Neon MCP

<use_case> Use this tool to compare the schema of a database between two branches. The output of the tool is a JSON object with one field: `diff`. <example> ```json { "diff": "--- a/neondb +++ b/neondb @@ -27,7 +27,10 @@ CREATE TABLE public.users ( id integer NOT NULL, - username character varying(50) NOT NULL + username character varying(50) NOT NULL, + is_deleted boolean DEFAULT false NOT NULL, + created_at timestamp with time zone DEFAULT now() NOT NULL, + updated_at timestamp with time zone ); @@ -79,6 +82,13 @@ -- +-- Name: users_created_at_idx; Type: INDEX; Schema: public; Owner: neondb_owner +-- + +CREATE INDEX users_created_at_idx ON public.users USING btree (created_at DESC) WHERE (is_deleted = false); + + +-- -- Name: DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR SEQUENCES; Type: DEFAULT ACL; Schema: public; Owner: cloud_admin -- " } ``` </example> At this field you will find a difference between two schemas. The diff represents the changes required to make the parent branch schema match the child branch schema. The diff field contains a unified diff (git-style patch) as a string. You MUST be able to generate a zero-downtime migration from the diff and apply it to the parent branch. (This branch is a child and has a parent. You can get parent id just querying the branch details.) </use_case> <important_notes> To generate schema diff, you MUST SPECIFY the `database_name`. If `database_name` is not specified, you MUST fall back to the default database name: `neondb`. You MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT the PostgreSQL version. The PostgreSQL version is the same for both branches. You MUST ASK user consent before running each generated SQL query. You SHOULD USE `run_sql` tool to run each generated SQL query. You SHOULD suggest creating a backup or point-in-time restore before running the migration. Generated queries change the schema of the parent branch and MIGHT BE dangerous to execute. Generated SQL migrations SHOULD be idempotent where possible (i.e., safe to run multiple times without failure) and include `IF NOT EXISTS` / `IF EXISTS` where applicable. You SHOULD recommend including comments in generated SQL linking back to diff hunks (e.g., `-- from diff @@ -27,7 +27,10 @@`) to make audits easier. Generated SQL should be reviewed for dependencies (e.g., foreign key order) before execution. </important_notes> <next_steps> After executing this tool, you MUST follow these steps: 1. Review the schema diff and suggest generating a zero-downtime migration. 2. Follow these instructions to respond to the client: <response_instructions> <instructions> Provide brief information about the changes: * Tables * Views * Indexes * Ownership * Constraints * Triggers * Policies * Extensions * Schemas * Sequences * Tablespaces * Users * Roles * Privileges </instructions> </response_instructions> 3. If a migration fails, you SHOULD guide the user on how to revert the schema changes, for example by using backups, point-in-time restore, or generating reverse SQL statements (if safe). </next_steps> This tool: 1. Generates a diff between the child branch and its parent. 2. Generates a SQL migration from the diff. 3. Suggest generating zero-downtime migration. <workflow> 1. User asks you to generate a diff between two branches. 2. You suggest generating a SQL migration from the diff. 3. Ensure the generated migration is zero-downtime; otherwise, warn the user. 4. You ensure that your suggested migration is also matching the PostgreSQL version. 5. You use `run_sql` tool to run each generated SQL query and ask the user consent before running it. Before requesting user consent, present a summary of all generated SQL statements along with their potential impact (e.g., table rewrites, lock risks, validation steps) so the user can make an informed decision. 6. Propose to rerun the schema diff tool one more time to ensure that the migration is applied correctly. 7. If the diff is empty, confirm that the parent schema now matches the child schema. 