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
1
Open Project Settings
Pick your Firebase project, click the gear icon → Project settings.
2
Open the Service accounts tab
Tab labeled Service accounts. The default Firebase Admin SDK service account is there.
3
Generate a private key
Click Generate new private key. Firebase downloads a JSON file. Treat it as secret.
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
1
Open the Firebase integration
From an agent’s detail page, open the Integrations tab and find Firebase.
2
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.
3
(Realtime DB only) Set the database URL
If your agent uses Realtime Database, paste the database URL (e.g.
https://my-proj.firebaseio.com).4
Connect
Click Connect. Nora validates the JSON parses and contains
client_email, private_key, and project_id. It does not call Google’s auth server — that happens in the agent runtime.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
No official Firebase MCP server today.Environment variables Nora injects
The agent runtime writes the JSON to a file and points
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS at the file path — that’s what the Firebase Admin SDK expects.
