The honest brief
GitHub MCP
GitHub's first-party MCP — exposes PRs, issues, and even secret-scanning, gated by GitHub's native permission model.
- Wired into most agentic surfaces
- Read/write PRs, issues, branches
- Includes secret-scanning tools
- Honors GitHub permissions and OAuth scopes
- Subject to GitHub API rate limits
- Can't initiate a review from scratch
- PAT scope tuning needed to expose tools
- Inherits any over-broad token's reach
Supabase MCP
Official Supabase MCP with more security guardrails than most database MCPs, including a query-safe read-only mode.
- Manages DB, auth, storage, edge functions
- OAuth, project scoping, read-only mode
- Prompt-injection protections built in
- Erases editor-to-dashboard context switch
- Stored prompt-injection data-leak risk
- Risky against production without safeguards
- Some endpoints (execute_sql) still beta
- Runs under developer permissions
