Connect your Supabase project and embedding provider, then copy a ready-to-use config for your MCP client.

FoundersOS gives your AI assistant a memory of how your company runs, so you stop re-explaining the same context every time you open it.

This page sets up the two things that make that work:

1 · Database
Supabase (free)
A place where your AI's memory and your company info live. You create it and you own it.
2 · Memory engine
Embedding provider
Helps your AI find the right memory at the right moment. Pick one. OpenAI is the simplest if unsure.

At the end you get a small block of settings to paste into your AI app (like Claude Desktop), plus a one-time database setup you run once. We walk you through each click.

▾
If you're running on AWS with an IAM role attached, you can leave the access key fields empty.
Ollama runs locally on your machine. Make sure it's installed and running.
Dimensions are handled for you. After you generate, we'll give you a database setup file with this exact size already filled in - you just run it in Supabase. If unsure, leave the default for your chosen provider.

Generate Your Config
▾

FoundersOS runs as an MCP server through npx, which ships with Node.js (install it first if you don't have it). Generate the config below, then paste it into your client: Claude Desktop, Cowork, Cursor, Continue.dev, Zed, or any spec-compliant MCP client.

Step 1: Set up your database (do this first)
One-time setup, takes about a minute
  1. Open your Supabase project in your web browser (go to supabase.com and open your project).
  2. In the menu on the left, click SQL Editor.
  3. Click New query near the top.
  4. Click Copy SQL below, then click into the big empty box in Supabase and paste (Cmd+V on Mac, Ctrl+V on Windows).
  5. Click the green Run button at the bottom right (or press Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter).
  6. When you see Success. No rows returned, your database is ready. Move on to Step 2.