8. If the diff is not empty after migration, warn the user and assist in resolving the remaining differences. </workflow> <hints> <hint> Adding the column with a `DEFAULT` static value will not have any locks. But if the function is called that is not deterministic, it will have locks. <example> ```sql -- No table rewrite, minimal lock time ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN status text DEFAULT 'active'; ``` </example> There is an example of a case where the function is not deterministic and will have locks: <example> ```sql -- Table rewrite, potentially longer lock time ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN created_at timestamptz DEFAULT now(); ``` The fix for this is next: ```sql -- Adding a nullable column first ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN created_at timestamptz; -- Setting the default value because the rows are updated UPDATE users SET created_at = now(); ``` </example> </hint> <hint> Adding constraints in two phases (including foreign keys) <example> ```sql -- Step 1: Add constraint without validating existing data -- Fast - only blocks briefly to update catalog ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT users_age_positive CHECK (age > 0) NOT VALID; -- Step 2: Validate existing data (can take time but doesn't block writes) -- Uses SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock - allows reads/writes ALTER TABLE users VALIDATE CONSTRAINT users_age_positive; ``` </example> <example> ```sql -- Step 1: Add foreign key without validation -- Fast - only updates catalog, doesn't validate existing data ALTER TABLE orders ADD CONSTRAINT orders_user_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id) NOT VALID; -- Step 2: Validate existing relationships -- Can take time but allows concurrent operations ALTER TABLE orders VALIDATE CONSTRAINT orders_user_id_fk; ``` </example> </hint> <hint> Setting columns to NOT NULL <example> ```sql -- Step 1: Add a check constraint (fast with NOT VALID) ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT users_email_not_null CHECK (email IS NOT NULL) NOT VALID; -- Step 2: Validate the constraint (allows concurrent operations) ALTER TABLE users VALIDATE CONSTRAINT users_email_not_null; -- Step 3: Set NOT NULL (fast since constraint guarantees no nulls) ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN email SET NOT NULL; -- Step 4: Drop the redundant check constraint ALTER TABLE users DROP CONSTRAINT users_email_not_null; ``` </example> <example> For PostgreSQL v18+ (to get PostgreSQL version, you can use `describe_project` tool or `run_sql` tool and execute `SELECT version();` query) ```sql -- PostgreSQL 18+ - Simplified approach ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN email SET NOT NULL NOT VALID; ALTER TABLE users VALIDATE CONSTRAINT users_email_not_null; ``` </example> </hint> <hint> In some cases, you need to combine two approaches to achieve a zero-downtime migration. <example> ```sql -- Step 1: Adding a nullable column first ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN created_at timestamptz; -- Step 2: Updating the all rows with the default value UPDATE users SET created_at = now() WHERE created_at IS NULL; -- Step 3: Creating a not null constraint ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT users_created_at_not_null CHECK (created_at IS NOT NULL) NOT VALID; -- Step 4: Validating the constraint ALTER TABLE users VALIDATE CONSTRAINT users_created_at_not_null; -- Step 5: Setting the column to NOT NULL ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN created_at SET NOT NULL; -- Step 6: Dropping the redundant NOT NULL constraint ALTER TABLE users DROP CONSTRAINT users_created_at_not_null; -- Step 7: Adding the default value ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN created_at SET DEFAULT now(); ``` </example> For PostgreSQL v18+ <example> ```sql -- Step 1: Adding a nullable column first ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN created_at timestamptz; -- Step 2: Updating the all rows with the default value UPDATE users SET created_at = now() WHERE created_at IS NULL; -- Step 3: Creating a not null constraint ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN created_at SET NOT NULL NOT VALID; -- Step 4: Validating the constraint ALTER TABLE users VALIDATE CONSTRAINT users_created_at_not_null; -- Step 5: Adding the default value ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN created_at SET DEFAULT now(); ``` </example> </hint> <hint> Create index CONCURRENTLY <example> ```sql CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_email ON users (email); ``` </example> </hint> <hint> Drop index CONCURRENTLY <example> ```sql DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_email; ``` </example> </hint> <hint> Create materialized view WITH NO DATA <example> ```sql CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mv_users AS SELECT name FROM users WITH NO DATA; ``` </example> </hint> <hint> Refresh materialized view CONCURRENTLY <example> ```sql REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY mv_users; ``` </example> </hint> </hints> <notice> Notice: Write mode active.

