New Neon backend region (AWS Europe Frankfurt), new AI Gateway models (Fable 5.1, GLM 5.3 Flash, Grok 4.6, OpenAI GPT-6 Astra), Grok Bot plugin availability, and CLI updates (neon init improvements, neon env pull now writes Function URLs).
Aug 28, 2026 ADD NEON TO YOUR CODING AGENTSep 04, 2026 NEON BACKEND IN EUROPE, PLUS NEW AI GATEWAY MODELS The Neon backend is now available in AWS Europe (Frankfurt) (aws-eu-central-1), alongside AWS US East (Ohio) (aws-us-east-2). If you build in Europe, you can now run these services closer to your users and data. The AI Gateway catalog also gains new models, callable through the same API and key as the rest of the catalog: * Fable 5.1 * GLM 5.3 Flash * Grok 4.6 * OpenAI GPT-6 Astra (landing soon) [...] NEON CLI UPDATES Two updates to the Neon CLI for setting up and connecting your projects: * A leaner neon init: it now does one focused job based on where you run it: in an empty directory it scaffolds a template and installs agent tooling (like neon bootstrap); in an existing app it installs a plugin (or skills and MCP), links your project, and writes a neon.ts config. Run it with npx, and pass -y and --agent for unattended runs: npx neon@latest init * neon env pull writes Neon Function invocation URLs: each function's public URL is written as NEON_FUNCTION_<SLUG>_BASE_URL, so one function can reach another from the environment. See Environment variables. neon env pullConfidence95% - ChangeAPI changelog
New Neon CLI commands for coding agents (mcp, skills, plugins), Postgres minor version rollout history documentation, new backend guides, fx MCP integration, Neon MCP server stalled-queries check, and new NAT gateway IPs/VPC endpoints in us-east-2.
Aug 21, 2026 FASTER LAKEBASE SEARCH SETUPAug 28, 2026 ADD NEON TO YOUR CODING AGENT Three new Neon CLI commands set up Neon in coding agents like Cursor and Claude Code, without manual config steps. Each runs an interactive walkthrough, or takes flags so you can script it. NEON MCP Installs the Neon MCP Server into your agents by writing their MCP config for you. [...] NEON MCP server updates * The inspect_database tool now includes a stalled-queries check. It returns a compute-wide snapshot of every client backend and parallel worker whose query group has been running longer than 30 seconds. * Stalled queries are now ranked with the oldest query group first. New NAT gateway IPs and Private Networking endpoints in us-east-2 * Added NAT gateway IP addresses and Private Networking VPC endpoint service names in AWS US East (Ohio) (us-east-2).

New changelog entries added for Aug 21, 2026 with updates to Lakebase Search extensions, Postgres minor versions, Neon CLI features, and MCP server changes; previous detailed changelog entries removed.
Subscribe Was this page helpful?Subscribe Aug 21, 2026 FASTER LAKEBASE SEARCH SETUP Lakebase Search is now easier to install. You can install both Lakebase Search extensions (lakebase_vector and lakebase_text) directly with the following CREATE EXTENSION statements from your SQL client or the Neon SQL Editor: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS lakebase_vector CASCADE; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS lakebase_text CASCADE; Previously, you had to run an SQL statement first to load the supporting libraries. We also updated both extensions to newer versions (lakebase_vector 1.0.1 and lakebase_text 0.1.1). POSTGRES MINOR VERSION UPDATES We updated supported Postgres versions to 14.24, 15.19, 16.15, 17.11, and 18.6.Confidence75%
