# Firestore MCP server

> Read and write Firestore documents and manage databases, indexes, backups and backup schedules in Google Cloud.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/firestore
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Databases & Backend](https://mcp.tc/c/databases)
- Vendor: Google Cloud
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## About

Connects an assistant to Google Cloud Firestore. It can get, create, update, delete and list documents, list the collections under a document, and manage databases, composite indexes, backups and backup schedules.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp. Access uses Google OAuth 2.0 and is governed by IAM permissions on your Google Cloud project. Several tools are destructive (deleting documents, databases, indexes, backups), so grant roles carefully.

## What it can do

- Get, add, update, delete and list Firestore documents
- List collection IDs under a document
- Create, update, get, list and delete databases
- Create, get, list and delete composite indexes
- Get, list and delete backups
- Create, update, get, list and delete backup schedules

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http firestore https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **firestore** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Google Cloud sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Firestore** and paste this URL:

```url
https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Google Cloud asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Firestore&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ffirestore.googleapis.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Google Cloud asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Google Cloud to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=firestore&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2ZpcmVzdG9yZS5nb29nbGVhcGlzLmNvbS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firestore": {
      "url": "https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=firestore&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Ffirestore.googleapis.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"firestore","type":"http","url":"https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "firestore": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firestore": {
      "serverUrl": "https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add firestore --url https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp
codex mcp login firestore
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.firestore]
url = "https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http firestore https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth firestore` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firestore": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp`.
