Self-Hosted Supabase MCP Server

by abushadab

list_storage_objects

Retrieve and filter objects from a specific storage bucket in a self-hosted Supabase instance. Specify bucket ID, limit, offset, and prefix for customized results.

Instructions

Lists objects within a specific storage bucket, optionally filtering by prefix.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucket_idYesThe ID of the bucket to list objects from.
limitNoMax number of objects to return
offsetNoNumber of objects to skip
prefixNoFilter objects by a path prefix (e.g., 'public/')

Implementation Reference

  • The execute handler function that performs the core logic: builds and executes a parameterized SQL query on storage.objects table, applies filters, and returns validated list of objects.
    execute: async ( input: ListStorageObjectsInput, context: ToolContext ): Promise<ListStorageObjectsOutput> => { const client = context.selfhostedClient; const { bucket_id, limit, offset, prefix } = input; console.error(`Listing objects for bucket ${bucket_id} (Prefix: ${prefix || 'N/A'})...`); if (!client.isPgAvailable()) { context.log('Direct database connection (DATABASE_URL) is required to list storage objects.', 'error'); throw new Error('Direct database connection (DATABASE_URL) is required to list storage objects.'); } // Use a transaction to get access to the pg client for parameterized queries const objects = await client.executeTransactionWithPg(async (pgClient: PoolClient) => { // Build query with parameters let sql = ` SELECT id, name, bucket_id, owner, version, metadata ->> 'mimetype' AS mimetype, metadata ->> 'size' AS size, -- Extract size from metadata metadata, created_at::text, updated_at::text, last_accessed_at::text FROM storage.objects WHERE bucket_id = $1 `; const params: (string | number)[] = [bucket_id]; let paramIndex = 2; if (prefix) { sql += ` AND name LIKE $${paramIndex++}`; params.push(`${prefix}%`); } sql += ' ORDER BY name ASC NULLS FIRST'; sql += ` LIMIT $${paramIndex++}`; params.push(limit); sql += ` OFFSET $${paramIndex++}`; params.push(offset); sql += ';'; console.error('Executing parameterized SQL to list storage objects within transaction...'); const result = await pgClient.query(sql, params); // Raw pg result // Explicitly pass result.rows, which matches the expected structure // of SqlSuccessResponse (unknown[]) for handleSqlResponse. return handleSqlResponse(result.rows as SqlSuccessResponse, ListStorageObjectsOutputSchema); }); console.error(`Found ${objects.length} objects.`); context.log(`Found ${objects.length} objects.`); return objects; },
  • Zod schemas defining input parameters (bucket_id required, optional limit/offset/prefix) and output structure (array of StorageObject with fields like id, name, metadata). Also includes static MCP JSON input schema.
    // Input schema const ListStorageObjectsInputSchema = z.object({ bucket_id: z.string().describe('The ID of the bucket to list objects from.'), limit: z.number().int().positive().optional().default(100).describe('Max number of objects to return'), offset: z.number().int().nonnegative().optional().default(0).describe('Number of objects to skip'), prefix: z.string().optional().describe('Filter objects by a path prefix (e.g., \'public/\')'), }); type ListStorageObjectsInput = z.infer<typeof ListStorageObjectsInputSchema>; // Output schema const StorageObjectSchema = z.object({ id: z.string().uuid(), name: z.string().nullable(), // Name can be null according to schema bucket_id: z.string(), owner: z.string().uuid().nullable(), version: z.string().nullable(), // Get mimetype directly from SQL extraction mimetype: z.string().nullable(), // size comes from metadata size: z.string().pipe(z.coerce.number().int()).nullable(), // Keep raw metadata as well metadata: z.record(z.any()).nullable(), created_at: z.string().nullable(), updated_at: z.string().nullable(), last_accessed_at: z.string().nullable(), }); const ListStorageObjectsOutputSchema = z.array(StorageObjectSchema); type ListStorageObjectsOutput = z.infer<typeof ListStorageObjectsOutputSchema>; // Static JSON schema for MCP export const mcpInputSchema = { type: 'object', properties: { bucket_id: { type: 'string', description: 'The ID of the bucket to list objects from.' }, limit: { type: 'number', description: 'Max number of objects to return', default: 100 }, offset: { type: 'number', description: 'Number of objects to skip', default: 0 }, prefix: { type: 'string', description: "Filter objects by a path prefix (e.g., 'public/')" }, }, required: ['bucket_id'], };
