supabase-js

How does supabase-js work with MONA Base?

supabase-js works by using the MONA Base URL and anon key. The cloud_base_credentials tool returns both.

Create a supabase-js client
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
// BASE_URL and ANON_KEY come from cloud_base_credentials
const supabase = createClient(BASE_URL, ANON_KEY)
const { data, error } = await supabase.from('todos').select('*')

Shared system

What MONA Base shares with MONA Cloud

MONA Base is part of MONA Cloud. It does not create a separate account, wallet or MCP.

Account

Billing

One VND wallet

The cloud_base_* tools live in monacloud-mcp. There is no separate Base MCP.

MCP tools

Which beta tools are available?

The cloud_base_* tools in monacloud-mcp are in beta. An AI agent creates a backend with cloud_base_create, then reads its URL and keys with cloud_base_credentials.

ToolWhat it does
cloud_base_createCreates a project after reporting scope and price.
cloud_base_listLists your Base projects.
cloud_base_getReads provisioning status and project details.

FAQ

Questions people ask before switching

Vietnamese-language support is available at 1900 636 648.

Can I move an app from Supabase to MONA Base?

Yes, if it uses supabase-js: swap the URL and anon key for the ones MONA Base returns. signUp, CRUD, Storage and RLS keep the same call shape. Parts relying on branching, PITR or a platform API need checking, because beta does not have them.

How is MONA Base priced?

By server resources, in Vietnamese dong: 250đ per CPU core per hour, 150đ per GB of RAM per hour, 15đ per GB of disk per hour. A 2 core, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB disk cluster costs 1.700đ per hour. There is no revenue share.

Does MONA Base need its own account?

No. It shares MONA Pass, the VND wallet and monacloud-mcp with MONA Cloud, so one account covers both.

What is missing from the beta?

Branching, PITR and a platform API. MONA Base is not yet recommended for very large production workloads.

Prompt to create a MONA Base backend
Use monacloud-mcp and the cloud_base_* tools (beta) to create a backend for this project. Before creating anything, report the VND cost and what is not supported yet. Use cloud_base_create, then cloud_base_credentials to get api_url, anon_key and service_key. Do not create a separate account, wallet or MCP for MONA Base.
