neon-database-manager
Tool for managing Neon Postgres databases. Use for listing projects, inspecting schema, and running queries.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The Neon Database Manager is a powerful Claude skill designed to streamline the management of Neon serverless Postgres databases. By leveraging MCP tools, it enables users to list projects, inspect database schemas, and execute SQL queries directly within the chat interface. This skill is essential for developers and data analysts who need to interact with their serverless infrastructure efficiently, providing a seamless bridge between AI-driven insights and live database management.
Use Cases
- Schema Exploration: Quickly list database tables and inspect column structures to understand data models without leaving the development workflow.
- Live Data Querying: Execute SQL SELECT statements to retrieve specific records, perform data validation, or run ad-hoc analysis on the fly.
- Environment Management: Navigate through multiple Neon projects and branches to monitor and manage different environments such as development, staging, and production.
- Debugging and Verification: Use the AI agent to verify data integrity or check for specific database entries during the application debugging process.

- Querying tables in a Neon database.
- Checking database schema.
Available Tools (Context Loaded)
The following tools are available via the neon MCP server:
Management
mcp__neon__list_projects: View available Neon projects.
Inspection & Querying
mcp__neon__get_database_tables: List tables in a specific branch/database.mcp__neon__run_sql: Execute SQL queries against the database.
Best Practices
- Read-Only First: Prefer
run_sqlfor SELECT statements. Be cautious with data modification. - Schema Awareness: Use
get_database_tablesbefore constructing complex queries to ensure column names are correct.
Example Workflow
- User: "Check the users table in the dev branch."
- Agent: Calls
list_projectsto find the project ID. - Agent: Calls
get_database_tablesto verify the table exists. - Agent: Calls
run_sqlto select data.
