# Gemini CLI Setup
|
|
|
|
To get the most out of Firebase in the Gemini CLI, follow these steps to install the agent extension and the MCP server.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended: Installing Extensions
|
|
|
|
The best way to get both the agent skills and the MCP server is via the Gemini extension.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Install and Verify Firebase Extension
|
|
Check if the extension is already installed before proceeding:
|
|
|
|
1. **Check Existing Extensions**: Run `gemini extensions list`. If the output includes `firebase`, the extension is already installed.
|
|
2. **Install Extension**: If not found, run the following command to install the Firebase agent skills and MCP server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gemini extensions install https://github.com/firebase/agent-skills
|
|
```
|
|
3. **Verify Installation**: Run the following checks to confirm installation:
|
|
- `gemini mcp list` -> Output should include `firebase-tools`.
|
|
- `gemini skills list` -> Output should include `firebase-basic`.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Restart and Verify Connection
|
|
1. **Restart Gemini CLI**: Instruct the user to restart the Gemini CLI if any new installation occurred. **Stop and wait** for their confirmation before proceeding.
|
|

## Alternative: Manual MCP Configuration (Project Scope)
|
|
|
|
If the user only wants to use the MCP server for the current project:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Configure and Verify Firebase MCP Server
|
|
1. **Check Existing Configuration**: Run `gemini mcp list`. If the output includes `firebase-tools`, the MCP server is already configured.
|
|
2. **Add the MCP Server**: If not found, run the following command to configure the Firebase MCP Server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gemini mcp add -e IS_GEMINI_CLI_EXTENSION=true firebase npx -y firebase-tools@latest mcp
|
|
```
|
|
3. **Verify Configuration**: Re-run `gemini mcp list` to confirm `firebase-tools` is connected.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Restart and Verify Connection
|
|
1. **Restart Gemini CLI**: Instruct the user to restart the Gemini CLI. **Stop and wait** for their confirmation before proceeding.
