Validate Firebase CLI Installation

Before using the Firebase MCP server, ensure Node.js and the Firebase CLI are installed and you're authenticated:

• Node.js: Required to run the Firebase CLI

  • Check installation: node --version
  • Install if needed: Download from nodejs.org (LTS version recommended)

• Firebase CLI: Required for managing Firebase projects and services

  • Check installation: firebase --version
  • Install if needed: npm install -g firebase-tools
  • CRITICAL: If the Firebase CLI is not installed, DO NOT proceed with Firebase setup.

• Authentication: Sign in to Firebase

  • Check current user: firebase login:list
  • If not signed in, run: firebase login (this will open a browser for Google Account authentication)

• Check Projects: Verify project access and connectivity

  • Run firebase projects:list to check for available Firebase projects
  • Use this to verify that the CLI is correctly authenticated and can reach the Firebase API; if this fails, try to reconnect using firebase login

• Verify MCP Connection: Ensure the MCP server is connected after authentication

  • Use the firebase_get_environment tool to check connection status
  • Verify it returns the correct current user and project information
  • If connection fails: The MCP server may need manual setup or restart:
    1. Open Kiro settings and navigate to "MCP Servers"
    2. Find the Firebase MCP server in the list
    3. Click the "Retry" or "Reconnect" button
    4. Wait for the server status to show as "Connected"
    5. Test the connection again with firebase_get_environment
