Overview

Neon MCP Server is a server designed for interacting with the Neon Management API and databases using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows users to manage databases and perform operations through natural language commands.

To use the Neon MCP Server, you need to install it via Smithery or run it locally with your Neon API key. After installation, you can issue commands through Claude Desktop to manage your databases.

Supports various database management commands such as creating, deleting, and describing projects and branches. - Allows running SQL commands and managing database migrations safely. - Integrates with Claude Desktop for natural language processing.

Creating and managing Postgres databases through natural language.
Running migrations on database schemas with LLM assistance.

Use these steps to connect Neon MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-neon-neondatabase-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neondatabase/mcp-server-neon",
        "start",
        "{NEON_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-neon-neondatabase-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neondatabase/mcp-server-neon",
        "start",
        "{NEON_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-neon-neondatabase-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neondatabase/mcp-server-neon",
        "start",
        "{NEON_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-server-neon-neondatabase-labs": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neondatabase/mcp-server-neon",
        "start",
        "{NEON_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-neon-neondatabase-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neondatabase/mcp-server-neon",
        "start",
        "{NEON_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-neon-neondatabase-labs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@neondatabase/mcp-server-neon",
        "start",
        "{NEON_API_KEY}"
