Provides a minimal template for bootstrapping an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with standard lifecycle hooks. Implements the MCP server specification by exposing initialization, request handling, and shutdown patterns through a Node.js-based server that listens for MCP protocol messages over stdio or network transport. The template establishes the foundational server structure needed to respond to client connections and route incoming MCP requests to appropriate handlers.
Unique: Provides the absolute minimal MCP server implementation as a starting point, stripping away all non-essential code to expose the core protocol handling pattern without framework abstractions or opinionated architectural choices
vs alternatives: Simpler and more transparent than full MCP SDK frameworks, making it ideal for learning the protocol or building highly custom servers, but requires more manual implementation compared to higher-level MCP server libraries
Implements a basic message echo mechanism that receives MCP protocol requests and returns them as responses, demonstrating the request-response cycle without business logic. Routes incoming messages through a handler that parses the MCP JSON-RPC format, identifies the message type (tool call, resource request, etc.), and echoes the content back to the client. This pattern establishes the foundation for replacing the echo logic with actual tool implementations or resource handlers.
Unique: Provides the most minimal possible message routing implementation, directly echoing requests without any transformation or processing, making the protocol mechanics completely transparent and easy to understand
vs alternatives: More educational and transparent than production MCP servers, but lacks the error handling, validation, and business logic that real servers require
Ensures outgoing responses conform to the MCP protocol specification by structuring messages as valid JSON-RPC 2.0 objects with required fields (id, jsonrpc version, result/error). The server validates that responses include proper message envelopes before transmission to clients. This capability guarantees that even a minimal echo server produces protocol-compliant output that MCP clients can parse and process without errors.
Unique: Implements protocol compliance as a core concern from the template level, ensuring that even minimal server implementations produce specification-compliant output without additional configuration
vs alternatives: More explicit about protocol requirements than some MCP frameworks that abstract away message formatting, making it clearer what compliance means in practice
Establishes bidirectional communication with MCP clients using standard input/output streams (stdin/stdout), allowing the server to receive messages on stdin and transmit responses on stdout. This transport mechanism is the standard for MCP servers running as child processes, enabling integration with desktop applications like Claude that spawn MCP servers as subprocesses. The implementation handles line-delimited JSON message parsing and serialization for reliable stdio-based communication.
Unique: Uses stdio as the primary transport mechanism, which is the standard for MCP servers but requires careful handling of line-delimited JSON and process lifecycle management
vs alternatives: More suitable for subprocess-based integration than network transports, but less flexible than HTTP or WebSocket transports for distributed deployments
Manages the server lifecycle including process initialization, signal handling for graceful shutdown, and cleanup of resources. The template implements basic process event handlers (SIGINT, SIGTERM) to ensure the server terminates cleanly when signaled by the parent process. This capability ensures the server can be reliably started and stopped by MCP clients without leaving orphaned processes or resource leaks.
Unique: Provides minimal but correct signal handling for process lifecycle, establishing the pattern for clean shutdown without over-engineering or adding unnecessary complexity
vs alternatives: Simpler than full process management frameworks but more robust than servers with no signal handling, suitable for subprocess-based deployments
Executes SQL queries against Supabase PostgreSQL instances through the Model Context Protocol, translating natural language or structured query requests into parameterized SQL statements. Uses MCP's tool-calling interface to expose database operations as callable functions with schema validation, enabling LLM agents to perform CRUD operations, joins, and aggregations with automatic connection pooling and credential management through Supabase client SDK.
Unique: Exposes Supabase PostgreSQL as MCP tools with automatic credential injection from Supabase client SDK, eliminating manual connection string management and enabling seamless LLM-to-database queries within Claude or compatible agents
vs alternatives: Tighter integration than generic SQL MCP servers because it leverages Supabase's built-in authentication and connection pooling rather than requiring separate database credential configuration
Exposes Supabase Auth session state and user metadata through MCP tools, allowing agents to inspect current authentication context, retrieve user profiles, and trigger auth-related operations. Integrates with Supabase's JWT-based auth system to validate sessions and access user claims without re-authenticating, using the Supabase client's built-in session management.
