# 💚 Neon

Neon serverless Postgres — manage projects, branches, databases, roles, endpoints, and compute via the Neon API.

## Features

- **Project management** — create, list, delete projects
- **Branch management** — create, restore, delete branches
- **Database operations** — create and manage databases
- **Role management** — database users and permissions
- **Endpoint management** — connection endpoints and pooling
- **Compute scaling** — auto-suspend, compute size control
- **Connection strings** — generate connection URIs
- **Operations history** — track async operations
- **Consumption metrics** — compute hours, storage, transfer
- **Branch restore** — point-in-time restore from history

## Requirements

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `NEON_API_KEY` | ✅ | API key/token for Neon |

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/neon.py project-get proj-abc123
```

```bash
# Create a project
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/neon.py project-create '{"project":{"name":"my-app","region_id":"aws-us-east-1"}}'
```

```bash
# Delete a project
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/neon.py project-delete proj-abc123
```

```


## Output Format

All commands output JSON by default. Add `--human` for readable formatted output.

```bash
# JSON (default, for programmatic use)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/neon.py projects --limit 5

# Human-readable
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/neon.py projects --limit 5 --human
```

## Script Reference

| Script | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `{baseDir}/scripts/neon.py` | Main CLI — all Neon operations |

## Data Policy

This skill **never stores data locally**. All requests go directly to the Neon API and results are returned to stdout. Your data stays on Neon servers.