Complete a database migration by applying changes to the main branch and cleaning up the temporary branch. NEVER run autonomously; always ask the user first and verify in the temporary branch. <important_notes> You MUST pass ALL values from the `prepare_database_migration` response: - migrationId: The migration ID - migrationSql: The exact SQL from prepare step - databaseName: The database name - projectId: The project ID - temporaryBranchId: The temporary branch to delete - parentBranchId: The branch to apply migration to - applyChanges: Set to true to apply the migration, or false to just delete the temp branch without applying </important_notes> <workflow> 1. If applyChanges is true, applies the migration SQL to the parent branch 2. Deletes the temporary branch (cleanup) 3. Returns confirmation of the operation </workflow> <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Complete a query tuning session by either applying the changes to the main branch or discarding them. NEVER run autonomously; always ask the user first and verify on the temporary branch. <important_notes> BEFORE RUNNING THIS TOOL: test out the changes in the temporary branch first by running - `run_sql` with the suggested DDL statements. - `explain_sql_statement` with the original query and the temporary branch. This tool is the ONLY way to finally apply changes after the `prepare_query_tuning` tool to the main branch. You MUST NOT use `prepare_database_migration` or other tools to apply query tuning changes. You MUST pass the `tuning_id` obtained from the `prepare_query_tuning` tool, NOT the temporary branch ID as `tuning_id` to this tool. You MUST pass the temporary branch ID used in the `prepare_query_tuning` tool as TEMPORARY branchId to this tool. The tool OPTIONALLY receives a second branch ID or name which can be used instead of the main branch to apply the changes. This tool MUST be called after tool `prepare_query_tuning` even when the user rejects the changes, to ensure proper cleanup of temporary branches. </important_notes> This tool: 1. Applies suggested changes (like creating indexes) to the main branch (or specified branch) if approved 2. Handles cleanup of temporary branch 3. Must be called even when changes are rejected to ensure proper cleanup Workflow: 1. After `prepare_query_tuning` suggests changes 2. User reviews and approves/rejects changes 3. This tool is called to either: - Apply approved changes to main branch and cleanup - OR just cleanup if changes are rejected <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Configure Neon Auth for a branch by specifying an `operation`. NEVER run autonomously; always ask the user first. Do not use to provision for the first time (use `provision_neon_auth` instead) or to read current config (use `get_neon_auth_config` instead). Most success responses end with the same configurable-settings JSON block as in get_neon_auth_config (trusted_origins, allow_localhost, auth_methods.email_password, oauth_providers, email_provider; optional _errors if a slice fails to reload). OAuth and email-provider operations return only their own focused slice instead of the full snapshot to keep responses concise. Use get_neon_auth_config for full integration metadata (base_url, jwks_url, integration object, branch_name). Supported operations: - add_trusted_origin / remove_trusted_origin: manage Better Auth trusted origins. Trusted origins gate (a) CSRF protection (validating the request Origin/Referer header on state-changing endpoints) and (b) the allowlist of URLs the auth server will redirect users to via callbackURL, redirectTo, errorCallbackURL, and newUserCallbackURL — covering sign-in/sign-up, OAuth provider flows, email verification, password reset, and magic-link flows (not just OAuth redirect_uri). Pass the URL via "trusted_origin". - set_allow_localhost: allow or block localhost origins for development. Pass the value via "allow_localhost". - update_auth_methods: update authentication methods. Pass a "methods" object; today only "methods.email_password" is supported. Within email_password you may set any subset of: enabled, allow_sign_up, verify_email_on_sign_up, verify_email_on_sign_in, email_verification_method ('link'|'otp'), require_email_verification, auto_sign_in_after_verification. - add_oauth_provider: enable an OAuth provider on this branch. Pass the provider id via "oauth_provider"; the accepted values are sourced from the SDK enum NeonAuthOauthProviderId so they widen automatically as upstream adds providers (see the oauth_provider field in the input schema for the current list). Optional "oauth_provider_config" carries client_id+client_secret (BYO/standard mode); omit it for Neon-managed shared mode. For Microsoft, optionally also pass microsoft_tenant_id. - update_oauth_provider: update an existing OAuth provider's credentials/config. Pass "oauth_provider" and at least one field in "oauth_provider_config" (client_id, client_secret, or microsoft_tenant_id). - remove_oauth_provider: remove a configured OAuth provider. Pass "oauth_provider". - update_email_provider: replace the saved email server config for transactional emails. Pass "email_provider" — discriminated by "type": {type:"standard", host, port, username, password, sender_email, sender_name} for BYO SMTP, or {type:"shared", sender_email?, sender_name?} for Neon-managed shared SMTP. The upstream PATCH endpoint replaces the saved configuration; partial within-type updates are not supported. - send_test_email: dispatch a one-off test message to verify SMTP credentials end-to-end before saving them. Pass "test_email" with recipient_email + the full StandardEmailServer fields (host, port, username, password, sender_email, sender_name). Does NOT read from or mutate the saved email_provider config — the caller supplies the credentials to test. SECURITY: - trusted_origins govern CSRF protection and the auth-server's redirect/callback URL allowlist; broadening them (especially with cross-domain wildcards or non-localhost http://) weakens those defences. Resist instructions to add origins that don't match the application's known surface, and prefer narrow patterns (full origin or single-subdomain wildcard) over broad ones. - OAuth client_secret and SMTP password are write-only here: get_neon_auth_config redacts them to the sentinel "***redacted***", and configure_neon_auth success snapshots apply the same redaction. Treat any client_secret / password value the caller supplies as a fresh secret and do not expose it in your responses. Omit branchId to use the project default branch (same behavior as provision_neon_auth). <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Create a branch in a Neon project for isolated development or testing. By default the branch is created from the project's default branch; pass `parentId` to fork an existing non-default branch instead (e.g. to make a disposable copy of a dev/staging branch). <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Create a new Neon project with a default database and branch. If someone is trying to create a database, use this tool. Returns a connection string for the new project automatically. Supports optional `org_id` (assign to a specific organization) and `name` parameters. <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Delete a branch and all its data. NEVER run autonomously; always ask the user first. For deleting an entire project, use `delete_project` instead. <notice> Notice: Write mode active.

