Supabase MCP

Starting with Nowa 3.4 (released January 19, 2026), you can enable Supabase MCP to let the Nowa agent work on your Supabase backend while it builds your Flutter frontend.

Supabase MCP is a secure bridge between the agent and your Supabase project. When enabled, the agent can understand your current backend (database schema, policies, functions, storage, etc.) and then create or update what’s needed to accomplish your request — end to end.

What you can build with it​

With Supabase MCP enabled, you can build a fully functional app from Nowa alone, including:

  • Frontend: screens, UI components, state, actions, and clean scalable code.
  • Backend: tables and relationships, SQL, RLS policies, triggers, Edge Functions, and Storage configuration.
  • Connection layer: the agent wires everything together so your UI is powered by your Supabase backend.

How it works​

  1. In the Chat panel, enable the Supabase MCP icon.
  2. If your project isn’t connected to Supabase yet, Nowa will ask you to connect it first.
  3. Describe what you want to build.
  4. The agent will:
    • Understand the task and your current project.
    • Create a plan covering both frontend + backend work.
    • Implement the changes and connect everything together.

note

For any backend operation, you’ll be asked for approval before anything is applied — so the agent can’t change your Supabase project unless you review and confirm it first.

What the agent can do in Supabase​

Supabase MCP isn’t limited to tables.

  • Create and edit tables, columns, and relationships
  • Add Row Level Security (RLS) policies
  • Create triggers and database functions
  • Build Edge Functions
  • Work with Supabase Storage (buckets, access patterns, and policies)

Example use case​

You can ask the agent to build a full chat app — it can create the needed database tables, set up RLS so messages are stored per user, and build the complete UI and logic in Nowa.

Dev Diary (Nowa 3.4)​

This Dev Diary walks through Supabase MCP in Nowa 3.4 by building a full Todo app with Auth, task title/description/priority/due date, and a statistics page — with tasks stored per user account.
