Side-by-side MCP evidence comparison
Evidence field	Atlan Data CatalogShortlist candidate	Supabase MCPMCP100 Recommended
Task fit
Best for	Atlan customers who want governed catalog search, lineage, SQL/context and metadata curation under existing Atlan permissions.	Inspecting one Supabase project's schema, logs, advisors, and docs Development environments using project-scoped read-only access Teams that understand database and deployment consequences
Not ideal for	Organizations without clearly governed Atlan roles/personas or that cannot expose catalog metadata to an external AI client.	Production database administration by an unattended agent Users needing only public Supabase documentation Organizations unable to grant Supabase OAuth access to an MCP client
Avoid when	Do not use an over-privileged service-account/persona when a narrower user role can satisfy the workflow.	The server would be left organization-wide rather than project-scoped Write-capable SQL, migrations, functions, branches, or storage changes cannot be human-approved Production secrets or customer records could be returned to the model

Access and data
Authentication	Publisher supports authenticated tenant access via OAuth and supported API/service tokens.	Hosted MCP uses browser OAuth and grants organization access to the MCP client. Project scope, read-only mode, and feature groups are encoded in URL query parameters. Enterprise-managed authentication is GA for eligible Team and Enterprise organizations. Access remains scoped to each user's existing Supabase role and permissions.
Cost	Atlan plan/entitlement and AI-provider costs apply.	The MCP server is open source; normal Supabase plan, database, branch, Edge Function, storage, and usage charges apply. Branching and some storage operations require a paid plan.
Permissions	Inherits Atlan persona/role/domain permissions; service-account tokens are tied to a defined persona according to publisher docs.	Without project_ref the hosted server can access all projects in the authorized organization. With project_ref it is limited to one project. read_only=true uses a read-only Postgres user for SQL and disables listed mutation tools. Feature groups can further narrow exposed tools.
Data handling	Atlan states MCP retrieval is real-time without an intermediate MCP cache and that MCP itself does not send customer data to an LLM; the connected AI client/provider still receives whatever tool results the user sends into that conversation.	Enabled tools may return schemas, table data from executed queries, logs, security/performance advisors, project metadata, publishable keys, types, and Edge Function source. Hosted mode sends tool requests through Supabase's MCP service.
Limitations
Tradeoffs	Promising signal, but it ranks below the current Recommended/Shortlist admission cohort on maturity, uniqueness, publisher trust, security clarity, or MCP-native evidence.	Project scoping removes account-level tools but materially reduces blast radius. Read-only mode disables mutations but also removes migration, deployment, branch, and storage configuration workflows. Branching and some storage capabilities require paid plans; the server is pre-1.0 and may change.
Risk context	Sensitive enterprise metadata and any authorized curation writes remain the key governance concerns.	Unscoped or write-enabled access can affect every project in an organization, execute SQL, apply migrations, deploy functions, or manage branches. Always set project_ref and read_only=true first, minimize feature groups, and avoid production data.
