What problem does it solve?

Provides a minimal, step-by-step checklist to get Firebase tooling, authentication, and agent MCP/skill integration working on a new developer or agent machine so you can start using Firebase without environment blockers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Node.js verification and installation guidance: Ensures Node.js is present and recommends using nvm or nvm-windows to install and select a supported version.
  • Firebase CLI verification and authentication: Verifies firebase-tools via npx and guides through browser or --no-localhost login flows for restricted environments.
  • Agent MCP and skill installation references: Directs users to agent-specific reference docs to install required agent skills and configure the MCP server for tools like Gemini, Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.
  • Use Case: Onboarding a new contributor or provisioning a remote CI/agent so they can run Firebase commands and manage projects securely.

Quick Start

Verify Node.js is >= 20, confirm npx -y firebase-tools@latest --version runs, complete firebase login, and follow the agent-specific reference to install MCP and required skills.
