Connect Firestore to VS Code
Enable VS Code to access your Firestore data through secure, governed MCP servers—no manual queries or engineering bottlenecks
How it works
1. Connect your database
Provide your Firestore connection details. We'll securely connect to your data source.
2. Define your MCP tools
Configure the tools and data available to your AI agents.
3. Deploy your MCP server
We convert your config into a production-ready MCP server with enterprise governance.
How to connect
Connect your Firestore database
- •GCP project ID: Your Google Cloud project containing Firestore database
- •Database identifier: Optional database name, defaults to primary Firestore database
- •Minimal configuration: Firestore requires minimal setup with automatic GCP authentication
- •Configure data access: Define which collections and documents are available to AI agents
Link your PostgreSQL MCP to VS Code
- 1.Open VS Code and run the MCP: Add Server command
- 2.Select 'Global' to configure across all workspaces
- 3.Add your MintMCP Gateway server URL (HTTP/SSE transport)
- 4.Configure authentication headers with your credentials
- 5.Access PostgreSQL data through GitHub Copilot Chat

One-time setup connects Firestore to all your AI tools
What you get
Faster deployment
Define your Firestore connection once, then add more MCP tools as needed through simple config updates. No code required.
Rapid iteration
Build team or use-case specific tools rapidly by adding new queries and parameters to your config. Deploy updates in minutes, not days.
Enterprise governance
All database access goes through MintMCP Gateway with full observability, authentication, rate limiting, and audit trails.
Why MintMCP gateway
Centralized governance
Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for all database MCP connections.
One-click deployment
Instantly enable database MCP for AI teams via MintMCP's standardized gateway without manual server setup.
OAuth + SSO enforcement
Automatic enterprise authentication wrapping for database MCP endpoints.
Host stdio servers on MintMCP instead of running locally
Containerized servers become accessible to clients like ChatGPT without local installations. Better risk management and security posture without requiring users to run servers on their machines.
Observability and control
Real-time dashboards for monitoring usage, detecting anomalies, and maintaining SLA compliance.
Enterprise hardening
High availability, security, and compliance alignment transform MCP from developer utility to production-grade infrastructure.
Supports shared and per-user auth
Flexibility to configure service accounts at the admin level or enable individual OAuth flows. Secrets remain protected while users gain access, with centralized revocation capabilities.
Granular tool access control
Configure tool access by role. For example, enable read-only operations and exclude write tools like create and delete.
Use cases
Conversational queries on real-time data
Enable teams to investigate user activity, chat histories, and collaborative document changes through natural language—AI agents query real-time Firestore collections without learning NoSQL document structure.
Generative AI and vector search
Power AI chatbots, product recommendations, and semantic search applications with Firestore's vector similarity capabilities.
E-commerce and gaming analytics
Let product teams analyze user behavior, purchase patterns, and game progression by asking questions in natural language—AI agents access Firestore's real-time data with offline support without manual queries.
Other supported databases
Connect to 30+ other database types including SQL, NoSQL, and cloud-native databases
FAQs
Yes. MintMCP Gateway is SOC 2 compliant and uses OAuth-based authentication for all database MCP interactions.
