Prerequisites

  • Node.js >= 16.x
  • npm >= 8.x
  • A Supabase project with:
  • Cursor IDE or Codeium's Cascade (for paying users)

Quick Start

Installation

Configuration

  1. Install dependencies and build the project:
  1. In Cursor's MCP settings, add the server with this command:Replace:
Note: Keep your database credentials secure and never commit them to version control.

Integrations

Cursor MCP Integration

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows you to provide custom tools to agentic LLMs in Cursor. This server can be integrated with Cursor's Composer feature, providing direct access to all database management tools through natural language commands.

Setting up in Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings > Features > MCP
  1. Click the "+ Add New MCP Server" button
  1. Fill in the modal form:
  1. Build the project first:
  1. Get your Node.js path:
  1. Add the server command:Replace:
  1. Click "Add Server" and then click the refresh button in the top right corner

Using the Tools in Cursor

The Composer Agent will automatically detect and use relevant tools when you describe your database tasks. For example:
  • "List all tables in my database"
  • "Create a new users table"
  • "Add an index to the email column"
When the agent uses a tool, you'll see:
  1. A prompt to approve/deny the tool call
  1. The tool call arguments (expandable)
  1. The response after approval
Note: For stdio servers like this one, the command should be a valid shell command. If you need environment variables, consider using a wrapper script.

Windsurf/Cascade Integration

This MCP server also supports Codeium's Cascade (Windsurf) integration. Note that this feature is currently only available for paying individual users (not available for Teams or Enterprise users).

Setting up with Cascade

  1. Create or edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
  1. Quick access to config:
  1. Replace in the configuration:
  1. In Cascade:

Important Notes for Cascade Users

  • Only tools functionality is supported (no prompts or resources)
  • MCP tool calls will consume credits regardless of success or failure
  • Image output is not supported
  • Only stdio transport type is supported
  • Tool calls can invoke code written by arbitrary server implementers
  • Cascade does not assume liability for MCP tool call failures

  • Seamless Integration: Works directly within Cursor's Composer and Codeium's Cascade
  • Developer Friendly: Reduces context switching between IDE and database management tools
  • Secure Access: Maintains your database security with proper authentication

Project Structure

Usage

Once configured, the MCP server provides all database management tools through Cursor's Composer. Simply describe what you want to do with your database, and the AI will use the appropriate commands.
Examples:
  • "Show me all tables in my database"
  • "Create a new users table with id, name, and email columns"
  • "Add an index on the email column of the users table"

Security Notes

  • Keep your database connection string secure
  • Never commit sensitive credentials to version control
  • Use appropriate access controls and permissions
  • Validate and sanitize all inputs to prevent SQL injection

Troubleshooting

Common Connection Issues

  1. Node.js Path Issues
  1. File Path Issues
  1. MCP Not Detecting Tools
  1. Permission Issues

Debug Mode
