Supabase added a way to give your app its own AI MCP server
Supabase released an MCP server block that lets your customers interact with your app from ChatGPT and Claude using their existing accounts.
Summary
Supabase introduced a feature enabling applications to run their own Model Context Protocol server. Customers sign in using their existing credentials so tool calls execute under their identity, enforcing Row Level Security policies. Developers can install the block and let external AI clients interact directly with application data and workflows.
What changed
- Added an MCP Server block that copies an Edge Function into supabase/functions/mcp for handling requests and authentication.
- Used Supabase Auth to handle OAuth flows and carry user identity into every tool call.
- Enabled Row Level Security enforcement by supplying handlers with the signed-in user's Supabase client.
- Integrated support for MCP Apps to display app UI components inside chat interfaces like ChatGPT.

Founder takeaway
