Overview

What is Firebase Docs MCP Server Setup?

Firebase Docs MCP Server Setup is a toolchain that indexes Firebase documentation into a local SQLite database and serves the indexed content through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using stdio transport. It is designed for developers who want to query Firebase documentation via MCP-compatible AI assistants or tools. The project includes a Go-based indexer, a Node.js MCP server, and a Genkit-based MCP client for testing.

How to use Firebase Docs MCP Server Setup?

Set the Gemini API key: export genaikey="APIKEY".
From the docs-mcp folder, run go run . to index Firebase docs into $HOME/.indexResp/db.sqlite.
Copy the database to the docs-mcp-server folder: cp $HOME/.indexResp/db.sqlite ..
Install dependencies and build: npm ci && npm run build.
Test the MCP server: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node build/index.js (or use the Genkit tester via npx genkit start -- npx tsx --watch src/index.ts).