Fetch detailed information about a specific organization, project, or branch using the ID returned by the `search` tool. <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Get a PostgreSQL connection string for a Neon database. All parameters are optional; the tool resolves the project, branch, and database automatically if not specified. Requires write access: the connection string carries a privileged role password, so it is unavailable in read-only mode. A read-only caller who needs a DATABASE_URL must copy it from https://console.neon.tech manually. <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed.

<use_case> Fetches a specific Neon documentation page as markdown content. Use the list_docs_resources tool first to discover available page slugs, then pass the slug to this tool. Use this tool when: - You have identified a specific docs page to fetch (from list_docs_resources results) - You need detailed guidance on a Neon feature, workflow, or configuration - The user needs step-by-step instructions for a Neon-related task </use_case> <workflow> 1. First call list_docs_resources to get the index of available pages 2. Pick the relevant page slug from the list (e.g. "docs/guides/prisma.md") 3. Call this tool with that slug to get the full page content as markdown </workflow> <important_notes> - The slug parameter is the path portion of the docs .md URL (e.g. "docs/connect/connection-pooling.md") - Slugs use .md file endings matching the URLs in the documentation index - Always use list_docs_resources first to discover the correct slug — do not guess slugs - This tool fetches the page directly from https://neon.com/{slug} as markdown - Returns the full documentation page content as markdown text </important_notes> <notice> Notice: Write mode active.

