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

Related MCP server: FireMCP

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.
