Firebase MCP Server

Spec Support Unverified First-party Confidence: Good (0.85)

Firebase MCP Server is an MCP server published by Google; its MCP spec-revision support has not been verified yet. It is the first-party server from Google. Last verified 2026-08-14.

Does Firebase MCP Server support the current MCP specification (2026-07-28)?

Undetermined. We have not verified which MCP specification revision Firebase MCP Server supports (as of 2026-08-14).

Is Firebase MCP Server a first-party (official) MCP server?

Yes. Firebase MCP Server is the first-party MCP server published by Google (last verified 2026-08-14).

How do I connect to Firebase MCP Server?

Firebase MCP Server is available via the package npm:firebase-tools, the official MCP Registry under io.github.firebase/firebase-mcp, the source repository at https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools. Authentication: none. Transports: stdio.

When were Firebase MCP Server's facts last verified?

2026-08-14. Each fact on this page links to the sources used to verify it.

The Firebase MCP server is not a standalone package: it ships inside the Firebase CLI monorepo (firebase/firebase-tools, source under src/mcp/) and runs locally as npx -y firebase-tools@latest mcp. Its tools span Firebase products, grouped by feature: Firestore, Auth, Storage, Crashlytics, Functions, App Hosting, Realtime Database, Remote Config, Messaging, and Data Connect, with --only flags to narrow the set. The docs page presents its tool list as partial and points at the server's own capability listing for the full set.

There is no hosted endpoint and no MCP-level authentication. The docs state that tool calls use "the same user credentials that authorize the Firebase CLI in the environment where it's running", a logged-in Google account or Application Default Credentials.

Authority is verifiable from the vendor's own surfaces: the canonical documentation lives on firebase.google.com and links the firebase-tools src/mcp source directly, and the firebase GitHub organization lists firebase.google.com as its site. Note the name collision: several unrelated third-party repositories also call themselves "firebase-mcp"; the official record is the one under the io.github.firebase registry namespace.

No surface names a supported MCP specification revision. The firebase-tools changelog references SEP-2243 header forwarding (Mcp-Param-*), which names a spec enhancement proposal rather than a revision, and the CLI's @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.24.0 dependency is not evidence of revision support. spec_status is therefore unknown. The registry record also lags the CLI it describes: it pins firebase-tools 14.27.0 from December 2025, while the npm latest is 15.26.0 (2026-08-05).

How widely adopted is Firebase MCP Server?

Ranked #6 in The MCP 500 with Adoption Index 92.44 (snapshot , methodology v1).
