VS Code Supabase get_logs

How to: VS Code Supabase get_logs

client:VS Code transport:stdio tool:get_logs

Add Supabase to VS Code

  1. 01

    Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "supabase-access-token",
      "description": "SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "mcp-server-supabase": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@supabase/mcp-server-supabase"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${input:supabase-access-token}"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

    Ask for something get_logs does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_logs itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Supabase's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

VS Code prompts for each input the first time the server starts, so no secret is written to the file. VS Code docs

Set these first

Supabase will not start until these are set, so get_logs never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
