Pedro RodriguesandClaude Sonnet 5 22d7bc0cfd feat(studio-evals): custom search_docs tool for the eval harness (no token / no PAT) (#50092)
- Eval harness's only live tool, `search_docs`, no longer needs the
in-process MCP client or its dummy token — it now calls the public docs
GraphQL API (`https://supabase.com/docs/api/graphql`) directly. Low risk
as this is an eval-harness change only. Production assistant path
(`mcp-tools.ts`) untouched.

**Update:** per [@mattrossman's
review](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/50092#discussion_r3980396341),
the eval tool's description embeds the Content API's own GraphQL schema
(fetched via a `{ schema }` query and minified with `gqlmin`), mirroring
how `@supabase/mcp-server-supabase`'s `docs-tools.ts`/`loadSchema`
populates production's `search_docs` description. Without it, the model
had no schema to work from and issued malformed queries, which caused
the 218 `search_docs` errors and the -25pp Docs Faithfulness regression
in the first eval run on this PR. Schema loading is required:
`createSearchDocsTool()` rejects if the schema fetch fails, so preflight
and the gated eval job fail loudly instead of producing untrustworthy
fallback results. `createSearchDocsTool` is async because the `ai`
package's `tool()` only accepts a plain string `description`, unlike the
MCP SDK's async description support; both callers (`getMockTools`,
`evals/preflight.ts`) await it. `gqlmin` is a direct `apps/studio`
dependency and was already transitive via
`@supabase/mcp-server-supabase`.

### Verification
- `pnpm -C apps/studio exec -- tsc --noEmit` reaches the compiler; it
reports only the pre-existing unrelated
`packages/ui-patterns/src/McpUrlBuilder/components/InstructionBlocks.tsx`
`StaticImageData` error.
- `pnpm -C apps/studio exec -- vitest run
lib/ai/tools/mock-tools.test.ts lib/ai/tools/mcp-tools.test.ts` — 21/21
passed.
- `pnpm exec tsx evals/preflight.ts` — live docs API schema fetch and
search_docs call passed.
- `NEXT_PUBLIC_CONTENT_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:1/graphql pnpm -C
apps/studio exec -- tsx evals/preflight.ts` — failed fast as expected,
proving schema/API failures gate evals.
- Fresh `run-evals` pass: Docs Faithfulness 55.7% (0pp), with no
systemic `search_docs` regression.

Risk: eval-harness-only; schema/API outage now fails the eval job before
scoring rather than allowing fallback descriptions.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added documentation search powered by the public Supabase
documentation GraphQL API.
* Documentation search results now include live schema information and
clearer error handling for failed or invalid requests.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved evaluation tooling reliability by removing unnecessary
connection-abort behavior.
* Updated validation to detect missing search tools and malformed
documentation responses.

Supabase Studio

A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:

What's included

Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.

As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:

  • Table & SQL editors
    • Saved queries are unavailable
  • Database management
    • Policies, roles, extensions, replication
  • API documentation

Managing Project Settings

Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.

How to contribute?

  • Branch from master and name your branches with the following structure
    • {type}/{branch_name}
      • Type: chore | fix | feature
      • The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
  • When you send a PR to master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review.
  • Review the main contributing guide to help test your feature before sending a PR.
  • The Dashboard is under active development. You should run git pull frequently to make sure you're up to date.

Developer Quickstart

Note

Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal infrastructure repo.

# You'll need to be on Node v22
# in /studio

## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server

## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio  # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`

## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode

Running within a self-hosted environment

Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.

cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up

Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=

Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.

npm install
npm run dev

If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.

DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
