19d7233580 feat(ui-library): add headless app block for TanStack Start (#49579)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature — a new UI Library block. Stacked on #49573 (already in main)

Fixes AI-1064

## What is the new behavior?

Adds `headless-app-tanstack`: customers sign in, authorize an MCP
client, and use the product through agent tool calls. It composes the
existing Password-Based Auth, OAuth Consent, and MCP Server blocks.

- `/agents` provides a copyable connection prompt, lists OAuth
authorizations, and lets customers revoke access.
- The shared MCP runtime exposes `whoami` plus example task CRUD tools.
Tools use the caller's Supabase client, with database grants and RLS
enforcing ownership.
- A root-level `supabase/` directory supplies local Auth/OAuth
configuration, a declarative tasks schema, and Edge Function files,
including `.env.example`.
- Docs cover local setup, signing keys, migrations, environment
configuration, deployment, and extending the tools.
`/example/headless-app` previews the sign-in, consent, connect, and
connected states.

Shared block fixes make a fresh install work:

- Explicit public URL resolution fixes OAuth discovery in local Edge
Runtime when middleware runtime detection fails. Both external OAuth
access tokens and ordinary authenticated app session tokens remain
supported; embedded agents do not need an additional consent flow.
- Registry targets keep backend files outside `src/`, and generated
consumer routes omit source-only TypeScript suppressions.
- Signup respects `auth.email.enable_confirmations`; sign-in/signup
preserve the return destination. Missing consent IDs retain the existing
error state without serializing `null` into the URL.

## How to test

Use the UI Library on **staging** and follow the block pages'
instructions.

1. Open the **Headless App** block page for TanStack Start. Install it
into a fresh app and follow the setup instructions through connecting an
MCP client.
2. Sign up, open `/agents`, and use the connection prompt to authorize a
client. Call `whoami`, then create, list, update, and delete a task.
3. Confirm the client appears on `/agents`. Revoke access and verify it
disappears and token refresh fails. An existing access token can
continue working until it expires.
4. Follow the **MCP Server** block page's embedded-agent instructions
using an authenticated app session. Confirm tools work without another
OAuth consent flow and `whoami` returns `client_id: null`.
5. With a second user, confirm each user can only access their own
tasks. Check that signup behaves correctly for the configured
email-confirmation setting.
6. Check the Headless App preview states and run the installed app's
typecheck and production build.

## Validation performed

Fresh local installation and browser/SDK verification passed: 26 live
MCP/Data API checks, 10 Deno tests, and 7 connection-page component
tests. Also passed UI Library typecheck, targeted lint,
registry/Markdown builds, and fresh consumer typecheck/production build.
Both OAuth and ordinary app session authentication were exercised.

Hosted deployment and consuming the confirmation-email link were not
tested.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
