Deploy a production Next.js 16 + Supabase website and CMS in one click. Vercel provisions the database and injects its keys before the first build, NextBlock applies its own schema during that build, and the in-app wizard asks only for your admin account. No environment variables to fill in.

Questions

What is the create-nextblock MCP server?

The open-source, full-stack CMS for Next.js 16. An AI-native, developer-first alternative to headless platforms built with React Server Components, Supabase, and Tailwind CSS.

What tools does create-nextblock expose?

1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is create-nextblock safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (38/100) and found 3 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does create-nextblock need?

It reads CRON_SECRET, DRAFT_MODE_SECRET, FREEMIUS_AI_SANDBOX_KEY, FREEMIUS_API_KEY, FREEMIUS_ECOMMERCE_SANDBOX_KEY, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, NB_2FA_SECRET, NEXTBLOCK_GITHUB_TOKEN, NEXT_PUBLIC_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY and NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does create-nextblock run?

It speaks streamable-http, so it runs as a service you connect to over the network. It is published on npm as nextblock at 0.21.3.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (f2b131a6a0b3), read on 2026-10-11. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
