Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is an MCP Server? A: MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that allows applications to provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). An MCP server acts as a bridge, allowing AI models to access and interact with external data sources and tools.

Q: Why do I need a Self-Hosted Supabase MCP Server? A: If you are using a self-hosted Supabase instance, the official Supabase cloud MCP server may not be suitable for your needs. The Self-Hosted Supabase MCP Server provides a streamlined and focused implementation of the MCP protocol, tailored for single-project environments.

Q: What are the benefits of using this server? A: The server offers seamless integration with MCP-based tools, database introspection, simplified management, enhanced security, and a streamlined workflow.

Q: What tools are included in the server? A: The server includes tools for schema and migrations, database operations and stats, project configuration and keys, development and extension, auth user management, storage insights, and realtime inspection.

Q: What configuration is required? A: You need to provide the URL and anonymous key for your Supabase project. Optionally, you can provide the service key, database URL, and JWT secret for additional functionality.

Q: How do I install the server? A: Clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the project using npm.

Q: How do I use the server with an MCP client? A: Configure your MCP client (e.g., Cursor, VS Code Copilot) to use the server by providing the path to the server executable and the necessary configuration parameters.

Q: What is UBOS? A: UBOS is a full-stack AI Agent development platform that helps you orchestrate AI Agents, connect them with your enterprise data, build custom AI Agents with your LLM model, and develop Multi-Agent Systems.

Q: How does the Self-Hosted Supabase MCP Server integrate with UBOS? A: By combining the server with the UBOS platform, you can create powerful AI-driven applications that leverage your Supabase data and integrate seamlessly into your existing business processes.

Q: Where can I find more information? A: Please refer to the documentation and examples provided in the repository for detailed instructions and usage guidelines.