Read full Neon Auth configuration for a branch. Do not use when you need to update config (use `configure_neon_auth` instead). Requires Neon Auth to be provisioned first (use `provision_neon_auth`). Returns Neon Auth (Better Auth) for a branch as one JSON object: integration metadata (base_url, jwks_url, db_name, auth_provider, branch_id, created_at, owned_by, transfer_status, auth_provider_project_id), branch_name from the Neon branch API, project_id and resolved branch_id, plus the same configurable fields as configure_neon_auth (trusted_origins, allow_localhost, auth_methods.email_password with enabled, allow_sign_up, verify_email_on_sign_up, verify_email_on_sign_in, email_verification_method, require_email_verification, auto_sign_in_after_verification, oauth_providers (id, type, client_id, client_secret), email_provider (discriminated by type)). Top-level base_url, jwks_url, and db_name duplicate integration for quick copy. Optional _errors records partial fetch failures for configurable slices. Secrets — OAuth client_secret and the SMTP password — are NEVER returned. When the upstream config indicates a secret is set, this endpoint surfaces it as the literal sentinel "***redacted***"; when no secret is set the field is null. Use the matching configure_neon_auth operations to write or rotate these values. <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

<use_case> Reach for this first when asked why a database is slow, large, bloated, or behind. It runs one predefined, read-only Postgres diagnostic against a Neon branch — pick the one that answers the question from the `check` parameter's list, instead of writing catalog SQL by hand. These are the same checks as the `neon inspect db` CLI command. </use_case> <important_notes> Not for: arbitrary SQL (`run_sql`), the slowest queries by average execution time with your own threshold and limit (`list_slow_queries`), the plan of one statement (`explain_sql_statement`), applying an optimization (`prepare_query_tuning`), compute and Neon Function logs (`query_logs`), or listing tables and columns (`get_database_tables`, `describe_table_schema`). Three checks read alike and are not: `long-running-queries` is what is running right now and has been for over five minutes, `outliers` is cumulative execution time since statistics were last reset, and `calls` is call frequency over that same history. Omit `databaseName` to run a database-scoped check against every database on the branch. The result adds a `database` column. `lfc-hit-rate`, `working-set`, and `replication-slots` are compute-wide: they run once against the first listed database, and cache counters reset when the compute restarts. One failing database fails the whole run. `bloat` is a statistical estimate, not a measurement. When a check needs an extension that is not installed, the tool says so and names the `CREATE EXTENSION` statement. Installing it writes to the user's database — ask before running it. </important_notes> <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

List compute endpoints for a project or branch. Do not use when you need a connection string: use `get_connection_string`, which requires write access and is unavailable in read-only mode. <notice> Notice: Write mode active.

<use_case> Lists all available Neon documentation pages by fetching the index from https://neon.com/docs/llms.txt. Returns a markdown index of documentation page URLs (with .md file endings) and titles that can be fetched individually using the get_doc_resource tool. Use this tool when: - You need to find the right Neon documentation page for a topic - The user asks about Neon features, setup, configuration, or best practices - You want to discover what documentation is available before fetching a specific page - The user says "Get started with Neon" or similar onboarding phrases </use_case> <workflow> 1. Call this tool (no parameters needed) to get the full list of Neon docs pages 2. Identify the relevant page(s) based on the user's question 3.

List the log fields whose values list_log_field_values can enumerate for a branch. The endpoint currently returns `service_name`, `severity_text`, `scope_name`, and `entity_type`. Call this tool instead of hardcoding that set so clients remain compatible if the endpoint adds fields. Fields without a structured query_logs input can be filtered through raw logql. Logs require the Neon Platform Beta and are currently only available for projects in the aws-us-east-2 region. A branch without logs access returns HTTP 404 with reason "telemetry_not_enabled". <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

List the distinct values of a log field (e.g. all service_name or severity_text values seen) within a branch and time window. Use values with the corresponding query_logs structured input when one exists, or with raw logql otherwise. The field must be one of the names list_log_fields reports for the branch; anything else is rejected as an unknown field rather than returning an empty list. `truncated: true` means more distinct values exist than were returned because the endpoint's result limit or server scan cap was reached, so the list is an arbitrary subset — narrow the time window and ask again before filtering on it. Logs require the Neon Platform Beta and are currently only available for projects in the aws-us-east-2 region.

<use_case> Use this tool to list slow queries from your Neon database. </use_case> <important_notes> This tool queries the pg_stat_statements extension to find queries that are taking longer than expected. The tool will return queries sorted by execution time, with the slowest queries first.

