Implements an MCP server that exposes video files as base64-encoded blob resources through the Model Context Protocol, allowing Claude and other MCP clients to access video content as embedded data URIs. The server uses Node.js file I/O to read video files from disk, encodes them to base64 strings, and wraps them in MCP resource objects with appropriate MIME type metadata, enabling seamless integration of video content into LLM contexts without requiring external file hosting.
Unique: Demonstrates MCP resource serving pattern specifically for video content, using base64 blob encoding as a reference implementation for how to expose binary multimedia through the MCP protocol without requiring external storage or streaming infrastructure
vs alternatives: Simpler than building custom video streaming endpoints because it leverages MCP's native resource protocol and Claude's built-in resource handling, but trades off efficiency for simplicity by encoding entire videos into memory
Implements the MCP resource listing and metadata protocol, allowing clients to discover available video resources through standardized MCP endpoints. The server maintains a resource registry that exposes video file paths, MIME types, and resource URIs, enabling clients to query what video content is available before requesting full base64-encoded payloads. This follows MCP's resource discovery pattern where servers advertise capabilities and clients can introspect available resources.
Unique: Implements MCP's resource discovery specification for video content, providing a reference pattern for how servers should expose multimedia resources through standardized protocol endpoints rather than custom APIs
vs alternatives: More discoverable than hardcoded file paths because clients can introspect available resources at runtime, but less flexible than custom REST APIs that could support filtering, sorting, and pagination
Manages the complete MCP server lifecycle including protocol handshake, capability negotiation, and request routing. The server initializes the MCP protocol layer, declares supported resource types and tools, handles client connections, and routes incoming requests to appropriate handlers. This involves setting up the MCP transport (stdio or HTTP), registering resource endpoints, and managing the event loop for handling concurrent client requests according to MCP specification.
Unique: Provides a minimal reference implementation of MCP server initialization, demonstrating the exact protocol handshake and capability negotiation steps required to create an MCP-compatible server without framework abstractions
vs alternatives: More transparent than higher-level MCP frameworks because it shows raw protocol handling, but requires more boilerplate code compared to frameworks that abstract away protocol details
Handles the technical process of reading video files from disk, encoding them to base64 strings, and serializing them as MCP resource blobs. The implementation reads file buffers, applies base64 encoding, and wraps the encoded data in MCP resource objects with appropriate content-type headers. This enables video content to be embedded directly in MCP responses as data URIs, making videos accessible to LLM clients without requiring separate file downloads or external storage.
Unique: Demonstrates the specific pattern of encoding binary video data for MCP transmission, using base64 as the serialization format to ensure compatibility with JSON-based MCP protocol messages
vs alternatives: More compatible with JSON-based protocols than binary transmission because base64 is text-safe, but less efficient than binary formats or streaming approaches that avoid encoding overhead
Automatically detects video file formats and assigns appropriate MIME types (video/mp4, video/webm, etc.) based on file extensions or content inspection. The server includes MIME type mappings for common video formats and includes this metadata in MCP resource responses, enabling clients to understand the video format without additional inspection. This ensures proper content-type headers are set so clients can handle videos correctly.
Unique: Provides MIME type mapping specifically for video resources in MCP context, ensuring proper content-type headers are included in resource responses for client compatibility
vs alternatives: Simpler than content-based detection because it uses file extensions, but less robust than magic-byte inspection for handling misnamed or corrupted files
Executes SQL queries against Supabase PostgreSQL instances through the Model Context Protocol, translating natural language or structured query requests into parameterized SQL statements. Uses MCP's tool-calling interface to expose database operations as callable functions with schema validation, enabling LLM agents to perform CRUD operations, joins, and aggregations with automatic connection pooling and credential management through Supabase client SDK.
Unique: Exposes Supabase PostgreSQL as MCP tools with automatic credential injection from Supabase client SDK, eliminating manual connection string management and enabling seamless LLM-to-database queries within Claude or compatible agents
vs alternatives: Tighter integration than generic SQL MCP servers because it leverages Supabase's built-in authentication and connection pooling rather than requiring separate database credential configuration
Exposes Supabase Auth session state and user metadata through MCP tools, allowing agents to inspect current authentication context, retrieve user profiles, and trigger auth-related operations. Integrates with Supabase's JWT-based auth system to validate sessions and access user claims without re-authenticating, using the Supabase client's built-in session management.
