New neon api CLI command; Cmd+K search in Console

Jul 10, 2026– A new neon api CLI command, Cmd+K in the Console, and more

Newneon apicommand in the Neon CLI

The Neon CLI now ships an api command: call any Neon Platform API route from the terminal using your existing CLI login, without hand-building curl requests or giving agents raw API keys.

Dedicated CLI commands cover common workflows, but the Platform API moves faster. With the neon api command, you get full API reach the moment an endpoint exists. Run neon api --list to browse every route from the OpenAPI spec.

Read the announcement for why we built this for agent workflows.

List projects for your organization:

neon orgs list
neon api /projects -Q org_id=org-cool-darkness-12345678

Create a dev branch on an existing project:

neon api /projects/late-frost-12345678/branches -X POST -F branch.name=dev

The -F branch.name=dev flag builds the JSON body { "branch": { "name": "dev" } } automatically. See the api command reference for query parameters, file bodies (-d @file), and output formats.

Cmd+K support for the Neon Console

You can now press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) from anywhere in the Neon Console to open a searchable command bar with actions scoped to your current branch and project: navigate to branches, open the SQL editor, create a snapshot, go to settings, and more.

Neon MCP Server: branch expiration on create

The Neon MCP Server create_branch tool now accepts an optional expiresAt parameter (ISO 8601) to set automatic branch deletion when creating a branch, matching the Neon API and console Auto-delete behavior. See branch expiration.

Connect the MCP Server in your editor:

npx add-mcp https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp

For full setup (API key auth, agent skills, and more), run npx neon@latest init. See Connect MCP clients to Neon.

New NAT gateway IPs and VPC endpoint services in US East (Ohio), Europe (London), and Asia Pacific (Singapore)

We've expanded infrastructure capacity in the AWS US East (Ohio) (us-east-2), Europe (London) (eu-west-2), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) (ap-southeast-1) regions with new NAT gateway IP addresses and new VPC endpoint service addresses for Private Networking.

Update your IP allowlists

If you have IP allowlists on external systems that Neon connects to, update those allowlists to include the new NAT gateway addresses. Connections may be affected intermittently if traffic routes through non-allowlisted NAT gateways.

If you use Private Networking in these regions, you can now use the additional VPC endpoint service addresses for enhanced capacity and reliability. See the Regions documentation for the complete list of NAT gateway IPs and the Private Networking guide for VPC endpoint service addresses by region.

Postgres turns 30

Postgres turned 30 on July 8. See our post on X.

Neon is a long-term bet on Postgres. We support Postgres 14 through 18 today, with Postgres 19 support on the way. Our team includes Postgres hackers who contribute upstream and support the wider ecosystem through our Open Source Program. We run standard Postgres, not a fork: Neon is Postgres, with serverless branching and autoscaling built around the database millions of developers already rely on.

Happy birthday, Postgres. 🎂🐘
