OpenAI just launched support for MCP servers in ChatGPT, letting you connect external tools – including Neon! Via Neon’s MCP server, you can bring your Postgres projects into ChatGPT and ask questions about resource usage, database activity, branches, and more.
ChatGPT Now Supports MCP Servers
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that allows AI editors and assistants (including now ChatGPT) to talk directly to external services. Instead of writing custom connectors for every integration, you can connect any service that runs an MCP server and use it from within ChatGPT:
We’ve (finally) added full support for MCP tools in ChatGPT.

You Can Manage Neon Databases Directly from ChatGPT
This turns ChatGPT into a command center for your infrastructure and apps. Once you enable Developer Mode and add an MCP connector, ChatGPT can call the tools that the MCP server exposes, whether that’s searching data, fetching insights, or managing resources.
With Neon’s MCP server, you can bring your Postgres databases into ChatGPT and interact with them in real time. Once connected, ChatGPT can call Neon’s API through the MCP server, giving you a simple way to do things like
- List your Neon projects without leaving the chat
- Inspect activity and usage, such as compute hours or branch performance
- Explore branches and monitor workloads
- Query project details or get quick insights on what’s running
How to Set It Up
Setting it up is super easy:
- Copy the MCP URL. Go to mcp.neon.tech and copy the server URL.
- Add a connector in ChatGPT. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors → Create, give it a name (e.g. Neon Postgres), and paste in the MCP server URL.
- Use OAuth for authentication. Select OAuth, click I trust this application, and then complete the email verification step.
- Approve access in Neon. You’ll be redirected to Neon to approve the request. Click Approve and then Authorize.
- Confirm in ChatGPT. Once approved, ChatGPT will show a success screen. You’ll now see Neon’s MCP tools (list projects, create branches, etc.) available in Developer Mode.
- Start chatting. From there, you can start asking ChatGPT about your Neon projects.
Try It Out
Go try it! If you don’t have a Neon free account, you can create it here. If you have any questions, you’ll find us in Discord. Share your good prompts with us!
