SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @neon/config, @neon/env, @neon/sdk, @neon/functions, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up a cloud backend requires choosing and wiring together a database, authentication, file storage, serverless compute, and LLM access. This Skill guides an AI agent through provisioning and operating Neon's full set of backend primitives around Lakebase Postgres using the Neon CLI, MCP server, and the neon.ts infrastructure-as-code file. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Backend primitive selection: Maps app requirements (login, files, APIs, LLM calls, SQL) to the right Neon service and routes to specialized child skills like neon-postgres, neon-auth, and neon-functions. - CLI and MCP setup: Walks through installing the Neon CLI, linking projects, pulling environment variables, and installing additional agent skills. - Branch-first workflow: Drives copy-on-write database branches per feature using neon checkout, neon diff, and neon deploy with type-safe neon.ts configuration. - Claimable Neon: Provisions temporary no-signup Postgres projects that a human can later claim into their organization. - Use Case: While building a Next.js app, ask the agent to add login and file uploads. It provisions a Neon project, enables Managed Better Auth and Object Storage via neon.ts, deploys with neon deploy, and pulls the environment variables into your project. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to set up a Neon backend for your app with Postgres, authentication, and object storage using the Neon CLI.

Frequently Asked Questions about neon

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Neon Postgres database for my app?▼

Install the Neon CLI with npm i -g neon, then run neon init or neon link to connect your workspace to a project. The CLI pulls the branch's DATABASE_URL into your local env file automatically, and you can create isolated branches per feature with neon checkout.

How do I add authentication to a Neon-backed app?▼

Use the neon-auth skill, which implements Managed Better Auth with users and sessions stored in Postgres. Declare auth: true in neon.ts and run neon deploy, but keep existing Better Auth, Clerk, or Supabase Auth providers unless migration is requested.

Can I get a Postgres database without signing up for Neon?▼

Yes, Claimable Neon provisions a temporary project with Postgres and optional Auth before any account exists. The agent runs neon claim create, and a human can later claim the project into their organization before it expires.

Does Neon support serverless functions and cron jobs?▼

Neon Functions are long-running serverless functions deployed close to your database, supporting WebSocket, SSE, and HTTP streams. Function Triggers POST to a function on a cron schedule or when an object is created in a bucket, declared via a triggers map in neon.ts.

Which regions support Neon Object Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway?▼

Object Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway are available in aws-us-east-2, aws-us-east-1, aws-eu-central-1, and aws-ap-southeast-1. Projects in other regions must create a new project in a supported region to use these services.

When should I use the Neon Data API instead of Functions?▼

Use the Data API only when an app already depends on a PostgREST or Supabase database client that must keep working. New apps should query Postgres from Functions or existing route handlers, since browser-facing PostgREST with RLS is easy to misconfigure.
