# Supabase Data Analyst

A Slack-native Eve analyst for a single Supabase project that only runs read-only SQL queries. It exposes just supabase__list_tables and supabase__execute_sql through an MCP client connection to the hosted Supabase MCP server; no write, migration, Edge Function, branch, storage, logs, advisors, account, or docs tools are available.

## Overview

Supabase Data Analyst is an eve agent that lives in Slack and answers questions about a single Supabase project with read-only SQL. Mention it in a channel or send it a DM, and it inspects your schema, writes one focused query, runs it through the hosted Supabase MCP server, and replies with an aggregate answer in plain language instead of raw row dumps.

The agent is deliberately narrow: it exposes exactly two tools, supabase__list_tables for schema inspection and supabase__execute_sql for read-only SELECT queries. The MCP connection is pinned to read_only=true and features=database, a client-side allow list hides every other database tool, and the config loader rejects any attempt to set SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_READ_ONLY to false or request other feature groups at startup.

It is also scoped to one project by design. SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF is required whenever the MCP URL points at the hosted endpoint, so your account-level Supabase personal access token can never reach other projects in the account. That makes it a safe way to give a team self-serve analytics over a development or preview database.

## How it works

1. A teammate mentions the agent in a Slack channel or DMs it; events arrive on the /eve/v1/slack route through a Vercel Connect Slack client identified by SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_SLACK_CONNECT_UID.
2. The model, zai/glm-5.2, uses eve's built-in connection_search to discover the Supabase MCP connection, where only list_tables and execute_sql are visible thanks to the tools.allow list in agent/connections/supabase.ts.
3. For unfamiliar tables it first calls supabase__list_tables to inspect the schema, and asks a clarifying question if the metric, time range, or grain is ambiguous.
4. It then writes a single read-only SQL query and runs it with supabase__execute_sql against the hosted server at https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp, authenticated with your Supabase personal access token and scoped by project_ref, read_only=true, and features=database.
5. It interprets the result for Slack, stating assumptions, filters, units, and date windows, and it never pastes API keys, service role keys, or access tokens into the channel even if a query returns them.
6. Two bundled evals enforce this contract: one checks the agent refuses migration requests and proposes a read-only alternative, the other checks it redacts a leaked API key when summarizing query results.

## Use cases

### Self-serve product metrics in Slack

Let product managers ask questions like total signups by month for the last 6 months directly in a channel. The agent inspects the schema, runs one aggregate SELECT, and replies with the numbers plus the assumptions it made.

### Schema exploration for new teammates

New engineers can DM the agent to ask which tables exist and how they relate. supabase__list_tables gives them an instant map of a development project without dashboard access or a local database connection.

### Safe analytics over a preview branch

Point the agent at a development project or preview branch and give a whole workspace query access with no write risk: reads are enforced server-side by read_only=true and client-side by the two-tool allow list.

### Guardrailed alternative to raw SQL access

Instead of sharing database credentials, teams get an analyst that refuses writes, migrations, and admin operations by design, and suggests a read-only alternative whenever someone asks for something it cannot do.

## Requirements

- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_ACCESS_TOKEN`: A Supabase personal access token used as the Bearer token on every MCP request. Generate it in your Supabase account settings and name it for this agent. Startup fails without it.
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF`: The ref of the one project the agent may query, copied from the Supabase dashboard URL or project settings. Required for the hosted MCP server; optional only when the MCP URL points at a local Supabase CLI server.
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL`: The Supabase MCP endpoint, defaulting to https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp. Override it with http://localhost:54321/mcp to develop against a local Supabase CLI MCP server.
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_READ_ONLY`: Must be true (the default). The config loader rejects false at startup, so every query executes as a read-only Postgres user on the server side.
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_FEATURES`: Must be database (the default). Any other Supabase MCP feature group is rejected at startup because those groups expose non-query operations like migrations, Edge Functions, and account management.
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_SLACK_CONNECT_UID`: The Vercel Connect UID for the Slack client, created with vercel connect create slack --triggers and attached to the /eve/v1/slack route. Defaults to slack/supabase-data-analyst.
- `@vercel/connect and eve`: Runtime dependencies: eve ^0.31.3 provides the agent framework, Slack channel, and MCP client connection; ai ^7.0.38 satisfies Eve's model SDK peer; @vercel/connect ^0.2.6 supplies the Slack credentials via connectSlackCredentials. Node 24 or newer is required.

## FAQ

### How do I install it?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @evex/supabase-data-analyst inside an existing eve app, install the listed dependencies, set the SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_* environment variables, deploy the app somewhere Slack can reach over HTTPS, and connect Slack with vercel connect create slack --triggers.

### Can it modify my database?

No. The MCP connection is pinned to read_only=true so the server runs every query as a read-only Postgres user, only list_tables and execute_sql pass the client-side allow list, and the config loader refuses to start if you try to disable read-only mode. A bundled eval verifies it declines migration requests.

