What is the Neon MCP Server?
Connect your Neon account to any AI agent and take full control of your serverless PostgreSQL infrastructure through natural conversation.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Neon API Key
- Start managing your serverless Postgres from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more clicking through the Neon console to provision a branch or grab a connection URI. Your AI acts as a dedicated DBA.
Who is this for?
- Developers — instantly provision development branches, grab connection URIs and create test databases without leaving your IDE
- DevOps Engineers — audit project configurations, manage branches for CI/CD pipelines and review compute endpoint status
- DBAs — create roles, manage databases across branches and track PostgreSQL version upgrades via conversation
Built-in capabilities (17)
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Provide both the project_id and branch_id. Get details for a specific Neon branch
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
Provide the project_id (e.g. "purple-shape-411361") obtained from list_projects. Get details for a specific Neon project
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
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
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
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
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
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
Provide the project_id and the new name. This does not affect branches, databases or endpoints. Update a Neon project name

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Neon API Key?
Log in to the Neon Console, go to Account Settings > API Keys (or Organization Settings > API Keys), click Create New, choose the scope (Personal, Organization or Project-scoped), and copy the token immediately — it is shown only once.
What is a Neon branch and how does branching work?
A Neon branch is an isolated PostgreSQL environment with its own compute, databases and roles. Branches are created instantly using copy-on-write cloning from a parent branch (default: primary). This means zero data copy and instant provisioning. Each branch gets its own compute endpoints and can have different PostgreSQL schemas and data.
Can I get a ready-to-use connection URI?
Yes! Use the get_connection_uri tool with your project_id and optionally a branch_id. It returns a complete PostgreSQL connection string (postgres://user:password@host/dbname) ready to use with psql, ORMs or application clients.
Can the agent delete projects and branches?
Yes, the agent has tools to delete both projects and branches. Deleting a project marks it for recovery (7-day grace period) but destroys all associated data. Deleting a branch is irreversible and removes all its databases, roles and endpoints. Use caution when executing these actions.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
