For Agents

Programmatically create Firebase projects, register iOS, Android, and Web apps, and retrieve SDK configuration so an agent can bootstrap Firebase environments end to end.

Quickstart

Get started with Firebase Management API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"register a firebase android app"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Firebase Management API API.

Add Firebase to an existing Google Cloud project to enable Firebase services

Retrieve runtime SDK configuration for an Android, iOS, or Web app

View OpenAPI Document

The Firebase Management API enables programmatic setup and lifecycle management of Firebase projects and the iOS, Android, and Web apps registered inside them. It exposes operations to add Firebase to an existing Google Cloud project, register apps, list available locations, fetch SDK config, and manage SHA certificate fingerprints for Android apps. Use it to automate project provisioning across environments without clicking through the Firebase console.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Firebase Management API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Automated Firebase Project Bootstrapping

Provision a new Firebase project, finalise its location, and register the iOS, Android, and Web apps a team needs in a single automation run. The Management API turns a process that normally involves several Firebase console screens into a deterministic script suitable for environment-per-branch workflows. Bootstrapping an end-to-end staging environment takes minutes once the script is in place.

Call POST /v1beta1/{+project}:addFirebase to enable Firebase on a Cloud project, then POST /v1beta1/{+parent}/androidApps with packageName=com.example.app and POST /v1beta1/{+parent}/iosApps with bundleId=com.example.app to register both clients.

SDK Config Retrieval for CI/CD

Fetch the up-to-date SDK configuration for Firebase Android, iOS, and Web apps so build pipelines can inject google-services.json, GoogleService-Info.plist, and Web init configs at build time rather than committing them to source control. The webApps.getConfig endpoint returns the JSON config while androidApps and iosApps expose equivalent platform-specific configs.

Call GET /v1beta1/{+name}/config on the resource projects/PROJECT/webApps/APPID and write the returned JSON to the build artifact directory.

Android Fingerprint Management for App Auth

Manage Android SHA-1 and SHA-256 certificate fingerprints needed by Firebase Authentication, Dynamic Links, and App Check via the projects.androidApps.sha endpoints. The API supports listing existing fingerprints, adding fingerprints from new signing keys, and removing rotated ones. This avoids ad-hoc updates in the Firebase console when signing keys change.

Use POST /v1beta1/{+parent}/sha to register a new SHA-256 fingerprint on the Android app projects/PROJECT/androidApps/APPID and confirm via GET /v1beta1/{+parent}/sha that it is listed.

Agent-Driven Firebase Environment Provisioning

An AI agent connected through Jentic can stand up a complete Firebase environment in response to a single intent like create a new staging Firebase project for the launch app. Jentic loads the relevant Firebase Management endpoints, the agent strings together project enablement, app registration, and config retrieval, and the OAuth 2.0 flow is handled transparently.

Through Jentic, search for register a firebase android app, load the androidApps.create operation, and execute it with parent=projects/my-project and packageName=com.example.staging.

Key Endpoints

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Google OAuth 2.0 service-account keys for the Firebase Management API are stored in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access tokens with the cloud-platform or firebase scope at call time and never see the raw private key.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like create a firebase project or register a firebase android app and Jentic returns the matching addFirebase, androidApps.create, and iosApps.create operations with their input schemas.

Time to first call

Direct integration with Firebase Management API: 2-4 days for OAuth, project setup automation, and long-running-operation handling. Through Jentic: under 1 hour.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Firebase App Check API

Protects the Firebase apps registered through this API from abuse.

Choose App Check after Management API has registered an app, to attest that backend traffic comes from the genuine app instance.

Complementary

Firebase Hosting API

Deploys static assets and configures channels for the Web apps registered here.

Choose Firebase Hosting once a Web app exists in a project, to ship versioned static deploys to a hosted site.

Alternative

Cloud Resource Manager API

Manages underlying Google Cloud projects without the Firebase overlay.

Choose Resource Manager when only base Cloud project, folder, or org operations are needed; use Firebase Management when Firebase services must be enabled or apps must be registered.

FAQs

Specific to using Firebase Management API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Firebase Management API use?

The API uses Google OAuth 2.0 with the firebase or cloud-platform scope. Through Jentic, OAuth credentials are stored in the encrypted vault and a scoped access token is supplied at execution time without exposing the underlying client secret.

Can I add Firebase to an existing Google Cloud project with the Firebase Management API?

Yes. POST /v1beta1/{+project}:addFirebase enables Firebase on a Cloud project that you already own. After the long-running operation completes, the project is visible in the Firebase console and accepts further app registration calls.

What are the rate limits for the Firebase Management API?

Google enforces the standard googleapis.com per-project quota, typically a few hundred requests per minute for management-style endpoints. Bulk app registration scripts should add backoff and respect the long-running-operation lifecycle returned by addFirebase and similar calls.

How do I register an Android app in a Firebase project through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search for register a firebase android app, load the androidApps.create operation, and execute it with parent=projects/PROJECT and packageName=com.example.app. Sign up at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

Does the Firebase Management API return google-services.json or GoogleService-Info.plist?

Yes. The androidApps and iosApps resources expose getConfig endpoints that return the JSON or plist content as a base64 payload, suitable for writing into a CI build artifact for Android and iOS clients.

Is the Firebase Management API free?

The Management API is included with Firebase at no extra charge; you pay only for the Firebase services your provisioned apps consume, such as Firestore, Authentication, or Cloud Messaging beyond their free quotas.
