About Neon MCP Server
Connect your Neon account to any AI agent and take full control of your serverless PostgreSQL infrastructure through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers Neon as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 17 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly — ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Neon data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Project Management — List, create, update and delete Neon projects with region and PostgreSQL version selection
- Branch Operations — Create instant branches via copy-on-write cloning, set primary branches and manage branch lifecycle
- Compute Endpoints — Provision read-write and read-only compute hosts for your branches
- Database Administration — Create and list PostgreSQL databases within any branch
- Role Management — Create database roles (users) with auto-generated passwords for secure access
- Connection URIs — Get ready-to-use psql connection strings for any branch
The Neon MCP Server exposes 17 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Code with the Neon MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Neon through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly — no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Neon tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Neon + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Neon MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Neon tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Neon nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Neon outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Neon status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Neon MCP Tools for Claude Code (17)
These 17 tools become available when you connect Neon to Claude Code via MCP:
create_branch
Optionally set a human-readable name and a parent branch ID to clone from (if omitted, clones from the project's primary branch). Branches are created instantly with zero data copy overhead. Returns the new branch along with its initial endpoints, databases and roles. Create a new branch in a Neon project
create_database
Requires the database name. Optionally set the owner role name (must exist in the branch — see list_roles). Returns the new database metadata. Create a new database in a Neon branch
create_endpoint
Specify the endpoint type: "read_write" for full access or "read_only" for read replicas. A branch can have at most one read_write endpoint. Returns the new endpoint with its connection host and configuration. Create a compute endpoint for a Neon branch
create_project
Optionally set a human-readable name, AWS region (e.g. "aws-us-east-2", "aws-eu-central-1") and PostgreSQL version (15, 16, 17). A default branch, database and read-write endpoint are automatically provisioned. Returns the new project along with its initial connection URIs, roles, databases and endpoints. Create a new Neon project
create_role
The role can be used to authenticate database connections and own databases. Provide the project_id, branch_id and desired role name. Returns the new role metadata including the generated password. Create a new database role in a Neon branch
delete_branch
The primary branch cannot be deleted — set another branch as primary first. Provide the project_id and branch_id. WARNING: this action is irreversible and destroys all branch data. Delete a Neon branch
delete_project
The project is recoverable for 7 days via the Neon console. All associated branches, databases, endpoints and data are deleted. Provide the project_id. WARNING: this action destroys all data in the project. Delete a Neon project
get_branch
Provide both the project_id and branch_id. Get details for a specific Neon branch
get_connection_uri
Optionally specify a branch_id to get the URI for a specific branch (defaults to the primary branch). The URI includes the host, database name, role and password. Use this to connect psql, ORM tools or application clients. Get a PostgreSQL connection URI for a Neon project
get_project
Provide the project_id (e.g. "purple-shape-411361") obtained from list_projects. Get details for a specific Neon project
list_branches
Each branch is an isolated PostgreSQL environment with its own compute, databases and roles. Branches can be created from any point-in-time using copy-on-write cloning. Returns branch ID, name, parent ID, primary status, creation date and current state. Use the project_id from list_projects. List branches in a Neon project
list_databases
Each database has a name, owner role and creation metadata. Use the project_id and branch_id to scope the query. List databases in a Neon branch
list_endpoints
Each endpoint has a type (read_write or read_only), host address, current state (active, idle, suspended) and autoscaling configuration. A branch can have at most one read_write endpoint. Use the project_id and branch_id. List compute endpoints for a Neon branch
list_projects
Each project is a workspace that contains branches, compute endpoints, databases and roles. Returns project ID, name, region, PostgreSQL version, creation date and resource usage metadata. Use this as the starting point for all Neon operations — you need a project_id to manage branches, databases or endpoints. List all Neon projects
list_roles
Each role has a name, creation date and privilege metadata. Use the project_id and branch_id to scope the query. Roles are used to authenticate database connections and control access. List database roles in a Neon branch
set_primary_branch
The primary branch is the default source for new branch cloning and receives the default read-write compute endpoint. Provide the project_id and the branch_id to promote. Set a branch as the primary branch of a Neon project
update_project
Provide the project_id and the new name. This does not affect branches, databases or endpoints. Update a Neon project name
