# Changelog Jul 10, 2026 - Neon

## New`neon api`command in the Neon CLI

The Neon CLI now ships an [`api`](/guides/apis-sdks-cli-api) command: call any [Neon Platform API](/guides/ai-agents-on-neon-reference-api) route from the terminal using your existing CLI login, without hand-building `curl` requests or giving agents raw API keys.

Dedicated CLI commands cover common workflows, but the Platform API moves faster. With the `neon api` command, you get full API reach the moment an endpoint exists. Run `neon api --list` to browse every route from the OpenAPI spec.

[Read the announcement](https://neon.com/blog/introducing-neon-api-command) for why we built this for agent workflows.

List projects for your organization:

```bash
neon orgs list
neon api /projects -Q org_id=org-cool-darkness-12345678
```

Create a dev branch on an existing project:

```bash
neon api /projects/late-frost-12345678/branches -X POST -F branch.name=dev
```

The `-F branch.name=dev` flag builds the JSON body `{ "branch": { "name": "dev" } }` automatically. See the [`api` command reference](/guides/apis-sdks-cli-api) for query parameters, file bodies (`-d @file`), and output formats.

## Cmd+K support for the Neon Console

You can now press `Cmd+K` (Mac) or `Ctrl+K` (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the Neon Console to open a searchable command bar with actions scoped to your current branch and project: navigate to branches, open the SQL editor, create a snapshot, go to settings, and more.

## Neon MCP Server: branch expiration on create

The [Neon MCP Server](/guides/postgres-ai-neon-mcp-server) `create_branch` tool now accepts an optional `expiresAt` parameter (ISO 8601) to set automatic branch deletion when creating a branch, matching the Neon API and console Auto-delete behavior. See [branch expiration](/guides/postgres-guides-branch-expiration).

Connect the MCP Server in your editor:

```bash
npx add-mcp https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp
```

For full setup (API key auth, agent skills, and more), run `npx neon@latest init`. See [Connect MCP clients to Neon](/guides/postgres-ai-connect-mcp-clients-to-neon).

## New NAT gateway IPs and VPC endpoint services in US East (Ohio), Europe (London), and Asia Pacific (Singapore)

We've expanded infrastructure capacity in the AWS US East (Ohio) (`us-east-2`), Europe (London) (`eu-west-2`), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) (`ap-southeast-1`) regions with new NAT gateway IP addresses and new VPC endpoint service addresses for Private Networking.

:::callout{intent="note" title="Update your IP allowlists"}
If you have IP allowlists on external systems that Neon connects to, **update those allowlists to include the new NAT gateway addresses**. Connections may be affected intermittently if traffic routes through non-allowlisted NAT gateways.
:::

If you use Private Networking in these regions, you can now use the additional VPC endpoint service addresses for enhanced capacity and reliability. See the [Regions documentation](/guides/manage-operate-introduction-regions#aws-nat-gateway-ip-addresses) for the complete list of NAT gateway IPs and the [Private Networking guide](/guides/resilience-architecture-guides-neon-private-networking) for VPC endpoint service addresses by region.

## Postgres turns 30

Postgres turned 30 on July 8. [See our post on X](https://x.com/neondatabase/status/2074892704115470796).

Neon is a long-term bet on Postgres. We support Postgres 14 through 18 today, with Postgres 19 support on the way. Our team includes Postgres hackers who [contribute upstream](https://neon.com/blog/postgres-18) and support the wider ecosystem through our [Open Source Program](https://neon.com/blog/neon-open-source-program). We run standard Postgres, not a fork: [Neon is Postgres](/guides/postgres-reference-compatibility), with serverless branching and autoscaling built around the database millions of developers already rely on.

Happy birthday, Postgres. 🎂🐘
