# neon

Neon's plugin for Claude Code bundles agent skills for Lakebase Postgres with an MCP server that lets the agent touch projects and databases in plain language.

## What it does

The plugin ships Neon's agent skills alongside the Neon MCP Server as one Claude Code package. Each skill is a folder with a `SKILL.md` entry point, scripts and reference material. Claude Code opens it by itself when a task looks like database work and reads further files as needed, so there are no commands to memorise.

The set covers Lakebase Postgres documentation, branching, Neon Auth, Object Storage, Functions, Realtime and the AI Gateway. One skill hunts down wasted egress. Through the MCP server the agent lists projects and databases and edits them from a sentence.

Nothing reaches your Neon data until OAuth finishes: the first MCP call brings up the sign-in prompt. Source sits in `neondatabase/agent-skills` under Apache-2.0.

## Requirements

## When to use it
- branch a database for a migration test run
- trace a rising data-transfer bill
- wire up login and sessions through Neon Auth
- deploy an HTTP function next to the database
- look up Lakebase Postgres docs without leaving the editor

## Example prompts
- List my Neon projects and branch the main one for a migration test.
- Work out why egress jumped and point at the queries pulling extra rows.
- Deploy a Node.js function that returns the task list from the injected `DATABASE_URL`.

# Agent Skills

A collection of [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) and agent integrations for Neon — a complete set of cloud backend primitives built around Lakebase Postgres, for developers, startups, and agent platforms, from Databricks.

## What are Agent Skills?

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.
