Firebase MCP Server

Content

Firebase MCP Server is the official Firebase Model Context Protocol server bundled with Firebase CLI. It gives Claude and other MCP clients access to Firebase-specific project, app, Auth, database, rules, Crashlytics, App Hosting, Data Connect, Functions, Messaging, Storage, Remote Config, and deployment workflows through the same credentials used by the Firebase CLI.

The Firebase MCP README documents setup for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Firebase Studio, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, Cline, and other MCP clients. It also documents server capabilities, prompts, and resources for Firebase docs and workflow guides.

• Firestore document and collection query tools.
• Realtime Database read and write tools.
• Storage download URL retrieval.
• Crashlytics issues, events, notes, reports, and issue-state tools.
• Data Connect compile, service list, and operation execution tools.

• Firebase Cloud Messaging send tool.
• Remote Config template get and update tools.
• Resources for Firebase docs and workflow-specific guides.

Installation

For Claude Code, the Firebase README documents an official plugin path and a manual MCP server path. To add the MCP server manually:

claude mcp add firebase npx -- -y firebase-tools@latest mcp

For MCP clients that use JSON configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firebase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "firebase-tools@latest", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Sign in with the Firebase CLI in the same environment, then verify the MCP client shows the Firebase server as connected.

Use Cases

• Ask Claude to inspect the active Firebase project and list apps before making setup changes.
• Validate or retrieve security rules while reviewing Firestore, Storage, or Realtime Database access.
• Query Firestore or Realtime Database during local development and debugging.
• Review Crashlytics issues, events, notes, and reports before prioritizing fixes.
• Retrieve Cloud Functions logs while diagnosing a backend issue.
• Compile and execute Data Connect operations against a service or emulator.
• Send a reviewed Firebase Cloud Messaging message to a token or topic.
• Retrieve or update Remote Config templates with explicit approval.
• Deploy Firebase resources only after reviewing the proposed changes and active project.

Safety and Privacy

Firebase MCP is a live cloud-service control surface. Treat it as access to the Firebase project, not as a read-only documentation helper. Use least-privilege Firebase roles, check the active project before every write, and require human approval before deploys, database writes, Auth user changes, FCM sends, Remote Config publishes, Crashlytics issue updates, or production-facing changes.

The server can expose sensitive operational and customer data. Avoid putting credentials, tokens, PII, production records, crash details, logs, or private project context into prompts unless the MCP client, model provider, and Firebase data-use policy have been approved for that data. Validate Gemini in Firebase output before applying it, and do not use untested generated code or rules in production.
