Let Claude Manage Your Neon Databases: Our MCP Server is Here
Anthropic recently introduced an open protocol to enable LLMs to more easily integrate with external data sources and tools. Model Context Protocol can thus be used to expose all kinds of products and services to LLMs and agents alike.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve already created a MCP server for Neon’s platform. It’s open source, and available today!
Using Claude’s Desktop application, we can now interact with Neon’s platform using AI. At its core, this means that Claude can easily communicate with Neon’s API. For example, on the image below, we asked Claude to perform a database migration on a Neon project for us.
Claude figured out the migration SQL code to write, and it also leveraged Neon’s instant copy-on-write branching feature to perform the migration safety by applying it first in a temporary branch (that got deleted in the end).
These mostly map to Neon API endpoints. However, certain tools such as the database migration related ones are tailored specifically for the usage we expect from AI agents and LLMs. As we showed above, these help the model by running the expected SQL on a side branch first and then hinting the agent to test the migration and commit it as it sees fit.
