Verdict

Pick Milvus MCP Server if you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Pick Supabase MCP Server if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install.

Add Milvus MCP Server

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "milvus-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/PATH/TO/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-server-milvus/src/mcp_server_milvus",
        "run",
        "server.py",
        "--milvus-uri",
        "http://localhost:19530"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add Supabase MCP Server

Install / run
Add remote URL https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp to your MCP client (OAuth login)

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supabase-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp?read_only=true&project_ref=<your-project-ref>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
