Supabase vs Firebase MCP

Bottom line
Supabase is Postgres with a platform around it; Firebase is a managed document database with tight client SDKs.
The short answer
The data model decides more than the feature list. Supabase gives an agent SQL over Postgres, which means joins and aggregations an agent can reason about. Firebase gives documents and a query API, which suits client-first apps and suits an agent less well — the same question often needs several queries and a join in application code.

Pick Supabase if
The agent should answer analytical questions with SQL, and the data is relational.
Pick Firebase MCP if
The app is client-first and the data is document-shaped, and the agent is a secondary consumer.
What would change our mind
A project going archived, or a maintainer changing the install path, flips this comparison faster than any feature release. Both entries are re-checked weekly, and the date above tells you how much to trust the details.
