Supabase MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive tools for interacting with Supabase databases, storage, and edge functions. This server enables seamless integration between Supabase services and MCP-compatible applications.

Overview

The Supabase MCP server acts as a bridge between MCP clients and Supabase's suite of services, providing:

Database operations with rich querying capabilities
Storage management for files and assets
Edge function invocation
Project and organization management
User authentication and management
Role-based access control

Architecture

The server is built using TypeScript and follows a modular architecture:

supabase-server/
├── src/
│   ├── index.ts              # Main server implementation
│   └── types/
│       └── supabase.d.ts     # Type definitions
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── config.json.example       # Example configuration file
└── .env.example             # Environment variables template

Key Components

Server Class: Implements the MCP server interface and handles all client requests
Type Definitions: Comprehensive TypeScript definitions for all operations
Environment Configuration: Secure configuration management via environment variables
Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed error messages

Prerequisites

Node.js 16.x or higher
A Supabase project with:
- Project URL
- Service Role Key (for admin operations)
- Access Token (for management operations)
MCP-compatible client
