1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"neon","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Neon is hosted by Neon, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) 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.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
- · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
