Allow scraping multiple URLs concurrently and save each result to .firecrawl/. Adds handleMultiScrapeCommand and urlToFilename helper in src/commands/scrape.ts to run concurrent scrapes, write outputs to .firecrawl/, emit progress/errors, and exit non-zero if all fail. Update CLI in src/index.ts to accept multiple positional URLs and --url, deduplicate inputs, infer formats from positional args or flags, and route single-URL requests to the existing handler. Update README.md and skills/firecrawl-cli/SKILL.md to document multiple-URL usage and examples.
Introduce a new CLI init command to install Firecrawl integrations. Adds src/commands/init.ts which implements handleInitCommand with subcommands 'skills' and 'mcp' (installSkills and installMcp). Both flows invoke npx helpers via execSync and accept --global and --agent options; installMcp requires an API key (getApiKey / FIRECRAWL_API_KEY) and injects it into the environment. Registers the command in src/index.ts and updates README.md with usage examples for `firecrawl init skills` and `firecrawl init mcp` (including the npx add-mcp invocation). Exits on failures to propagate errors to the caller.
* Add support for local/custom API URLs
For custom API URLs (e.g., local development with Docker), the CLI now:
- Skips API key requirement when using non-cloud URLs
- Allows optional API key input during login
- Skips browser auth flow for custom URLs
This enables use with local Firecrawl instances that have
USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION=false.

* Add --api-url option to commands
Add --api-url flag at both global and command levels (scrape, crawl,
map, search, credit-usage) similar to --api-key. When a custom API URL
is provided, authentication is skipped allowing requests to local or
self-hosted Firecrawl instances without an API key.

* docs: Add --api-url option documentation
Document the --api-url option for self-hosted and local development
use cases in the README, including examples for environment variables
and CI/CD usage.
