Automate branch creation in VS Code Copilot

Stop sharing a single staging database and stepping on your teammates' toes. When you open a workspace, VS Code Copilot uses `create_branch` to clone your database schema instantly, giving every developer their own isolated sandbox. By committing the database MCP configuration to your repository, your team can run `list_endpoints` to get dedicated connection strings automatically. No manual database setup is required when onboarding new engineers.

Manage serverless projects in your workspace

Keep your cloud bills under control. VS Code Copilot lets you audit your active database footprint by querying `list_projects` and tearing down stale environments with `delete_project` directly from the chat interface. You can check compute sizes and region configurations using `get_project`. This gives your team immediate visibility into active serverless infrastructure without needing access to the main cloud console.

Inspect roles and schemas from the sidebar

Writing database migrations requires precise user permissions. Your agent uses `list_roles` and `list_databases` to inspect your active database branch, checking that your migration scripts run with the correct privileges. The agent can also query `get_branch` to inspect the exact state of your database schemas. This ensures your code changes match the target database structure before you commit them to your repository.

Setup guide

Set up Neon (Serverless PostgreSQL) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
