Official serverRemoteDatabases

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neon": {
      "url": "https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Neon is hosted by Neon, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Neon can do. Create and manage Neon Postgres projects, branches and databases, and run SQL. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
