Dbhub vs Supabase
Two MCP servers from our database ranking, compared on live data - updated nightly, never sponsored.
Bottom line · 2026-09-18
Supabase records significantly more monthly package installs (462,519 vs 102,527); both are actively maintained, with commits inside the last month.
How they differ in kind
Dbhub focuses on: DBHub is a minimal MCP server: token-efficient, zero-dependency, and just two tools by default with opt-in extras. Supabase focuses on: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how Large Language Models (LLMs) talk to external services like Supabase. Supabase offers a remote endpoint; Dbhub is local stdio.
What each one does
Dbhub
DBHub is a minimal MCP server: token-efficient, zero-dependency, and just two tools by default with opt-in extras. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
From the project's README.
Supabase
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how Large Language Models (LLMs) talk to external services like Supabase. It connects AI assistants directly with your Supabase project and allows them to perform tasks like managing tables, fetching config, and querying data. See the full list of tools.

Which one, for what
Derived from the signals above, not hands-on testing.
Pick Dbhub if…
- → category standing - #4 of 168 maintained database servers
Pick Supabase if…
- → you want the more widely installed option - 462,519 monthly installs vs 102,527
- → you want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process

Quick answers
Is Dbhub better than Supabase?
Package installs favor Supabase: 462,519 monthly installs to 102,527. Dbhub still ranks #4 of 168 maintained database servers. Data as of 2026-09-18; we haven't hands-on tested either.
Can I use Dbhub and Supabase together?
Yes - MCP clients accept multiple servers in one config, so you can enable both database servers side by side. If their tools overlap, keep the one whose toolset fits to keep your agent's tool list lean.