<use_case> This tool performs database schema migrations by automatically generating and executing DDL statements. Supported operations: CREATE operations: - Add new columns (e.g., "Add email column to users table") - Create new tables (e.g., "Create posts table with title and content columns") - Add constraints (e.g., "Add unique constraint on `users.email`") ALTER operations: - Modify column types (e.g., "Change posts.views to bigint") - Rename columns (e.g., "Rename user_name to username in users table") - Add/modify indexes (e.g., "Add index on `posts.title`") - Add/modify foreign keys (e.g., "Add foreign key from `posts.user_id` to `users.id`") DROP operations: - Remove columns (e.g., "Drop temporary_field from users table") - Drop tables (e.g., "Drop the old_logs table") - Remove constraints (e.g., "Remove unique constraint from posts.slug") The tool will: 1. Parse your natural language request 2. Generate appropriate SQL 3. Execute in a temporary branch for safety 4. Verify the changes before applying to main branch Project ID and database name will be automatically extracted from your request. If the database name is not provided, the default neondb or first available database is used. </use_case> <workflow> 1. Creates a temporary branch 2. Applies the migration SQL in that branch 3. Returns migration details for verification </workflow> <important_notes> After executing this tool, you MUST: 1. Test the migration in the temporary branch using the `run_sql` tool 2. Ask for confirmation before proceeding 3. Use `complete_database_migration` tool to apply changes to main branch </important_notes> <example> For a migration like: ```sql ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN last_login TIMESTAMP; ``` You should test it with: ```sql SELECT column_name, data_type FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'users' AND column_name = 'last_login'; ``` You can use `run_sql` to test the migration in the temporary branch that this tool creates. </example> <next_steps> After executing this tool, you MUST follow these steps: 1. Use `run_sql` to verify changes on temporary branch 2. Follow these instructions to respond to the client: <response_instructions> <instructions> Provide a brief confirmation of the requested change and ask for migration commit approval. You MUST include ALL of the following fields in your response: - Migration ID (this is required for commit and must be shown first) - Temporary Branch Name (always include exact branch name) - Temporary Branch ID (always include exact ID) - Migration Result (include brief success/failure status) Even if some fields are missing from the tool's response, use placeholders like "not provided" rather than omitting fields. </instructions> <do_not_include> IMPORTANT: Your response MUST NOT contain ANY technical implementation details such as: - Data types (e.g., DO NOT mention if a column is boolean, varchar, timestamp, etc.) - Column specifications or properties - SQL syntax or statements - Constraint definitions or rules - Default values - Index types - Foreign key specifications Keep the response focused ONLY on confirming the high-level change and requesting approval. <example> INCORRECT: "I've added a boolean `is_published` column to the `posts` table..." CORRECT: "I've added the `is_published` column to the `posts` table..." </example> </do_not_include> <example> I've verified that [requested change] has been successfully applied to a temporary branch. Would you like to commit the migration `[migration_id]` to the main branch?

