Firebase Live MCP Server

by NigelThorne

Firebase Live MCP Server

MCP server for querying live Firebase projects - Firestore and Cloud Function logs.

Setup

npm install npm run build

Authentication

Uses Application Default Credentials. Run:

gcloud auth application-default login

Project Detection

The server auto-detects the Firebase project from .firebaserc in the current working directory.

Override with env var:

FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=my-project

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "firebase-live": { "command": "node", "args": ["/Users/nigelthorne/code/firebase_live_mcp_server/dist/index.js"], "cwd": "/path/to/your/firebase/project", "env": { "FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID": "optional-override" } } } }

The cwd should point to a directory with .firebaserc for auto-detection.
