Install

Postgres MCP Pro

Claude Code

claude mcp add postgres -e DATABASE_URI=<connection-string> -- uvx postgres-mcp --access-mode=restricted

Cursor (mcp.json)

"postgres": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["postgres-mcp", "--access-mode=restricted"], "env": { "DATABASE_URI": "<connection-string>" } }

Needs uv/uvx installed and a Postgres connection string. --access-mode=unrestricted allows writes; restricted is read-only.

Supabase MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add supabase -e SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN=<token> -- npx -y @supabase/mcp-server-supabase@latest --read-only --project-ref=<project-ref>

Cursor (mcp.json)

"supabase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@supabase/mcp-server-supabase@latest", "--read-only", "--project-ref=<project-ref>"], "env": { "SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<token>" } }

Needs a Supabase personal access token. Drop --read-only only once you actually want the agent applying migrations.
