Frequently asked questions

What is the Supabase MCP server?

It is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — a small piece of software that gives AI assistants like Claude a secure, governed connection to Supabase. Database management, authentication, storage, and edge functions. Build and manage full-stack backends.

Is there an official Supabase MCP server?

Yes. The Supabase MCP server is an official integration, maintained by the vendor or the Model Context Protocol project, which makes it the safest default for business use. It is maintained by Supabase.

Is the Supabase MCP server hosted, or do I run it myself?

It is hosted. Supabase runs the endpoint at https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install: you add the URL to your AI client and sign in with your Supabase account.

Do I need an API key for the Supabase MCP server?

No API key is needed for the hosted server. You sign in through Supabase's own OAuth screen, and the assistant only gets the access your account has.

What can an AI assistant actually do with Supabase?

Through this server an assistant can work with database, auth, storage, edge functions — reading from and acting on Supabase directly instead of you copy-pasting between windows. What you allow it to do is controlled by the permissions you grant.

How do I set this up for my business?

The setup section above has copy-paste config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. If you want it rolled out across a team with permissions, governance and support handled, that is what Crox's Build engagement covers.