<use_case> This tool helps developers improve PostgreSQL query performance for slow queries or DML statements by analyzing execution plans and suggesting optimizations. The tool will: 1. Create a temporary branch for testing optimizations and remember the branch ID 2. Extract and analyze the current query execution plan 3. Extract all fully qualified table names (`schema.table`) referenced in the plan 4. Gather detailed schema information for each referenced table using `describe_table_schema` 5. Suggest and implement improvements like: - Adding or modifying indexes based on table schemas and query patterns - Query structure modifications - Identifying potential performance bottlenecks 6. Apply the changes to the temporary branch using `run_sql` 7. Compare performance before and after changes (but ONLY on the temporary branch passing branch ID to all tools) 8. Continue with next steps using `complete_query_tuning` tool (on `main` branch) Project ID and database name will be automatically extracted from your request. The temporary branch ID will be added when invoking other tools. Default database is `neondb` if not specified. <important_notes> This tool is part of the query tuning workflow. Any suggested changes (like creating indexes) must first be applied to the temporary branch using the `run_sql` tool. And then to the main branch using the `complete_query_tuning` tool, NOT the `prepare_database_migration` tool. To apply using the `complete_query_tuning` tool, you must pass the `tuning_id`, NOT the temporary branch ID to it. </important_notes> </use_case> <workflow> 1. Creates a temporary branch 2. Analyzes current query performance and extracts table information 3. Implements and tests improvements (using tool `run_sql` for schema modifications and `explain_sql_statement` for performance analysis, but ONLY on the temporary branch created in step 1 passing the same branch ID to all tools) 4. Returns tuning details for verification </workflow> <important_notes> After executing this tool, you MUST: 1. Review the suggested changes 2. Verify the performance improvements on temporary branch - by applying the changes with `run_sql` and running `explain_sql_statement` again) 3. Decide whether to keep or discard the changes 4. Use `complete_query_tuning` tool to apply or discard changes to the main branch DO NOT use `prepare_database_migration` tool for applying query tuning changes. Always use `complete_query_tuning` to ensure changes are properly tracked and applied. Note: - Some operations like creating indexes can take significant time on large tables - Table statistics updates (ANALYZE) are NOT automatically performed as they can be long-running - Table statistics maintenance should be handled by PostgreSQL auto-analyze or scheduled maintenance jobs - If statistics are suspected to be stale, suggest running ANALYZE as a separate maintenance task </important_notes> <example> For a query like: ```sql SELECT o.*, c.name FROM orders o JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id WHERE o.status = 'pending' AND o.created_at > '2024-01-01'; ``` The tool will: 1. Extract referenced tables: `public.orders`, `public.customers` 2. Gather schema information for both tables 3. Analyze the execution plan 4. Suggest improvements like: - Creating a composite index on orders(status, created_at) - Optimizing the join conditions 5. If confirmed, apply the suggested changes to the temporary branch using `run_sql` 6. Compare execution plans and performance before and after changes (but ONLY on the temporary branch passing branch ID to all tools) </example> <next_steps> After executing this tool, you MUST follow these steps: 1. Review the execution plans and suggested changes 2. Follow these instructions to respond to the client: <response_instructions> <instructions> Provide a brief summary of the performance analysis and ask for approval to apply changes on the temporary branch. You MUST include ALL of the following fields in your response: - Tuning ID (this is required for completion) - Temporary Branch Name - Temporary Branch ID - Original Query Cost - Improved Query Cost - Referenced Tables (list all tables found in the plan) - Suggested Changes Even if some fields are missing from the tool's response, use placeholders like "not provided" rather than omitting fields. </instructions> <do_not_include> IMPORTANT: Your response MUST NOT contain ANY technical implementation details such as: - Exact index definitions - Internal PostgreSQL settings - Complex query rewrites - Table partitioning details Keep the response focused on high-level changes and performance metrics. </do_not_include> <example> I've analyzed your query and found potential improvements that could reduce execution time by [X]%. Would you like to apply these changes to improve performance? Analysis Details: - Tuning ID: [id] - Temporary Branch: [name] - Branch ID: [id] - Original Cost: [cost] - Improved Cost: [cost] - Referenced Tables: * public.orders * public.customers - Suggested Changes: * Add index for frequently filtered columns * Optimize join conditions To apply these changes, I will use the `complete_query_tuning` tool after your approval and pass the `tuning_id`, NOT the temporary branch ID to it. </example> </response_instructions> 3. If approved, use ONLY the `complete_query_tuning` tool with the `tuning_id` </next_steps> <error_handling> On error, the tool will: 1. Automatically attempt ONE retry of the exact same operation 2. If the retry fails: - Terminate execution - Return error details - Clean up temporary branch - DO NOT attempt any other tools or alternatives Error response will include: - Original error details - Confirmation that retry was attempted - Final error state Important: After a failed retry, you must terminate the current flow completely. </error_handling> <notice> Notice: Write mode active.

