  • You can now manage your Neon database directly from Claude Code using the Neon MCP Server Check out our new guide to get started. It covers both remote (OAuth) and local setup options: Get started with Claude Code and Neon Postgres MCP Server

Postgres pg_repack extension available on all Neon plans

The pg_repack extension lets you to efficiently remove bloat by rewriting tables and indexes online, with minimal locking.

Previously, enabling pg_repack required opening a support ticket so our team could grant you permission on the repack schema. That's no longer necessary — you now have access by default. No support ticket means the extension is available on all Neon plans.

pg_repack extension

If you previously installed pg_repack without assistance from Neon support, you'll need to drop the extension and reinstall it on your database to apply the new repack schema permission.

Learn more about the extension in our docs: pg_repack
