Neon MCP Server
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new, standardized protocol for managing context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems. In this repository, we provide an installer as well as an MCP Server for Neon.
This lets you use Claude Desktop, or any MCP Client, to use natural language to accomplish things with Neon, e.g.:
Let's create a new Postgres database, and call it "my-database". Let's then create a table called users with the following columns: id, name, email, and password.
I want to run a migration on my project called "my-project" that alters the users table to add a new column called "created_at".
Can you give me a summary of all of my Neon projects and what data is in each one?

Migrations
Migrations are a way to manage changes to your database schema over time. With the Neon MCP server, LLMs are empowered to do migrations safely with separate "Start" and "Commit" commands.
The "Start" command accepts a migration and runs it in a new temporary branch. Upon returning, this command hints to the LLM that it should test the migration on this branch. The LLM can then run the "Commit" command to apply the migration to the original branch.
Development
The easiest way to iterate on the MCP Server is using the mcp-client/

GitHub Badge
Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:
- Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
- Confirm that there are no obvious security issues with dependencies of the server.
- Extract server characteristics such as tools, resources, prompts, and required parameters.
Our directory badge helps users to quickly asses that the MCP server is safe, server capabilities, and instructions for installing the server.
