Tool: create_index
Create a composite index.
The following sample demonstrate how to use curl
to invoke the create_index
MCP tool.
| Curl Request |
|---|
curl --location 'https://firestore.googleapis.com/mcp' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --header 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ --data '{ "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "create_index", "arguments": { // provide these details according to the tool' s MCP specification } } , "jsonrpc" : "2.0" , "id" : 1 } ' |
Input Schema
The request for [FirestoreAdmin.CreateIndex][].

object (
|
| Fields | |
|---|---|
parent
|
Required. A parent name of the form |
index
|
Required. The composite index to create. |
Index
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "name" : string , "queryScope" : enum ( |
| Fields | |
|---|---|
name
|
Output only. A server defined name for this index. The form of this name for composite indexes will be: |
queryScope
|
Indexes with a collection query scope specified allow queries against a collection that is the child of a specific document, specified at query time, and that has the same collection ID. Indexes with a collection group query scope specified allow queries against all collections descended from a specific document, specified at query time, and that have the same collection ID as this index. |
apiScope
|
The API scope supported by this index. |
fields[]
|
A field in an index. The field_path describes which field is indexed, the value_mode describes how the field value is indexed. |
state
|
Output only. The serving state of the index. |
density
|
Immutable. The density configuration of the index. |
multikey
|
Optional. Whether the index is multikey. By default, the index is not multikey. For non-multikey indexes, none of the paths in the index definition reach or traverse an array, except via an explicit array index. For multikey indexes, at most one of the paths in the index definition reach or traverse an array, except via an explicit array index. Violations will result in errors. Note this field only applies to index with MONGODB_COMPATIBLE_API ApiScope. |
shardCount
|
Optional. The number of shards for the index. |
unique
|
Optional. Whether it is an unique index. Unique index ensures all values for the indexed field(s) are unique across documents. |
IndexField
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "fieldPath" : string , // Union field |
fieldPath
string
Can be name. For single field indexes, this must match the name of the field or may be omitted.
value_mode
. How the field value is indexed. value_mode
can be only one of the following:order
enum (
Order
)
Indicates that this field supports ordering by the specified order or comparing using =, !=, <, <=, >, >=.
arrayConfig
enum (
ArrayConfig
)
Indicates that this field supports operations on array_value
s.
vectorConfig
object (
VectorConfig
)
Indicates that this field supports nearest neighbor and distance operations on vector.
VectorConfig
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "dimension" : integer } |
| Fields | |
|---|---|
dimension
|
The vector dimension this configuration applies to. The resulting index will only include vectors of this dimension, and can be used for vector search with the same dimension. |
Output Schema
This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a network API call.
Operation
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "name" : string , "metadata" : { "@type" : string , field1 : ... , ... } , "done" : boolean , // Union field |
name
string
The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the name
should be a resource name ending with operations/{unique_id}
.
metadata
object
Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains progress information and common metadata such as create time. Some services might not provide such metadata. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type"
contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" }
.
done
boolean
If the value is false
, it means the operation is still in progress. If true
, the operation is completed, and either error
or response
is available.
result
. The operation result, which can be either an error
or a valid response
. If done
== false
, neither error
nor response
is set. If done
== true
, exactly one of error
or response
can be set. Some services might not provide the result. result
can be only one of the following:error
object (
Status
)
The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.
response
object
The normal, successful response of the operation. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete
, the response is google.protobuf.Empty
. If the original method is standard Get
/ Create
/ Update
, the response should be the resource. For other methods, the response should have the type XxxResponse
, where Xxx
is the original method name. For example, if the original method name is TakeSnapshot()
, the inferred response type is TakeSnapshotResponse
.
An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type"
contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" }
.
Any
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "typeUrl" : string , "value" : string } |
| Fields | |
|---|---|
typeUrl
|
Identifies the type of the serialized Protobuf message with a URI reference consisting of a prefix ending in a slash and the fully-qualified type name. Example: type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.StringValue This string must contain at least one The prefix is arbitrary and Protobuf implementations are expected to simply strip off everything up to and including the last All type URL strings must be legal URI references with the additional restriction (for the text format) that the content of the reference must consist only of alphanumeric characters, percent-encoded escapes, and characters in the following set (not including the outer backticks): In the original design of |
value
|
Holds a Protobuf serialization of the type described by type_url. A base64-encoded string. |
Status
| JSON representation |
|---|
{ "code" : integer , "message" : string , "details" : [ { "@type" : string , field1 : ... , ... } ] } |
| Fields | |
|---|---|
code
|
The status code, which should be an enum value of |
message
|
A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the |
details[]
|
A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use. An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field |
