Guides and best practices for working with Neon Serverless Postgres. Covers getting started, local development with Neon, choosing a connection method, Neon features, authentication (@neondatabase/auth), PostgREST-style data API (@neondatabase/neon-js), Neon CLI, and Neon's Platform API/SDKs. Use for any Neon-related questions.
Add this skill
npx mdskills install neondatabase/neon-postgresProvides useful Neon Postgres patterns but lacks actionable instructions and has placeholder content
A collection of Agent Skills and agent integrations for Neon Serverless Postgres.
Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover and use to do things more accurately and efficiently. Once installed, skills are automatically invoked by the agent upon detection of relevant tasks.
It all starts with the SKILL.md file in the skill's directory. It's the entry point and allows agents to progressively discover information as needed.
A comprehensive index of Neon Serverless Postgres documentation and best practices to set your agents up for success.
npx skills add neondatabase/agent-skills
You can also install the skills as a Claude Code plugin, which bundles both the neon-postgres agent skill and the Neon MCP Server for natural language database management:
/plugin marketplace add neondatabase/agent-skills
/plugin install neon-postgres@neon
After installation, you'll be prompted to authenticate with Neon via OAuth when you first use MCP tools.
The top-level skills/ directory remains the source of truth. Plugin folders symlink only the skill directories they expose.
This repository also includes Cursor plugin packaging with the same scope as the Claude plugin (neon-postgres agent skill and Neon MCP Server)
Run this command in chat:
