Autonomous Database Orchestration

Cascade reads your codebase and triggers `firestore_patch_doc` or `rtdb_put` to align your live data with your current logic. It chains these operations without you needing to approve every write. This MCP Server lets you skip the middleware. By letting your agent handle `firestore_list_docs` or `rtdb_get` directly, you maintain a source of truth that stays synchronized with your development work.

Identity and Messaging Control

Handle user records via `auth_lookup` or `auth_sign_up` while testing your authentication flows in real time. Windsurf handles the credentials so you can focus on the logic. You can also fire off notifications using `fcm_send_message` to verify your backend triggers. It removes the need for external API clients when you are already debugging your logic.

Real-time State Synchronization

Use `rtdb_push` to append data to your streams or `rtdb_delete` to clear local test states. This gives you instant control over your Realtime Database without leaving your editor. Because this MCP Server maps directly to REST endpoints, you see the results of your database changes immediately. It creates a tight feedback loop between your code and your live infrastructure.

Setup guide

Set up Firebase (REST & Admin APIs) MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Firebase (REST & Admin APIs) MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Firebase (REST & Admin APIs) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Firebase (REST & Admin APIs) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Firebase (REST & Admin APIs) MCP in Windsurf

You add the server configuration to your MCP settings file and restart the agent. Once connected, Cascade automatically discovers the 14 available tools for database and auth management.

Yes, Cascade can chain multiple tool calls to process updates across your collection. You simply define the target documents, and the agent executes the necessary patches.

The server uses your project credentials to communicate directly with the backend. It only executes the operations you authorize through the agent during your session.

No. This MCP Server communicates via REST endpoints, meaning you do not need to bloat your project with extra dependencies.

The server treats each call as an independent REST request. If an operation fails, the agent reports the specific error returned by the Firebase API for that document.
