## ✅ **WORKING DEPLOYMENT COMMANDS**

firebase target:apply hosting 7pace-mcp 7pace-mcp
# 3. Deploy to separate site
firebase deploy --only hosting:7pace-mcp
# ✅ Result: https://7pace-mcp.web.app

## 💡 **Lessons Learned**
### **❌ What Didn't Work:**
- Using `firebase deploy --only hosting` without target (overwrote main site)
- Deploying without proper site separation setup
- Missing `"target": "7pace-mcp"` in firebase.json
### **✅ What Worked:**
- Creating separate hosting site: `firebase hosting:sites:create 7pace-mcp`
- Configuring target: `firebase target:apply hosting 7pace-mcp 7pace-mcp`
- Adding target to firebase.json: `"target": "7pace-mcp"`
- Deploying with target: `firebase deploy --only hosting:7pace-mcp`
### **🔑 Key Configuration:**
The critical line in `firebase.json` was adding:
```json
"target": "7pace-mcp"
```
This ensures deployment goes to the separate site, not the main Taajirah site.
---
## 🆘 **Troubleshooting Reference**
### **If Main Site Gets Overwritten Again:**
```bash
# Always use the target-specific deploy:
firebase deploy --only hosting:7pace-mcp
# NEVER use:
firebase deploy --only hosting # This deploys to main site!
```
### **If Target Gets Lost:**
```bash
# Reapply the target:
firebase target:apply hosting 7pace-mcp 7pace-mcp
# Then deploy:
firebase deploy --only hosting:7pace-mcp
```
### **To Check Current Targets:**
```bash
firebase target
```
---
## 🎉 **Deployment Complete!**
**✅ Your 7pace MCP homepage is now live at:**
### **https://7pace-mcp.web.app**
**Next major milestone:** Add custom domain `7pace.taajirah.com` for professional branding!
