Pick Supabase MCP Server if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add Trino MCP Server

brew install tuannvm/mcp/mcp-trino

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trino-mcp-server": {
      "command": "mcp-trino",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "TRINO_HOST": "<HOST>",
        "TRINO_PORT": "<PORT>",
        "TRINO_USER": "<USERNAME>",
        "TRINO_PASSWORD": "<PASSWORD>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add Supabase MCP Server

Install / run

Add remote URL https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp to your MCP client (OAuth login)

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supabase-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp?read_only=true&project_ref=<your-project-ref>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
