Supabase vs Redocly
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Supabase and Redocly — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Supabase vs Redocly: at a glance
What is Supabase?
Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
What is Redocly?
Redocly ships a built-in MCP server page across its entire docs platform, with public and authenticated endpoints
Redocly just landed a coordinated 0.137.0 release across Reef, Realm, Revel, and Redoc, anchored by a structural addition: every developer portal now ships a `/mcp` page with setup instructions for Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, and raw JSON config, plus an opt-in `/mcp-public` endpoint for serving anonymous-accessible content without authentication. The MCP code mode got reliability improvements, OAuth discovery was fixed to spec (RFC 8414), and four CVEs were patched in the same release. The breadth of the drop — 20 features and 67+ bug fixes across packages — reflects a team that released a major capability and simultaneously cleared accumulated UX debt.

Supabase
0.0INFRA · APISDEVOPS
Supabase is closing its most-exploited default: tables stop being public unless you say so.
◆ Current state
The last month is dominated by tightening defaults rather than adding surface. New tables in the public schema will no longer be auto-exposed to the Data and GraphQL APIs, pg_graphql stops being enabled by default, and the OAuth token endpoint is being corrected to return 200 per OAuth 2.1. Alongside that, custom OAuth/OIDC providers landed for Auth and an RLS Tester entered preview.
◆ Where it's heading
Supabase is paying down the security cost of its own convenience. Auto-exposing every public-schema table made the product fast to start with and easy to misconfigure; the fix is explicit Postgres grants, staged over six months from new projects in April to all existing projects on October 30. The RLS Tester is the same theme from the other side — the auto-exposure default only worked if row-level security was correct, and until now there was no way to check.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining rollout dates to hold and more of the developer experience to be rebuilt around explicit grants, with the RLS Tester graduating from preview as it becomes the tool people need to verify the new model. The October cutover for existing projects is the moment where this stops being an announcement and starts breaking things.

Redocly ships a built-in MCP server page across its entire docs platform, with public and authenticated endpoints
◆ Current state
Redocly just landed a coordinated 0.137.0 release across Reef, Realm, Revel, and Redoc, anchored by a structural addition: every developer portal now ships a `/mcp` page with setup instructions for Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, and raw JSON config, plus an opt-in `/mcp-public` endpoint for serving anonymous-accessible content without authentication. The MCP code mode got reliability improvements, OAuth discovery was fixed to spec (RFC 8414), and four CVEs were patched in the same release. The breadth of the drop — 20 features and 67+ bug fixes across packages — reflects a team that released a major capability and simultaneously cleared accumulated UX debt.
◆ Where it's heading
Redocly is repositioning every hosted API portal as a first-class AI agent resource, not just a human-readable docs site. The public MCP endpoint especially matters: it enables AI coding assistants to read API docs without credentials, which removes the main friction for developers integrating via LLM tools. Security hardening (audience validation, OAuth compliance, CVE patching) in the same release signals this isn't a prototype feature — it's going into production. The next logical step is deeper programmatic authoring via the MCP surface, not just reading.
◆ Prediction
Expect Redocly to add MCP write-path features — letting AI agents update API documentation or sync specs directly — once the read-path is fully stable. The visual review check in Reunite suggests a git-workflow integration direction.
