Neon Serverless Postgres

Serverless Postgres is the core of the Neon platform. It separates compute and storage to offer autoscaling, branching, instant restore, and scale-to-zero. It's fully compatible with Postgres and works with any language, framework, or ORM that supports Postgres.

Setup Flow

1. Select the organization and project

Use the CLI (default) or MCP server to list organizations and projects. Let the user select an existing project or create a new one. Check the .neon file for an existing linked project or branch.
