Neon MCP Server in the cloud

We’ve brought the Neon MCP Server to the cloud. Our hosted MCP server makes it easier to integrate AI workflows into clients like Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Desktop—no API keys or local setup required.

You can start using it today by pointing your client to:

https://mcp.neon.tech

How to try it with Cursor:

1. Open Cursor Settings

2. Under MCP Servers, add:

   "Neon": {
     "command": "npx",
     "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.neon.tech/sse"]
   }

That’s it—you’re connected to Neon’s remote MCP Server.

We’re releasing this in preview while the MCP OAuth spec continues to evolve. Things might change, and we’d love your feedback as we improve.

New safeguards for protected branches

We added a warning and confirmation modal to the SQL Editor when running queries on protected branches. This helps prevent accidental changes to production data. You'll see a clear notice and must confirm before proceeding.

Create Neon projects directly from the Azure Portal

For users of Neon on Azure — you can now create Neon projects directly from the Azure Portal. Creating a project is part of Neon Serverless Postgres resource creation. You can also add Neon projects to an existing Neon resource from a new Projects page. All Neon plans, including the Free plan, support creating multiple Neon projects.

Neon serverless driver is now generally available (GA)

The Neon serverless driver for JavaScript/TypeScript has reached version 1.0.0 and is now generally available! Built for environments like Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and even browsers, the driver carries SQL over HTTP or WebSockets — no raw TCP required.

This GA release brings a cleaner, more maintainable codebase, stronger SQL injection safeguards, support for composable tagged-template queries, and better performance when inserting binary data over HTTP.

What you need to know about the 1.0.0 GA release:

• It requires Node.js v19 or later.

• It includes a breaking change but only if you're calling the HTTP query template function as a conventional function. The first usage shown below remains safe and supported. However, the second usage is an SQL injection risk (notice the parentheses) and is no longer permitted and now throws an error. You'll need to update your app if you use it.

  // this usage remains safe and supported
  const resultA = await sql`SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ${id}`;
  // this usage is not safe and now throws an error
  const resultB = await sql(`SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ${id}`);

For more about these changes and others in the 1.0.0 GA release, please see the 1.0.0 release notes or read the blog post.

Streamlined Neon Auth setup

With Neon Auth, your user data is available right in your database.

We've simplified Neon Auth onboarding so you can add authentication to your project faster. With a cleaner UI and clearer steps, it's now easier to get started adding your first users with Neon Auth.

Learn more in our docs.

MCP Server updates

We're continuing to improve our MCP Server. This week, we added built-in support for the AI rules we announced two weeks ago. In case you missed it, we provide AI rules for setting up Neon Auth, querying your database with the Neon serverless driver, and integrating Neon with Drizzle ORM. Keep an eye out for more AI rules as we expand this resource.

Windows developers will also find improved platform compatibility in this release. See the MCP Server changelog to find the latest updates.

Search faster with pg_search on Neon

We’ve partnered with ParadeDB to bring pg_search to Neon, delivering up to 1,000x faster full-text search inside Postgres. The pg_search extension introduces Elasticsearch-grade ranking, typo tolerance, faceted search, and JSON-aware filtering—all within Postgres. Powered by a BM25-based inverted index, pg_search outperforms native Postgres FTS (tsvector/tsquery), making it ideal for search-heavy applications. It’s available now for Neon databases running Postgres 17 on AWS. To learn more, read the announcement and check out our pg_search docs.

Neon spend is now MACC-eligible on Azure

Neon Postgres purchases made through the Azure Marketplace are now counted toward your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). As an Azure Benefit Eligible partner, any spend on Neon Postgres via the Azure Marketplace helps fulfill your committed Azure spend with no extra steps required. Learn more.
