Add the Google Cloud Firestore MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Read and write Firestore data with natural-language requests.
1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"google-firestore","type":"http","url":"https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Google Cloud Firestore is hosted by Google Cloud, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Google Cloud Firestore can do. Read and write Firestore data with natural-language requests. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
- · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
