Q: What kind of data can I access with this server? A: You can access any data stored in your Supabase PostgreSQL database, subject to the access permissions configured in Supabase.

Q: What are the available resources? A: Available resources include schema://tables (lists all tables in the database) and schema://table/{tableName} (shows schema for a specific table).

Q: What tools are available? A: Available tools include query (runs read-only SQL queries), analyze-table (gets basic statistics about a table), and find-related-tables (discovers tables related to a given table).

Q: What prompts are available? A: Available prompts include table-exploration (guides exploration of a specific table), data-summary (creates a summary of data in a table), and relationship-analysis (analyzes relationships between tables).
