Django Firebase MCP

A comprehensive Django app that implements Firebase Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI agents to interact with Firebase services through a standardized protocol.

🚀 Quick Start

Get up and running in under 5 minutes with the standalone Firebase agent for testing.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Firebase project with Admin SDK
• Git (optional)

1. Clone & Setup

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/django-firebase-mcp.git
cd django-firebase-mcp

2. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Firebase Setup

Get Firebase Credentials

1. Go to Firebase Console
2. Select your project (or create a new one)
3. Navigate to Project Settings → Service Accounts
4. Click "Generate new private key"
5. Download the JSON file and save it as credentials.json in the project root

Enable Firebase Services

Make sure these services are enabled in your Firebase project:

• Authentication (for user management)
• Firestore Database (for document storage)
• Cloud Storage (for file uploads)

4. Environment Configuration

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Firebase Configuration
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_PATH=credentials.json
FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=your-project-id.appspot.com

# MCP Configuration
MCP_TRANSPORT=http
MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
MCP_PORT=8001

# Django Settings
DEBUG=True
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here

⚠️ Important: Replace your-project-id with your actual Firebase project ID.

5. Quick Test with Standalone Agent

Test your setup immediately with the standalone Firebase agent:

# Run the standalone agent
python firebase_admin_mcp/standalone_firebase_agent.py

You should see:

🔥 Firebase MCP Agent Ready!
Type 'help' for available commands, 'quit' to exit.

>

Try these commands:

> List all Firebase collections
> Check Firebase health status
> help
> quit

6. Full Django Setup (Optional)

For full Django integration:

# Apply migrations
python manage.py migrate

# Create superuser (optional)
python manage.py createsuperuser

# Run Django development server
python manage.py runserver 8001

The MCP server will be available at: http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp/

• firebase_delete_user - Delete user accounts

📚 Firestore Database (6 tools)

• firestore_list_collections - List all collections
• firestore_create_document - Create new documents
• firestore_get_document - Retrieve documents
• firestore_update_document - Update documents
• firestore_delete_document - Delete documents
• firestore_query_collection - Query with filters

🗄️ Cloud Storage (4 tools)

• storage_list_files - List files with filtering
• storage_upload_file - Upload files
• storage_download_file - Download files
• storage_delete_file - Delete files

🧪 Quick Testing

Test Server Health

curl http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp/

Test a Firebase Tool

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "firestore_list_collections",
      "arguments": {}
    },
    "id": 1
  }'

🤖 AI Agent Integration

LangChain Example

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent

# Import Firebase tools
from firebase_admin_mcp.tools.agents.firebase_mcp_client import ALL_FIREBASE_TOOLS

# Create agent with Firebase capabilities
model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
agent = create_react_agent(
    model=model,
    tools=ALL_FIREBASE_TOOLS,
    prompt="You are a Firebase assistant with full database and storage access."
)

# Use the agent
response = agent.invoke({
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Show me all my Firestore collections"}]
})

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Problem: Default app does not exist error Solution: Verify credentials.json path in .env file

Problem: Server won't start Solution: Check if port 8001 is available: netstat -an | findstr :8001

Problem: Firebase connection fails Solution: Verify Firebase services are enabled in console

Problem: Import errors Solution: Ensure all dependencies installed: pip install -r requirements.txt
