Project mention: Supabase MCP leaks your entire SQL Database, a lethal trifecta attack | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-08

The GitHub issue here sums up the conversation about this:
https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/286
So... your comment is a bit disingenuous. Regardless of Hacker News's thoughts on MCP servers, there is a cohort of users that are finding them to be immensely useful. Myself included.
