Lovable Cloud to Own Supabase Migration

Created by Carol Monroe - Lovable Champion and Supabase SupaSquad Member Actively used in production migrations. Last verified 2026-05-12

What This Skill Does

Migrates an entire Lovable Cloud project to your own Supabase - database schema (tables, enums, functions, triggers, sequences, indexes), data, auth users with original passwords, auth identities, storage assets (public and private buckets), edge functions with per-function verify_jwt, and frontend code. Detects advanced components (cron jobs, vault secrets, database extensions) and flags them for migration. 68 deterministic steps across 9 phases.

Lovable MCP Migrations

The Lovable MCP introduced query_database, which gives full SQL access to Lovable Cloud databases - something previously impossible. This changes everything about how migrations work:

• Before MCP: Had to use edge function workarounds, REST API exports, and manual schema recreation. Passwords could not be exported. Schema had to be rebuilt by hand.
• With MCP: Full SQL access to read schema, data, auth users (including password hashes), auth identities, RLS policies, enums, functions, triggers, sequences, indexes, constraints - everything needed for a complete migration.

Important: The Lovable MCP is still in early stages. Tool availability and behavior may change. This skill documents what works as of May 2026.

This skill is designed for Claude Code and Claude (web), but can also be used in other MCP-compatible tools like Cursor.
