Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Environment Cleanup

Quickly wipe out entire database ecosystems once testing is complete.

Automate a task

Put Neon to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Neon works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Neon to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Neon, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Neon. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Neon owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers who want to manage database infrastructure without leaving their development environment.

  • 01

    Backend Developers

    They use the agent to spin up isolated testing branches and verify schemas.

  • 02

    Database Administrators

    They monitor storage caps and compute endpoint usage across multiple projects.

  • 03

    Platform Engineers

    They automate project provisioning and manage database roles.

FAQ

Questions Neon owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Neon API key. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    What is zero-copy branching?

    It is a feature that allows you to instantly duplicate your PostgreSQL storage using filesystem links. This creates an isolated environment for testing that is tied to a parent source.

  • 03

    Can I delete my entire project through the AI?

    Yes, you can use the delete project capability to permanently wipe an entire Neon ecosystem, including all storage and connection strings.

  • 04

    Which clients are compatible with this MCP?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 05

    Does this MCP handle database permissions?

    Yes, you can use the capability to list and audit PostgreSQL user identities and roles for specific branches.

  • 06

    What is Neon's 'Zero-Copy Branching' and how do I use it through the agent?

    Zero-copy branching allows you to clone a multi-terabyte database instantly using Copy-on-Write (CoW). Use the create_branch capability by providing a parent branch ID. Your agent will trigger the backend to generate an isolated clone in milliseconds, perfect for running migrations or testing features against production-like data.

  • 07

    Can my agent retrieve the exact connection strings for my compute endpoints?

    Yes. Use the list_endpoints capability with your Project ID. Your agent will retrieve the explicit hostnames (e.g., ep-misty-water-123.aws.neon.tech) used to actively ingest real query traffic to your serverless Postgres branches.

  • 08

    How do I check the storage consumption for a specific Neon branch?

    The get_branch capability retrieves the deconstructed execution footprint of an individual branch. Your agent will report the storage limits and exact number of bytes consumed uniquely by that branch's data delta since it split from its parent.
