get_postgres_config
Get PostgreSQL configuration for a Supabase project
get_project
Provide the project ref (e.g. "abcxyz123456"). Get details for a specific Supabase project
get_user
Returns user ID, email, name and account metadata. Use this to verify your token is working correctly. Get the authenticated Supabase user
list_branches
Branches are isolated copies of the project database used for preview environments and development. Returns branch name, status, creation date and parent branch info. List branches for a Supabase project
list_organizations
Each organization can contain multiple projects. Returns organization ID, name and creation date. List Supabase organizations
