Antigravity Setup

To get the most out of Firebase in Antigravity, follow these steps to install the agent skills and the MCP server.

1. Install and Verify Firebase Skills

Check if the skills are already installed before proceeding:

1. Check Local skills: Run ls -d .agent/skills/firebase-basics or ls -d .agents/skills/firebase-basics. If the directory exists, the skills are already installed locally.
2. Check Global skills: If not found locally, check the global installation by running:

   npx skills list --global --agent antigravity
   

   If the output includes firebase-basics, the skills are already installed globally.
3. Install Skills: If both checks fail, run the following command to install the Firebase agent skills:

   npx skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent antigravity --skill "*"
   

   Note: Omit --yes and --global to choose the installation location manually. If prompted interactively in the terminal, ensure you send the appropriate user choices via standard input to complete the installation.
4. Verify Installation: Re-run the checks in steps 1 or 2 to confirm that firebase-basics is now available.

2. Configure and Verify Firebase MCP Server

The MCP server allows Antigravity to interact directly with Firebase projects.

1. Locate mcp_config.json: Find the configuration file for your operating system:

   • macOS / Linux: ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json
   • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\\.gemini\\antigravity\\mcp_config.json

   Note: If the .gemini/antigravity/ directory or mcp_config.json file does not exist, create them and initialize the file with { "mcpServers": {} } before proceeding.

2. Check Existing Configuration: Open mcp_config.json and check the mcpServers section for a firebase entry.

   • It is already configured if the command is "firebase" OR if the command is "npx" with "firebase-tools" and "mcp" in the args.
   • Important: If a valid firebase entry is found, the MCP server is already configured. Skip step 3 and proceed directly to step 4.

   Example valid configurations:

   "firebase": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": ["-y", "firebase-tools@latest", "mcp"]
   }
   

   OR

   "firebase": {
     "command": "firebase",
     "args": ["mcp"]
   }
   

3. Add or Update Configuration: If the firebase block is missing or incorrect, add it to the mcpServers object:

   "firebase": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": [
       "-y",
       "firebase-tools@latest",
       "mcp"
     ]
   }
   

   CRITICAL: Merge this configuration into the existing mcp_config.json file. You MUST preserve any other existing servers inside the mcpServers object.

4. Verify Configuration: Save the file and confirm the firebase block is present and properly formatted JSON.

3. Restart and Verify Connection

1. Restart Antigravity: Instruct the user to restart the Antigravity application. Stop and wait for their confirmation before proceeding.
2. Confirm Connection: Check the MCP server list in the Antigravity UI to confirm that the Firebase MCP server is connected.
