mcp-server-neon

Overview

The mcp-server-neon is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants and agents to interact directly with Neon, the serverless PostgreSQL platform. It allows AI-driven workflows to inspect databases, manage branches, and reason about environments and schema state — bringing modern, branch-based database context directly into MCP-powered assistants.

This server is especially useful for development, testing, preview environments, and workflows where database branching and isolation are key to rapid iteration.

Key Capabilities

• Branch-based database workflows — Work with isolated Postgres branches for development, testing, and previews.
• Environment visibility — Inspect projects, databases, and branch state programmatically.
• Safe experimentation — Enable AI assistants to reason about schema or data changes without impacting production.
• Modern Postgres access — Integrate with a fully managed, scalable PostgreSQL backend.
• Developer productivity — Support workflows like “create a preview database” or “inspect this branch’s schema.”

How It Works

The mcp-server-neon runs as an MCP service and connects to Neon using authenticated API credentials. AI clients communicate with the server over the MCP protocol to request database and branch context as part of broader reasoning workflows.

The server mediates access to Neon’s APIs, handling authentication and response normalization before returning structured results that AI assistants can reason over directly. All access respects Neon’s project and role-based permissions.

By exposing Neon through MCP, the server enables AI-driven workflows such as database branch inspection, environment-aware reasoning, and safe schema exploration — bringing modern database infrastructure into the same AI-assisted workflows used for code, CI/CD, and deployment context.
