Supabase MCP Connector

Overview

This skill enables Claude to interact with Supabase through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a bridge between Claude's AI capabilities and Supabase's REST API/Management API, allowing natural language control of Supabase operations, intelligent automation, and AI-powered assistance for Supabase workflows.

When to Use This Skill

• Database table design and migration generation
• Row Level Security policy creation
• Auth provider configuration and user management
• Edge Function deployment and management
• Storage bucket and file management

Core Concepts

MCP Server Setup

The connector implements an MCP server that exposes Supabase operations as tools Claude can invoke. The server translates natural language intentions into REST API/Management API calls.

Key Endpoints/Interfaces

/rest/v1/:table, /auth/v1/admin, /storage/v1/object, /functions/v1/:slug, /v1/projects

Implementation

// Supabase MCP Server Implementation
import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
import { z } from "zod";

const server = new McpServer({
  name: "supabase-mcp-connector",
  version: "1.0.0",
});

// Tool: List/Query Resources
server.tool(
  "list_resources",
  "List and query Supabase resources with optional filters",
  {
    query: z.string().optional().describe("Search query or filter"),
    limit: z.number().optional().describe("Max results to return"),
  },
  async ({ query, limit }) => {
    // Call Supabase REST API/Management API
    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/rest/v1/:table`, {
      headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` },
    });
    const data = await response.json();
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }],
    };
  }
);

// Tool: Create Resource
server.tool(
  "create_resource",
  "Create a new resource in Supabase",
  {
    name: z.string().describe("Resource name"),
    config: z.object({}).passthrough().optional().describe("Resource configuration"),
  },
  async ({ name, config }) => {
    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/rest/v1/:table`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ name, ...config }),
    });
    const data = await response.json();
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: `Created: ${JSON.stringify(data)}` }],
    };
  }
);

// Tool: Analyze/Report
server.tool(
  "analyze",
  "AI-powered analysis of Supabase data",
  {
    type: z.string().describe("Analysis type"),
    timeframe: z.string().optional().describe("Time range for analysis"),
  },
  async ({ type, timeframe }) => {
    // Fetch data and provide AI analysis
    const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/rest/v1/:table`, {
      headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` },
    });
    const data = await response.json();
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }],
    };
  }
);

// Start server
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
await server.connect(transport);

}

Best Practices

1. Authentication: Store API keys securely using environment variables; never hardcode credentials
2. Rate Limiting: Implement request throttling to respect Supabase API rate limits
3. Error Handling: Provide clear, actionable error messages for common failure scenarios
4. Pagination: Handle paginated responses for large datasets efficiently
5. Caching: Cache frequently accessed read-only data to reduce API calls
6. Security: Validate all inputs before passing to the Supabase API; sanitize outputs
7. Logging: Log all API interactions for debugging and audit purposes

Example Prompts

"Create a profiles table with RLS policies, set up Google OAuth, and deploy an Edge Function for webhooks"

Security Considerations

• All API credentials must be stored as environment variables
• Implement input validation and sanitization for all tool parameters
• Use HTTPS for all API communications
• Follow the principle of least privilege for API token permissions
• Audit log all write operations for compliance tracking
