# Enable Neon Auth in Vercel, Backup & Restore enhancements, and more

## Enable Neon Auth in Vercel

You can now enable [Neon Auth](https://neon.tech/docs/guides/neon-auth) directly from the [Neon Postgres Integration on Vercel](https://vercel.com/marketplace/neon). Enable it when creating a database, or later by going to the **Storage** tab in Vercel, selecting your database, and updating the **Settings**.

Neon Auth makes it easy to add authentication to your app. User data is stored in your Neon Postgres database, so you can query it like any other table and join it with your app data.  
Learn more in the [Neon Auth guide](https://neon.tech/docs/guides/neon-auth).

## Backup & Restore enhancements

The **Backup & Restore** page (available in [Early Access](https://console.neon.tech/app/settings#early-access)) includes two updates:

- The **Instant point-in-time restore** selector now defaults to the current time, making it easier to restore to the present or a recent point in time.

- You can now edit the snapshot name, an improvement based on feedback from our Early Access users.

<summary>**Fixes**</summary>

- Fixed an issue that prevented creating more than one read replica on the Free plan, which supports up to three read replicas.
- Fixed an issue with a [pgrag](https://neon.com/docs/extensions/pgrag) extension function. A query using the `rag_bge_small_en_v15.embedding_for_passage` function failed to complete.
- Fixed an issue where reaching the `max_client_conn` limit in PgBouncer could cause the connection info cache to be invalidated. This led to repeated attempts to wake the compute.
- Removed a redundant **Close** button from the **Connect to your database** modal.

<summary>**Neon API**</summary>

- Updated the [Create branch](https://api-docs.neon.tech/reference/createprojectbranch) API description to make it clear that the API creates a branch without a compute endpoint by default. To create a branch with a compute endpoint, the endpoint object must be added to the request body.
- Expanded the General Error description in our API specification to clarify when it's safe to retry a failed request based on the HTTP method and response.

<summary>**Neon MCP Server**</summary>

- The `list_projects` and `create_project` MCP tools now return Neon organization details.

<details>

<summary>**Usage notifications**</summary>

- We've updated usage notification emails to include the account or org name they apply to. Helpful if you're part of more than one org; you'll know exactly where the alert is coming from.

<details>

<summary>**Vercel**</summary>

- When you connect a Vercel project to a Neon database, the integration now sets a `NEON_PROJECT_ID` environment variable in Vercel. This variable will support a new SaaS starter kit, which we'll introduce soon!