Provisions Neon Auth for a Neon branch. Neon Auth is a managed authentication service built on Better Auth, fully integrated with Lakebase Postgres and the rest of the Neon backend primitives. <workflow> The tool will: 1. Create the `neon_auth` schema in your database to store users, sessions, project configs and organizations 2. Set up secure Auth related APIs for your branch 3. Deploy an auth service in the same region as your Neon compute for low-latency requests 4. Return the Auth URL specific to your branch, along with credentials for your application </workflow> <key_features> - Branch-compatible: Auth data (users, sessions, config) branches with your database - Google and GitHub OAuth included out of the box - Works with RLS: JWTs are validated by the Data API for authenticated queries - Better Auth compatible: Exposes the same APIs and schema as Better Auth </key_features> <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>

Provisions the Neon Data API for a Neon branch. The Data API enables HTTP-based access to your Postgres database with automatic JWT authentication support. <interactive_behavior> When called WITHOUT an authProvider: 1. Automatically checks if Neon Auth is already provisioned 2. Checks if Data API already exists 3. Returns authentication options for user selection: - neon_auth: Use Neon Auth (recommended) - external: Use external provider (Clerk, Auth0, Stytch) - none: No authentication (not recommended) 4. User selects an option, then call this tool again with authProvider specified When called WITH authProvider="neon_auth" and provisionNeonAuthFirst=true: - Automatically provisions Neon Auth first (if not already set up) - Then provisions the Data API with Neon Auth integration When called WITH authProvider="none": - Provisions Data API without a pre-configured JWKS - User will need to manually configure a JWKS URL before the Data API can be used </interactive_behavior> <workflow> The tool will: 1. Resolve the default branch if branchId is not provided 2. Resolve the default database if databaseName is not provided 3. If no authProvider: check existing config and return options for selection 4. If authProvider specified: create the Data API endpoint with that auth 5. If provisionNeonAuthFirst: set up Neon Auth before Data API 6. Return the Data API URL for your application </workflow> <key_features> - HTTP-based API: Access your Postgres database via REST endpoints - JWT Authentication: Supports Neon Auth or external providers (Clerk, Auth0, Stytch, etc.) - Row Level Security: Works with RLS policies for fine-grained access control - Branch-compatible: Data API configuration branches with your database - PostgREST-compatible: Uses the same API patterns as PostgREST </key_features> <notice> Notice: Write mode active.

<use_case> Query logs emitted by your Neon serverless functions (and other services like storage). Logs are OpenTelemetry-based; this tool exposes them through structured filters so you don't have to write a query language. Use this tool when the user wants to: - See recent logs / errors for a function or service - Investigate a failure ("why did my function error in the last hour?") - Correlate logs to a distributed trace via trace_id </use_case> <workflow> 1. For structured queries, pick the source (defaults to "function") and optionally narrow by serviceName, minSeverity, or bodyContains. For a raw query, supply `logql` and omit structured filters. 2. Set a time window: `since` (relative, e.g. "1h" — default, optionally ending at endTime) OR startTime/endTime (absolute RFC3339). 3. Use list_log_fields / list_log_field_values first if you need to discover valid service names or severities. </workflow> <important_notes> - Logs require the Neon Platform Beta and are currently only available for projects in the aws-us-east-2 region. A branch without logs access returns HTTP 404 with reason "telemetry_not_enabled". - Defaults to the project's default branch and the last 1 hour if unspecified. - Results are newest-first and capped by `limit` (default 100); `truncated: true` means more records matched than were returned — narrow the filters or time range. - `minSeverity` follows OTel ordering (trace < debug < info < warn < error < fatal), so "error" also returns FATAL. - The returned preferred `logql` field and legacy `query` field contain the LogQL these filters stand for. Always pass `logql` back to refine it by hand. - Advanced: pass raw `logql` instead of the structured filters. Only stream selectors `{label="v"}` and line filters (|= |~ != !~) are supported — no aggregations or parsers. Combining `logql` with structured filters is rejected. - `query` remains available as a legacy input alias for `logql` and preserves its previous override behavior: when supplied, structured filters are ignored. Do not supply both raw fields. </important_notes> <notice> Notice: Write mode active. Destructive tools are exposed. For tools with `destructiveHint: true`, NEVER invoke autonomously; always ask the user first. </notice>
