Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I add the Firebase MCP server to Google Antigravity? Open Antigravity, go to the drop-down menu in the Agent window, select MCP servers, then choose Firebase from the list of available servers. A description panel appears where clicking install adds the Firebase MCP server, after which the agent can initialize Firebase in a project, fetch API keys, and deploy via commands like firebase deploy --only hosting. _Developers wiring up AI agents to cloud backends can follow Firebase and Antigravity coverage on daily.dev._ ### Can an AI agent deploy an app to Firebase Hosting without running CLI commands manually? Yes, using the Firebase MCP server inside Antigravity, the agent can consult the server to build a deployment plan, compile the code, and run the firebase deploy --only hosting command itself, so the developer only needs to ask the agent to deploy. The Firebase MCP server also supports App Hosting for server-rendered Next.js and Angular apps. _Track how agentic deployment workflows evolve for Firebase and similar backends on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Review of Google Antigravity for Building Jira Apps](https://daily.dev/posts/review-of-google-antigravity-for-building-jira-apps-jpehjvzil) · Atlassian · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [I connected Google Antigravity to Figma with MCP, and it turns my designs into working code in minutes](https://daily.dev/posts/i-connected-google-antigravity-to-figma-with-mcp-and-it-turns-my-designs-into-working-code-in-minut-jzbrxay3x) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Using the ClickHouse MCP server with Google Antigravity](https://daily.dev/posts/using-the-clickhouse-mcp-server-with-google-antigravity-c0dr5n3ho) · ClickHouse · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/antigravity-and-firebase-mcp-accelerate-app-development-6i6jn9en1) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Antigravity and Firebase MCP accelerate app development","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/antigravity-and-firebase-mcp-accelerate-app-development-6i6jn9en1","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/antigravity-and-firebase-mcp-accelerate-app-development-6i6jn9en1"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:18:29.758Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:24:29.488Z","description":"A walkthrough shows how to install the Firebase MCP server inside Google's Antigravity IDE, letting an AI agent initialize Firebase in a project, build...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/94bf816d1b782b6c68ca988421f3380d?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/94bf816d1b782b6c68ca988421f3380d?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/antigravity-and-firebase-mcp-accelerate-app-development-6i6jn9en1","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,mcp,firebase","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Antigravity and Firebase MCP accelerate app development"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/antigravity-and-firebase-mcp-accelerate-app-development-6i6jn9en1#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I add the Firebase MCP server to Google Antigravity?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Open Antigravity, go to the drop-down menu in the Agent window, select MCP servers, then choose Firebase from the list of available servers.