Unique: Integrates Supabase's JWT-based auth system directly into MCP tool interface, allowing agents to inspect and act on auth state without managing separate credential stores or re-authentication flows
vs alternatives: More seamless than generic auth MCP servers because it leverages Supabase's built-in session management and avoids redundant credential passing between agent and auth system
Invokes Supabase Edge Functions (serverless TypeScript/JavaScript functions) through MCP tools, passing parameters and receiving results with optional streaming support. Uses Supabase's edge function HTTP API to trigger functions with automatic authentication headers and response parsing, enabling agents to execute custom business logic without embedding it in the agent itself.
Supabase scores higher at 42/100 vs mcp-echo-server at 22/100. mcp-echo-server leads on ecosystem, while Supabase is stronger on quality.

Unique: Exposes Supabase Edge Functions as MCP tools with automatic authentication and response parsing, allowing agents to invoke custom serverless logic without managing HTTP clients or credential injection
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic HTTP MCP tools because it handles Supabase-specific authentication, error handling, and response formatting automatically
Subscribes to real-time changes on Supabase tables through MCP's event streaming interface, using Supabase's PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY mechanism to push INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE events to agents. Maintains persistent WebSocket connections and filters events by table and row-level policies, enabling agents to react to database changes without polling.
Unique: Bridges Supabase's PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY real-time system with MCP's tool interface, enabling agents to subscribe to database changes without managing WebSocket connections or event serialization
vs alternatives: More efficient than polling-based approaches because it uses Supabase's native real-time infrastructure rather than repeated database queries
Manages files in Supabase Storage buckets through MCP tools, supporting upload, download, list, and delete operations with automatic authentication and path-based access control. Uses Supabase's S3-compatible storage API with built-in support for public/private buckets and signed URLs for temporary access, enabling agents to handle file I/O without managing cloud storage credentials.
Unique: Exposes Supabase Storage's S3-compatible API as MCP tools with automatic authentication and signed URL generation, eliminating the need for agents to manage cloud storage credentials or generate temporary access tokens
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic S3 MCP tools because it leverages Supabase's built-in bucket policies and authentication rather than requiring separate AWS credentials
Performs semantic similarity searches on vector embeddings stored in Supabase PostgreSQL using pgvector extension, translating natural language queries into embedding vectors and executing cosine/L2 distance searches. Integrates with embedding providers (OpenAI, Cohere) or uses pre-computed embeddings, enabling agents to retrieve semantically similar documents or records without full-text search limitations.
Unique: Integrates pgvector directly into MCP tools with automatic embedding generation and distance calculation, enabling agents to perform semantic search without managing separate vector database infrastructure
vs alternatives: More efficient than external vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate) for Supabase users because it colocates embeddings with relational data, reducing network latency and simplifying data synchronization
Exposes Supabase database schema information through MCP tools, allowing agents to discover table structures, column types, constraints, and relationships without manual schema documentation. Queries PostgreSQL information_schema and Supabase metadata tables to dynamically generate schema descriptions, enabling agents to construct valid queries and understand data relationships.
Unique: Queries Supabase's PostgreSQL information_schema directly through MCP tools, enabling agents to dynamically discover and adapt to database schemas without pre-configured schema definitions
vs alternatives: More flexible than static schema definitions because it reflects live database state, including recent migrations or schema changes
Enforces Supabase Row-Level Security policies within agent queries, ensuring that agents can only access rows permitted by RLS rules defined in the database. Evaluates policies based on authenticated user context (JWT claims, user ID) and applies WHERE clause filters automatically, preventing unauthorized data access at the database layer rather than application layer.
Unique: Delegates authorization enforcement to PostgreSQL RLS policies rather than implementing authorization in agent code, ensuring that data access rules are centralized and cannot be bypassed by agent logic
vs alternatives: More secure than application-level authorization because RLS is enforced at the database layer, preventing accidental data leaks even if agent code has bugs
