Examples
List Projects and Tables
import { list_projects, list_tables } from '@connections/supabase';
const projects = await list_projects({});
const tables = await list_tables({ project_id: 'your-project-id' });
Execute SQL Query
import { execute_sql } from '@connections/supabase';
const result = await execute_sql({
project_id: 'your-project-id',
query: 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE created_at > now() - interval '7 days''
});
Branch-Based Development
import { create_branch, apply_migration, merge_branch } from '@connections/supabase';
// Create feature branch
await create_branch({
project_id: 'your-project-id',
name: 'feature/auth'
});
// Apply migration to branch
await apply_migration({
project_id: 'your-project-id',
sql: 'ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN role TEXT;'
});
// Merge when ready
await merge_branch({
project_id: 'your-project-id',
branch_id: 'branch-id'
});
Deploy Edge Function
import { deploy_edge_function } from '@connections/supabase';
await deploy_edge_function({
project_id: 'your-project-id',
name: 'hello-world',
code: 'Deno.serve(() => new Response("Hello!"))'
});
Security Best Practices
| Practice |
Description |
| Use dev projects |
Don't connect MCP to production databases |
| Read-only mode |
Enable for real data access scenarios |
| Project scoping |
Limit access to specific projects only |
| Review queries |
Always review SQL before execution |
Common Errors
| Error |
Solution |
| Authentication failed |
Re-authenticate via OAuth flow |
| Project not found |
Verify project ID and permissions |
| Migration failed |
Check SQL syntax and dependencies |
| Rate limited |
Reduce request frequency |
| 422 |

Output Format
Present results as a structured report:
Managing Supabase Report
════════════════════════
Resources discovered: [count]
Resource Status Key Metric Issues
──────────────────────────────────────────────
[name] [ok/warn] [value] [findings]
Summary: [total] resources | [ok] healthy | [warn] warnings | [crit] critical
Action Items: [list of prioritized findings]
Target ≤50 lines of output. Use tables for multi-resource comparisons.
Anti-Hallucination Rules
- NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
- NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or
--help output.
- NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
- ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
- ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.
Counter-Rationalizations
| Shortcut |
Counter |
Why |
| "I'll skip discovery and check known resources" |
Always run Phase 1 discovery first |
Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors |
| "The user only asked for a quick check" |
Follow the full discovery → analysis flow |
Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures |
| "Default configuration is probably fine" |
Audit configuration explicitly |
Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled |
| "Metrics aren't needed for this" |
Always check relevant metrics when available |
API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues |
| "I don't have access to that" |
Try the command and report the actual error |
Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative |
