Fixes firecrawl#113. The crawl tool description referenced "map + batch_scrape" as a recommended workflow, but no batch scrape tool existed in the MCP server. Add two new tools using the JS SDK's startBatchScrape() and getBatchScrapeStatus() methods: - firecrawl_batch_scrape: starts a batch scrape job for a list of URLs with support for scrapeOptions, webhook, ignoreInvalidURLs, and maxConcurrency - firecrawl_check_batch_scrape_status: polls job status and retrieves results Also update the crawl tool description to reference the correct tool name (firecrawl_batch_scrape instead of bare "batch_scrape"). AI disclosure: this PR was authored by an AI (Claude Opus 4.6, Anthropic).

Fixes #113
Problem
The
firecrawl_crawltool description references "map + batch_scrape" as a recommended workflow for large-scale scraping, but there is no batch scrape tool registered in the MCP server. The JS SDK (@mendable/firecrawl-js) already exposesstartBatchScrape()andgetBatchScrapeStatus()methods, but the MCP server never wired them up as tools.Solution
Add two new tools following the same patterns as the existing crawl/check_crawl_status pair:
firecrawl_batch_scrape— Starts a batch scrape job for a list of URLs usingclient.startBatchScrape(). AcceptsscrapeOptions(reuses the existingscrapeParamsSchema),webhook/webhookHeaders(disabled in safe mode),ignoreInvalidURLs, andmaxConcurrency. Returns the job ID and status URL.firecrawl_check_batch_scrape_status— Polls a batch scrape job usingclient.getBatchScrapeStatus(). Returns status, progress (completed/total), and scraped data when available.Also updates the
firecrawl_crawldescription to reference the correct tool name (firecrawl_batch_scrapeinstead of barebatch_scrape).Changes
