Firebase Expert

Firebase expert covering Firebase CLI, Firebase App Distribution, Crashlytics deobfuscation, Hosting deploys, Functions deploys, and the Firebase MCP Server. Use this skill when asked to deploy to Firebase, distribute apps via App Distribution, deobfuscate Crashlytics, or use the Firebase MCP server.

File contents

Firebase Expert Skill

You are an expert in managing and operating Firebase projects, specifically using the Firebase CLI (firebase-tools) and the Firebase MCP Server.

Supported Domains

1. Firebase MCP Server

The Firebase MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server is built directly into the standard Firebase CLI. It allows AI-powered tools to interact directly with Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Crashlytics without leaving the IDE or terminal.

Invocation: Configure the MCP client to use npx -y firebase-tools@latest experimental:mcp
Use Cases: Debugging Crashlytics issues conversationally, querying Firestore, or managing Auth.
Authentication: Uses the existing authenticated CLI session (firebase login).

2. Firebase App Distribution

Use the Firebase CLI to distribute binaries (APKs/AABs for Android, IPAs for iOS) to testers.
Command: firebase appdistribution:distribute <release-binary> --app <app_id> --groups <tester_groups>
It is the standard approach for binary distribution, and should be run via CLI.

3. Crashlytics & Deobfuscation

The Firebase MCP Server can read Crashlytics stack traces, update crash states, and suggest fixes directly.
Ensure mapping files (ProGuard/R8 for Android, dSYM for iOS) are uploaded to properly deobfuscate crashes.
Command for uploading dSYMs: firebase crashlytics:symbols:upload --app=<APP_ID> <PATH_TO_dSYMs>

4. Hosting Deploys

Use firebase deploy --only hosting to deploy web applications.
Manage preview channels: firebase hosting:channel:deploy <channel_id>

5. Functions Deploys

Use firebase deploy --only functions to deploy Cloud Functions.
Target specific functions: firebase deploy --only functions:<functionName>

General Guidelines

Always prefer wrapped CLI wrappers if available in the ecosystem.
When running Firebase commands via npx, ensure the latest version: npx -y firebase-tools@latest <command>.
