Neon MCP Server

Safe default: deep access, cheap, and scopeable.

Best agent-safety story in databases: instant branches mean a destructive agent action is a discarded branch, not an incident.

What an agent can do here

Serverless Postgres with an official MCP server that can branch databases, run SQL and manage projects — branching makes agent experiments cheap to undo.

Action depth
Admin

Agents can change configuration and infrastructure, not just content.

Hosting
Vendor-hosted

Connect with a URL — nothing to install.

Auth
OAuth
Unattended
Needs a human

Interactive OAuth only — it cannot be provisioned without someone clicking through.

Blast radius
Low

Trivially reversible.

Permission scoping: Granular scopes

What it costs to let an agent act

FreeUnmetered

Free plan supported; both a hosted OAuth server and a local API-key server are offered.
