Supabase MCP + Cursor is a must-try combo for AI-powered backend development. In this video, I’ll show you how to use the Supabase MCP server with Cursor to automate your database setup.

PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend restricting the Supabase MCP server to read-only queries by setting the --read-only flag, to avoid potential security issues.


🧠 Say goodbye to context-switching. With MCP Superpowers, Cursor can now connect to your Supabase database, generate types, run SQL queries, manage migrations, and even build features – all using natural language prompts inside your IDE.
