Neondatabase@Agent Skills

Overview of Neon, a complete set of cloud backend primitives for apps and agents, spanning Lakebase Postgres, Auth, the Data API, Object Storage, Compute Functions, and the AI Gateway. Start here to route to the right Neon skill, set up the CLI or MCP server, and follow the branch-first workflow. Use when "Neon" or "Lakebase Postgres" is mentioned, or when any of its individual capabilities are the trigger: "object storage" or "S3", "buckets", "serverless functions", "AI gateway", "call an LLM", "logs", "branch logs", "query logs", "log export", "Loki", "Grafana", "observability", "telemetry", "postgres", "database", or "backend". Also use when there is no Neon account yet, the user cannot sign in or provide an API key right now and needs a project they can claim later, or the user asks for a throwaway DATABASE_URL, Claimable Neon, Claimable Postgres, neon.new, claimable.neon.tech, instant Postgres, a no-signup database, temporary postgres, quick postgres, a no credit card database, or npx neon-new.

Guides and best practices for working with Lakebase Postgres, the database behind Neon. Covers setup, connection methods and drivers, pooled vs direct connections, branching, schema migrations, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, instant restore, read replicas, connection pooling, IP allow lists, and logical replication. Also covers Lakebase Search: semantic vector search, full-text search with BM25 ranking, and hybrid search. Use when users ask about "Lakebase Postgres", "Neon setup", "connect to Neon", "Neon project", "DATABASE_URL", "serverless Postgres", "Neon CLI", "neon", "Neon MCP", "Neon Auth", "@neondatabase/serverless", "@neondatabase/neon-js", "scale to zero", "Neon autoscaling", "Neon read replica", "Neon connection pooling", "schema migrations", "database troubleshooting", "Postgres performance", "neon inspect db", "semantic search", "vector search", "full-text search", "BM25", or "hybrid search".

One API and one credential for frontier and open-source LLMs, built into your Neon branch and powered by Databricks. Use when a user wants to call an LLM, add AI/chat/an agent to their app, route between model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini, Meta, Alibaba, and more), or avoid juggling separate provider API keys and accounts — especially when they already use Neon and want AI requests to branch with their project. Works with the OpenAI SDK, Anthropic SDK, google-genai, the Vercel AI SDK, and Mastra by changing only the base URL. Triggers include "call an LLM", "add AI to my app", "chat completion", "model routing", "LLM proxy/gateway", "one API for all models", "use Claude/GPT/Gemini", "AI SDK", "Mastra agent", "Neon AI Gateway", and "log/rate-limit AI calls".