### Which model does it use, and can I change it?

The agent is defined with zai/glm-5.2 in agent/agent.ts. Because it is a standard eve agent definition, you can swap the model string for any model your eve deployment supports and adjust agent/instructions.md to tune its analyst behavior.

### Is it safe to point at production data?

The README advises against it. Supabase MCP is designed for development and testing, and read-only access can still expose sensitive rows. Use a development project, preview branch, or obfuscated data, and only in workspaces whose members may see that data.

### Can it access other projects in my Supabase account?

No. The connection URL always sets project_ref, and the config loader fails startup if SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF is missing while the MCP URL points at a non-localhost host, precisely so the account-level personal access token cannot reach your other projects.

# Mission
You are a careful Supabase data analyst in Slack. You help people understand a
single configured Supabase project through schema inspection and read-only
analytical SQL served by the Supabase MCP connection.

# Operating rules
- This agent only runs read-only SQL queries. The only tools available are
  `supabase__list_tables` and `supabase__execute_sql`. No other Supabase tools
  are exposed, and no write, migration, Edge Function, branch, storage, logs,
  advisors, account, or docs operations are possible.
- Treat the Supabase project as read-only. Never claim write access and never
  attempt to mutate data, schema, or configuration. If a request requires a
  write or non-query operation, say it cannot be done and propose a read-only
  alternative.
- The Supabase MCP connection is configured with `read_only=true`,
  `features=database`, and a tool allow-list of `list_tables` and `execute_sql`.
  If a tool call is rejected, do not retry with a different tool; revise the
  request into a simpler read-only question.
- Inspect schema metadata with `supabase__list_tables` before querying
  unfamiliar tables.
- Ask a clarifying question when the metric definition, time range, table
  choice, or grain is ambiguous.
- Prefer aggregate answers and concise explanations over raw row dumps.
- Explain assumptions, filters, units, date windows, and caveats in the final
  answer.
- Return only the rows needed to answer the question. Do not expose credentials,
  API keys, service tokens, or unnecessary sensitive row-level data. Never
  paste publishable keys, service role keys, or personal access tokens into
  Slack, even if a tool returns them.
- If a query is rejected, revise it into a simpler read-only SELECT over allowed
  tables.

# Workflow
1. Use `connection_search` to discover the Supabase MCP connection's tools when
   you do not already know the qualified name. Only `supabase__list_tables` and
   `supabase__execute_sql` will appear.
2. Use `supabase__list_tables` when you need table context before querying.
3. Write one read-only SQL query that answers the question directly, then run it
   with `supabase__execute_sql`.
4. Interpret the result in plain language for Slack.
5. If the result is incomplete or truncated, say so and narrow the question
   before issuing broader SQL.

# Supabase Data Analyst

An Eve-native Slack analyst for a single Supabase project. It answers Slack
mentions and DMs with schema inspection and read-only SQL through the hosted
Supabase MCP server. The agent can only run read-only SQL queries: it exposes
just `supabase__list_tables` and `supabase__execute_sql`, and nothing else.

## Install

Install this registry item into an existing Eve app:

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @evex/supabase-data-analyst
```

Then install the public runtime dependencies listed by the registry item.

## How it answers

The agent uses Eve's MCP client connection (`agent/connections/supabase.ts`) to
talk to the Supabase remote MCP server. The model discovers Supabase tools
through the built-in `connection_search` and calls them by their qualified name.

This agent only runs read-only SQL queries. The only tools it exposes are:

- `supabase__list_tables` — list tables in the database, for schema inspection.
- `supabase__execute_sql` — run a read-only SQL query.

No other Supabase MCP tools are available. Write tools, migrations, Edge
Functions, branches, storage, logs, advisors, account management, project
URL/key helpers, and docs search are all excluded.

The connection URL is built from env vars and always sets:

- `project_ref` to scope the server to one Supabase project (required for the
  hosted endpoint; optional only for a local Supabase CLI MCP server where the
  project is implicit),
- `read_only=true` so the server executes every query as a read-only Postgres
  user,
- `features=database` so the server only publishes the database tool group.

A client-side `tools.allow` list in `agent/connections/supabase.ts` further
restricts discovery to `list_tables` and `execute_sql`, so even if the server
advertises other database tools (such as `apply_migration`, `list_extensions`,
`list_migrations`) the model never sees them. `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_READ_ONLY`
cannot be set to `false` and `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_FEATURES` only accepts
`database`; the config loader rejects anything else at startup.
`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF` is required when
`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL` points at the hosted Supabase MCP server (or any
non-localhost host); without it the config loader fails startup because the
account-level access token would otherwise be able to reach every project in the
Supabase account, breaking the single-project promise.

## Start using it in Slack

This agent uses Eve's documented Slack channel path through Vercel Connect. Do
not create or manage `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` variables.

Before connecting Slack, make sure the Eve app that installed this registry item
is deployed on Vercel or otherwise reachable through HTTPS. Slack events must be
able to reach the Eve Slack route:

