestrationgithub.com

What it is

Turns arbitrary sites into LLM-ready markdown or schema-constrained JSON, handling JS rendering, crawling and cleanup. Scrape, crawl, map, batch, search-with-full-content, browser interaction and autonomous agent modes. Parses web-hosted PDFs and DOCX. Self-hostable (AGPL core). ~128k stars.

Why it earns a slot

The archive-migration tool. Point it at an existing site and get every back-issue article as clean structured JSON ready for Supabase. Also the competitive-research tool — crawl other publications and extract their section taxonomy. Free tier is 1,000 credits; a typical archive fits inside $16/mo.
