About Neon MCP
The Neon MCP server lets AI agents create and manage serverless Postgres databases, run SQL, handle migrations, and spin up branches using natural language. Backed by Neon's branching-based Postgres platform, it's ideal for agent-driven database provisioning and development workflows, available as a hosted OAuth endpoint or local install.
Neon MCP is a Database MCP server designed for developers, analysts, and data teams. It enables querying and managing databases from an AI assistant by exposing schema introspection and SQL execution as MCP tools. Key capabilities include schema introspection across tables and views, parameterised sql execution, read-only and read/write modes, and structured tool calls that work cleanly inside an LLM context. It integrates with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, BigQuery, and Snowflake, and is best suited for developers, analysts, and data teams who need ad-hoc analytics without a bi tool.
