## 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 / refactor. ## What is the current behavior? The dashboard assistant runs `@supabase/mcp-server-supabase` in-process over an in-memory transport (`lib/ai/supabase-mcp.ts`). ## What is the new behavior? The assistant connects to the **remote MCP server** over HTTP (`@ai-sdk/mcp`), forwarding the dashboard session token as a bearer. URL comes from `NEXT_PUBLIC_MCP_URL` with a local-dev fallback; platform-only, and Nimbus works via the same env var. * **Tool model unchanged:** UI-controlled `execute_sql` (with `needsApproval`) and `deploy_edge_function` still come from Studio; the allowlist (`TOOL_CATEGORY_MAP`) remains the gate keeping the remote's write tools away from the assistant (`read_only` is defense-in-depth). * **Attribution:** sends `x-source-name: supabase-studio` (+ `x-source-version`) → logged as `source_name`/`client_name`. * **Connection lifecycle:** the HTTP client is closed via the request's `AbortSignal` (tools execute later during streaming); `signal` is required on `getTools`/`getMcpTools`. * **Resilience:** a remote-MCP failure degrades to the remaining tools instead of failing the assistant. * **Drift protection:** relied-upon tools are typed against `keyof typeof supabaseMcpToolSchemas`, so a package bump that renames/removes one fails `pnpm typecheck`; a runtime check also warns if the deployed server returns fewer tools. * Adds unit tests for the above. ## Additional context * Verified end-to-end against a local remote MCP server with a dashboard token: `initialize` 200, tools listed, a tool executed, client closed cleanly. * The remote MCP (mgmt-api) already accepts dashboard session tokens (GoTrue-JWT auth path) — no backend change needed. `NEXT_PUBLIC_MCP_URL` must point at each env's `/mcp`. * `@supabase/mcp-server-supabase` is kept — still used by the self-hosted `/api/mcp` routes. Closes [AI-137](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/AI-137/switch-dashboard-assistant-to-remote-mcp) ## Rollout * **Rollout:** merges with `USE_REMOTE_MCP` off (in-process); flip it to `true` per environment (staging → prod → Nimbus) once each one's prerequisites land. * **Rollback:** unset `USE_REMOTE_MCP` and redeploy to fall back to the in-process client — no revert needed. ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved AI request handling so tool loading and generation clean up properly when a request is cancelled or the browser connection closes. * Added safer fallback behavior when remote tool loading fails, so AI features can continue with available tools instead of stopping entirely. * Updated remote tool access to use the current project reference and preserve the correct access headers. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * AI tools now connect more reliably to remote services and stop cleanly when requests end or are canceled. * Tool loading is more resilient, continuing with available tools if remote access is unavailable. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved cleanup to prevent lingering connections during SQL generation and policy workflows. * Added safer handling for remote tool changes and invalid responses. * **Tests** * Expanded automated coverage for remote tool setup, cancellation, and fallback behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

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.
- 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.
- Kong is a cloud-native API gateway.
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.
