Claude Code plugin for Neon

Summary: The Neon Claude Code plugin, available on the official Claude plugins marketplace, bundles the neon-postgres Skill and an MCP server integration that gives Claude Code direct access to Neon's API for creating projects, managing branches, running SQL, and configuring serverless Postgres connections. Use this page to install the plugin (claude plugin install neon@claude-plugins-official) and verify the neon-postgres skill is active, distinguishing it from the standalone Agent Skills setup used with other AI tools.

The Neon Claude Code plugin is available on the official Claude plugins marketplace. It adds Neon-specific Skills and API access to Claude Code, Anthropic's AI development environment, bundling guided Skills plus an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration.

Claude Skills are Markdown-based workflows that tell Claude how to complete specific tasks (like setting up a database connection, editing a file, or running a script). The Neon plugin packages several of these Skills into a reusable bundle, so Claude Code can interact directly with Neon.

Once installed, the plugin gives Claude the ability to:

  • Create and manage Neon projects and databases
  • Connect frameworks like Drizzle ORM
  • Configure serverless Postgres connections
  • Reference Neon documentation and best practices in context

The plugin contains:

  • The neon-postgres skill for guided Neon workflows, covering getting started, connections, Managed Better Auth, the Data API, platform SDKs, and developer tools
  • An MCP server integration that connects Claude to Neon's APIs

Each Skill is a Markdown file with a description and a step-by-step workflow. When you ask Claude to perform a task (for example, "Integrate Neon with Drizzle"), it checks the available Skill descriptions, finds a match, and loads the full instructions to complete the task.

The plugin's MCP server integration lets Claude interact with Neon's live API endpoints. That means Claude can:

  • Query Neon for project information
  • Create or delete branches and databases
  • Validate connection strings
  • Run SQL queries and migrations
  1. Install the Neon plugin:

    From your terminal:

    Bash
    claude plugin install neon@claude-plugins-official

    Or from within a Claude Code session:

    text
    /plugin install neon@claude-plugins-official

    Or install it from the Neon CLI, which can target several agents in one command:

    Bash
    neon plugins --agent claude-code
  2. Verify the installation: Ask Claude Code:

    text
    which skills do you have access to?

    You should see the neon-postgres skill listed.

  3. Start using the Skills: Use natural language prompts like:

    "Use the neon-postgres Skill to set up Drizzle ORM with Neon."

Claude will automatically select and execute the relevant workflow.

The Agent Skills repository provides skills for other AI tools as well. With the Neon CLI, install them with:

Bash
neon skills -s neon -s neon-postgres

Without the Neon CLI, run npx skills add neondatabase/agent-skills -s neon -s neon-postgres. See Agent Skills for all installation options.

If you run into issues, visit our Discord or open an issue in the Agent Skills repository.
