The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with platforms like Supabase, allowing for agent-like experiences where LLMs can call tools on behalf of users. The MCP server connects AI tools to Supabase, enabling tasks such as launching databases, managing tables, and querying data. The protocol standardizes the tool ecosystem, decoupling clients from tool providers, and allows users to bring their own tools as long as they implement MCP. Resources and prompts are also incorporated into the protocol, enabling servers to expose arbitrary data and content for clients to use as context for LLMs. Future developments include native authorization support, better schema discovery, and more protections like auto-detecting destructive operations and requiring confirmation before executing them. The Supabase MCP server is designed to bridge the gap between AI tools and databases, allowing developers to focus on building instead of context-switching between tools.
