Best for
  • Developers and teams using Supabase
  • Users wanting to integrate AI into database workflows
  • Teams already using ClickHouse who want AI assistants to access data directly.
  • Scenarios requiring fast, read-only data queries and schema exploration.
  • Teams that want precise control over which database operations an AI can perform, rather than open arbitrary SQL execution
  • Scenarios needing a unified MCP setup across multiple database engines
Not for
  • Users not using Supabase
  • Scenarios requiring fully local and cloud-free operations (CLI has limited features)
  • Scenarios requiring write access to the database without explicit opt-in.
  • Production environments with stringent security requirements that avoid default permission settings.
  • Lightweight cases that just want to run a few ad-hoc SQL queries without maintaining a tools.yaml config (a simpler single-database MCP may be a better fit)
Required permissions
  • Requires Supabase access token (SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN)
  • May require OAuth 2.1 authorization (remote)
  • Read/write by default; read-only mode available (--read-only)
  • Requires read-only access to ClickHouse database (default).
  • Optional: write access via CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_WRITE_ACCESS.
  • Optional: destructive operations via CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_DROP.
  • Database credentials (username/password/connection string) are supplied via env vars or config
  • A tool's actual permission is whatever SQL statement is defined in tools.yaml — designed for least privilege, but misconfiguration can still over-expose access
Risks and side effects
  • LLM may execute destructive operations such as dropping tables or deleting data
  • Token leakage could lead to unauthorized access
  • Remote server may log requests, posing privacy concerns
  • If write access is enabled, AI might make unintended modifications.
  • If DROP access is enabled, data deletion could occur accidentally.
  • Credentials may be exposed via environment variables.
  • If tools.yaml defines SQL statements that allow unconstrained writes or deletes, the AI could accidentally modify data
  • The prebuilt toolsets (--prebuilt) favor convenience and may expose broader query capability than a specific business actually needs — use a custom tools.yaml in production
