Vendor-official Neon MCP for serverless Postgres.

Official Neon MCP server that bridges natural language to the Neon API for serverless Postgres: create projects and branches, run queries, and perform schema migrations conversationally. Available as a remote hosted server (OAuth or API-key auth at mcp.neon.tech) or via one-command setup with neonctl. Neon explicitly recommends it for local development and IDE use only — not production.

Vendor-official MCP server. Hosted or maintained by the vendor.

Things to check

Requires active Neon account and API key; direct database access means Claude can read/modify schema and data, so restrict to non-production or access-controlled environments. Performance on very large result sets may be limited by token context.
