Firebase
How to generate a Firebase service-account JSON and connect it to Nora.Firebase integrations cover Realtime Database, Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Messaging. Nora authenticates with a Google service account — the same JSON file every server-side Firebase SDK expects.
Where to apply for credentials
Firebase Console
Open the Service accounts tab
Tab labeled Service accounts. The default Firebase Admin SDK service account is there.
Required permissions
The default Firebase Admin SDK service account already has full access to all Firebase services in the project. For tighter scoping, create a custom service account in GCP IAM and grant only the roles you need (e.g.roles/firebasedatabase.viewer, roles/datastore.user).
Connect in Nora
Open the Firebase integration
From an agent’s detail page, open the Integrations tab and find Firebase.
Paste the JSON
Open the downloaded file in a text editor and paste the entire JSON contents into the
Service Account JSON textarea. Nora encrypts it at rest with AES-256-GCM.
(Realtime DB only) Set the database URL
If your agent uses Realtime Database, paste the database URL (e.g.
https://my-proj.firebaseio.com).Verify the connection
The Test button repeats the structural validation. End-to-end verification happens when your agent makes its first Firebase call.MCP server