Unique: Integrates Supabase's JWT-based auth system directly into MCP tool interface, allowing agents to inspect and act on auth state without managing separate credential stores or re-authentication flows
vs alternatives: More seamless than generic auth MCP servers because it leverages Supabase's built-in session management and avoids redundant credential passing between agent and auth system
Invokes Supabase Edge Functions (serverless TypeScript/JavaScript functions) through MCP tools, passing parameters and receiving results with optional streaming support. Uses Supabase's edge function HTTP API to trigger functions with automatic authentication headers and response parsing, enabling agents to execute custom business logic without embedding it in the agent itself.
Supabase scores higher at 42/100 vs @modelcontextprotocol/server-video-resource at 20/100.

Unique: Exposes Supabase Edge Functions as MCP tools with automatic authentication and response parsing, allowing agents to invoke custom serverless logic without managing HTTP clients or credential injection
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic HTTP MCP tools because it handles Supabase-specific authentication, error handling, and response formatting automatically
Subscribes to real-time changes on Supabase tables through MCP's event streaming interface, using Supabase's PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY mechanism to push INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE events to agents. Maintains persistent WebSocket connections and filters events by table and row-level policies, enabling agents to react to database changes without polling.
Unique: Bridges Supabase's PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY real-time system with MCP's tool interface, enabling agents to subscribe to database changes without managing WebSocket connections or event serialization
vs alternatives: More efficient than polling-based approaches because it uses Supabase's native real-time infrastructure rather than repeated database queries
Manages files in Supabase Storage buckets through MCP tools, supporting upload, download, list, and delete operations with automatic authentication and path-based access control. Uses Supabase's S3-compatible storage API with built-in support for public/private buckets and signed URLs for temporary access, enabling agents to handle file I/O without managing cloud storage credentials.
Unique: Exposes Supabase Storage's S3-compatible API as MCP tools with automatic authentication and signed URL generation, eliminating the need for agents to manage cloud storage credentials or generate temporary access tokens
vs alternatives: More integrated than generic S3 MCP tools because it leverages Supabase's built-in bucket policies and authentication rather than requiring separate AWS credentials
Performs semantic similarity searches on vector embeddings stored in Supabase PostgreSQL using pgvector extension, translating natural language queries into embedding vectors and executing cosine/L2 distance searches. Integrates with embedding providers (OpenAI, Cohere) or uses pre-computed embeddings, enabling agents to retrieve semantically similar documents or records without full-text search limitations.
Unique: Integrates pgvector directly into MCP tools with automatic embedding generation and distance calculation, enabling agents to perform semantic search without managing separate vector database infrastructure
vs alternatives: More efficient than external vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate) for Supabase users because it colocates embeddings with relational data, reducing network latency and simplifying data synchronization
Exposes Supabase database schema information through MCP tools, allowing agents to discover table structures, column types, constraints, and relationships without manual schema documentation. Queries PostgreSQL information_schema and Supabase metadata tables to dynamically generate schema descriptions, enabling agents to construct valid queries and understand data relationships.
Unique: Queries Supabase's PostgreSQL information_schema directly through MCP tools, enabling agents to dynamically discover and adapt to database schemas without pre-configured schema definitions
vs alternatives: More flexible than static schema definitions because it reflects live database state, including recent migrations or schema changes
Enforces Supabase Row-Level Security policies within agent queries, ensuring that agents can only access rows permitted by RLS rules defined in the database. Evaluates policies based on authenticated user context (JWT claims, user ID) and applies WHERE clause filters automatically, preventing unauthorized data access at the database layer rather than application layer.
Unique: Delegates authorization enforcement to PostgreSQL RLS policies rather than implementing authorization in agent code, ensuring that data access rules are centralized and cannot be bypassed by agent logic
vs alternatives: More secure than application-level authorization because RLS is enforced at the database layer, preventing accidental data leaks even if agent code has bugs