```text
/eve/v1/slack
```

Create the Slack Connect client from the Vercel project used by the Eve app:

```bash
npm install -g vercel@latest
vercel connect create slack --triggers
```

This command is the Slack installation step. It creates the Vercel Connect
connector and opens the Slack authorization flow. Choose the Slack workspace
where the agent should live and approve the app installation there. If the CLI
prints an authorization URL instead of opening a browser, open that URL and
complete the Slack install.

After authorization succeeds, copy the UID printed by the command. Then attach
that Slack client to Eve's Slack route:

```bash
vercel connect detach <uid> --yes
vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
```

Set the same UID in the Eve app environment and redeploy the app:

```env
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_SLACK_CONNECT_UID=<uid>
```

The default UID used by the agent is `slack/supabase-data-analyst`.

After the app is deployed:

1. Open the same Slack workspace that you authorized during
   `vercel connect create slack --triggers`.
2. Find the Slack app that was installed during that authorization flow.
3. Add the app to every channel where it should answer.
4. In a channel, mention the app and ask a database question.
5. In a DM, message the app directly.

If you cannot find the app in Slack, the Slack authorization step was not
completed for that workspace. Run `vercel connect create slack --triggers`
again from the Vercel project, authorize the correct workspace, attach the new
UID to `/eve/v1/slack`, update `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_SLACK_CONNECT_UID`, and
redeploy.

Good first prompts:

```text
What tables are there in the database? Use the Supabase MCP tools.
```

```text
Show total signups by month for the last 6 months.
```

If the agent does not answer, verify:

- `eve info --json` lists a Slack channel with `urlPath: "/eve/v1/slack"`;
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_SLACK_CONNECT_UID` exactly matches the Vercel Connect
  UID;
- the Connect trigger is attached with `--trigger-path /eve/v1/slack`;
- the app was redeployed after setting env vars;
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_ACCESS_TOKEN` is a valid Supabase personal access
  token;
- `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF` matches the project the token can access
  and is set (the config loader fails startup if it is missing while
  `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL` points at the hosted endpoint).

## Supabase setup

The agent talks to the hosted Supabase MCP server at
`https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp`. It authenticates with a Supabase personal
access token (PAT) sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every MCP request.

1. Do not connect the agent to production data. Supabase MCP is designed for
   development and testing. Use a development project, a preview branch, or a
   project with obfuscated data.
2. In your Supabase account, generate a personal access token. Name it for this
   agent, e.g. `Supabase Data Analyst MCP token`.
3. Copy the target project's ref from the Supabase dashboard URL or project
   settings.
4. Set the runtime environment:

```env
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_ACCESS_TOKEN=<supabase-pat>
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF=<project-ref>
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_READ_ONLY=true
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_FEATURES=database
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL=https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp
SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_SLACK_CONNECT_UID=slack/supabase-data-analyst
```

`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF` is required for the hosted Supabase MCP
server. It scopes the connection to a single project so the account-level PAT
cannot reach other projects in the same Supabase account. The config loader
fails startup if it is missing while `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL` points at a
non-localhost host. It may be omitted only when
`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL` points at a local Supabase CLI MCP server
(`http://localhost:54321/mcp`), where the project is implicit.

`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_READ_ONLY` must be `true` (the default). The config
loader rejects `false` at startup because this agent only runs read-only SQL
queries.

`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_FEATURES` must be `database` (the default). The config
loader rejects any other feature group, because every other group exposes
non-query operations (migrations, Edge Functions, branches, storage, logs,
advisors, account management, project URL/key helpers, docs search). Keeping
`features=database` makes the Supabase MCP server publish only database tools,
and the client-side `tools.allow` list in `agent/connections/supabase.ts`
further narrows that to `list_tables` and `execute_sql`.

`SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_MCP_URL` defaults to the hosted endpoint. Override it to
point at a local Supabase CLI MCP server (`http://localhost:54321/mcp`) during
local development; in that case `SUPABASE_DATA_ANALYST_PROJECT_REF` may be
omitted.

## Runtime contract

Read-only access can still expose sensitive data. Do not point this agent at a
project with PII unless the Slack workspace and channel audience are allowed to
see that data. The agent's instructions tell the model never to paste
publishable keys, service role keys, or personal access tokens into Slack, even
if a tool returns them.

The agent cannot write, migrate, deploy, branch, or configure anything. If a
Slack request needs one of those operations, the agent says it cannot be done
and proposes a read-only SQL alternative.
