What the code does

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Firebase MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Firebase MCP?
Firebase MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package firebase-tools was installed 2 171 835 times last week.
How do I connect Firebase MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls firebase-tools straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Firebase MCP?
The npm package firebase-tools was installed 2 171 835 times in the last week. Week over week that is +12%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Firebase MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 4 474 stars on GitHub and 485 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
