# Cursor Setup
|
|
|
|
To get the most out of Firebase in Cursor, 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 `npx skills list --agent cursor`. If the output includes `firebase-basics`, the skills are already installed locally.
|
|
2. **Check Global skills**: If not found locally, check the global installation by running:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx skills list --global --agent cursor
|
|
```
|
|
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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx skills add firebase/agent-skills --agent cursor --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 Cursor to interact directly with Firebase projects.
|
|
|
|
1. **Locate `mcp.json`**: Find the configuration file for your operating system:
|
|
- Global: `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
|
|
- Project: `.cursor/mcp.json`
|
|
|
|
*Note: If the directory or `mcp.json` file does not exist, create them and initialize the file with `{ "mcpServers": {} }` before proceeding.*
|
|
2. **Check Existing Configuration**: Open `mcp.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**:
|
|
```json
|
|
"firebase": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": ["-y", "firebase-tools@latest", "mcp"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
OR
|
|
```json
|
|
"firebase": {
|
|
"command": "firebase",
|
|
"args": ["mcp"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
3. **Add or Update Configuration**: If the `firebase` block is missing or incorrect, add it to the `mcpServers` object:
|
|
```json
|
|
"firebase": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": [
|
|
"-y",
|
|
"firebase-tools@latest",
|
|
"mcp"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
*CRITICAL: Merge this configuration into the existing `mcp.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 Cursor**: Instruct the user to restart the Cursor application. **Stop and wait** for their confirmation before proceeding.
|
|
2. **Confirm Connection**: Check the MCP server list in the Cursor UI to confirm that the Firebase MCP server is connected.
