Supabase vs Firebase for Claude Code
Verdict
Supabase has the deeper Claude Code integration. Both ship an official plugin in Anthropic’s marketplace with an MCP server, but Supabase’s plugin also bundles 2 skills (including Postgres best practices) while Firebase’s bundles none. If you are choosing for agent-driven development, Supabase gives Claude Code both live project access and coding guidance; Firebase gives live access only.
