Summary: The Neon Cursor plugin bundles the neon-postgres skill set and Neon MCP server configuration into Cursor, giving the AI assistant both workflow-level guidance and tool-driven database operations such as creating branches, running SQL, and listing projects. Use this page to install Neon database capabilities in Cursor when you want natural language database management without leaving the editor. Install with /add-plugin neon-postgres in Cursor chat, or run npx neon@latest init for automatic setup across supported editors.

The Neon Cursor plugin adds Neon-specific Skills and MCP integration to Cursor so your assistant can both reason about best practices and take database actions.

It is distributed from the Neon agent-skills repository and packages:

• The neon-postgres Skill bundle for Neon workflows
• Neon MCP server access for project and database operations
• Shared plugin packaging designed for both Cursor and Claude Code

The plugin combines guidance and actions:

• Skills provide workflow-level instructions for tasks like choosing a connection method, setting up ORMs, and using Neon branching patterns.
• MCP integration allows tool-driven operations such as listing projects, creating branches, and running SQL through Neon APIs.

Together, this gives Cursor enough context to suggest the right approach and enough capability to execute it.

The Cursor plugin currently includes:

• Neon Skill bundle (neon-postgres)
• Neon MCP server configuration for natural language database management

For plugin packaging details, see the Cursor plugin template.

1. Open Cursor chat and run:

   /add-plugin neon-postgres

2. After installation, prompt Cursor with:

   Get started with Neon

3. Follow the prompts to complete authentication and start using Neon Skills and MCP tools.

If you want Neon to configure AI tooling automatically, run:

npx neon@latest init

This configures MCP and installs Neon agent skills for supported editors. To install just the Neon MCP server for Cursor, run npx neon@latest mcp --agent cursor. To install just agent skills for Cursor, run npx neon@latest skills --agent cursor. To install the plugin (skills plus MCP) for Cursor, run npx neon@latest plugins --agent cursor.
