> Summary: The Neon Claude Code plugin, available on the official Claude plugins marketplace, bundles the neon-postgres Skill and an MCP server integration that gives Claude Code direct access to Neon's API for creating projects, managing branches, running SQL, and configuring serverless Postgres connections. Use this page to install the plugin (`claude plugin install neon@claude-plugins-official`) and verify the neon-postgres skill is active, distinguishing it from the standalone Agent Skills setup used with other AI tools.

# Claude Code plugin for Neon

The **Neon Claude Code plugin** is available on the official Claude plugins marketplace. It adds Neon-specific Skills and API access to Claude Code, Anthropic's AI development environment, bundling guided Skills plus an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration.

## Overview

Claude Skills are Markdown-based workflows that tell Claude how to complete specific tasks (like setting up a database connection, editing a file, or running a script). The Neon plugin packages several of these Skills into a reusable bundle, so Claude Code can interact directly with Neon Postgres.

Once installed, the plugin gives Claude the ability to:

- Create and manage Neon projects and databases
- Connect frameworks like Drizzle ORM
- Configure serverless Postgres connections
- Reference Neon documentation and best practices in context

## What's included

The plugin contains:

- **The `neon-postgres` skill** for guided Neon workflows, covering getting started, connections, Neon Auth, the Data API, platform SDKs, and developer tools
- **An MCP server integration** that connects Claude to Neon's APIs

## How it works

Each Skill is a Markdown file with a description and a step-by-step workflow. When you ask Claude to perform a task (for example, _"Integrate Neon with Drizzle"_), it checks the available Skill descriptions, finds a match, and loads the full instructions to complete the task.

The plugin's MCP server integration lets Claude interact with Neon's live API endpoints. That means Claude can:

- Query Neon for project information
- Create or delete branches and databases
- Validate connection strings
- Run SQL queries and migrations

## Install the plugin in Claude Code

1. Install the Neon plugin:

   From your terminal:

   ```bash
   claude plugin install neon@claude-plugins-official
   ```

   Or from within a Claude Code session:

   ```text
   /plugin install neon@claude-plugins-official
   ```

2. Verify the installation:
   Ask Claude Code:

   ```text
   which skills do you have access to?
   ```

   You should see the `neon-postgres` skill listed.

3. Start using the Skills:
   Use natural language prompts like:
   > "Use the neon-drizzle Skill to set up Drizzle ORM with Neon."

Claude will automatically select and execute the relevant workflow.

## Use skills outside Claude Code

The [Agent Skills repository](https://github.com/neondatabase/agent-skills) provides skills for other AI tools as well. You can install them with:

```bash
npx skills add neondatabase/agent-skills -s neon-postgres
```

See [Agent Skills](https://neon.com/docs/ai/agent-skills) for all installation options.
