Clerk Wrapper
Overview
Clerk Wrapper
Clerk is a complete user management platform with embeddable UI components, flexible APIs, and an admin dashboard. It handles authentication, organizations, RBAC, SSO, and billing — so teams can ship secure, production-ready auth without building it from scratch.
The Clerk Wrapper brings your user and organization data into Postgres as queryable foreign tables. Query users, organizations, memberships, invitations, billing subscriptions, and more with plain SQL and join them against your application data. The wrapper works with Supabase Vault for secure API key management and is built on WebAssembly (Wasm) for lightweight, sandboxed execution.
Preparation
Before you get started, make sure the wrappers extension is installed on your database:
_10create extension if not exists wrappers with schema extensions;
and then enable the Wasm foreign data wrapper:
_10create foreign data wrapper wasm_wrapper_10 handler wasm_fdw_handler_10 validator wasm_fdw_validator;
Secure your credentials (optional)
By default, Postgres stores FDW credentials inside pg_catalog.pg_foreign_server in plain text. Anyone with access to this table will be able to view these credentials. Wrappers is designed to work with Vault, which provides an additional level of security for storing credentials. We recommend using Vault to store your credentials.
_10select vault.create_secret(_10 '<Clerk API key>',_10 'clerk',_10 'Clerk API key for Wrappers'_10);
Connecting to Clerk
We need to provide Postgres with the credentials to access Clerk, and any additional options. We can do this using the create server command:
With Vault:
_10create server clerk_server_10 foreign data wrapper wasm_wrapper_10 options (_10 fdw_package_url 'https://github.com/supabase/wrappers/releases/download/wasm_clerk_fdw_v0.2.1/clerk_fdw.wasm',_10 fdw_package_name 'supabase:clerk-fdw',_10 fdw_package_version '0.2.1',_10 fdw_package_checksum '100f3f105e7e6dab92c433b2da6bec98fafeccd0304e6efaf3780d0a8cae30ec',_10 api_url 'https://api.clerk.com/v1', -- optional_10 api_key_id '<key_ID>' -- The Key ID from above._10 );
Without Vault:
_10create server clerk_server_10 foreign data wrapper wasm_wrapper_10 options (_10 fdw_package_url 'https://github.com/supabase/wrappers/releases/download/wasm_clerk_fdw_v0.2.1/clerk_fdw.wasm',_10 fdw_package_name 'supabase:clerk-fdw',_10 fdw_package_version '0.2.1',_10 fdw_package_checksum '100f3f105e7e6dab92c433b2da6bec98fafeccd0304e6efaf3780d0a8cae30ec',_10 api_url 'https://api.clerk.com/v1', -- optional_10 api_key 'sk_test_...' -- Clerk API key_10 );
Note: the fdw_package_* options are required and specify the Wasm package metadata. See the Available Versions table above for the full list.
