+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). If you already have them installed, see Update an extension to get the latest version.
+
+GET STARTED WITH LAKEBASE SEARCH
+
+Lakebase Search is a pgvector-compatible alternative for vector, keyword, and hybrid search that scales past a billion vectors, builds indexes 50–100x faster than HNSW, and stays ready after a scale-to-zero cold start. Follow the getting started guide to enable the extensions, load sample data, and run your first vector and keyword searches.
+
+POSTGRES MINOR VERSION UPDATES
+
+We updated supported Postgres versions to 14.24, 15.19, 16.15, 17.11, and 18.6. Minor releases bring you the latest upstream Postgres fixes and security patches.
+
+When a new minor version is available, Neon applies it the next time your compute restarts. For more about how we handle PostgreSQL minor version updates, refer to our Postgres version support policy.
+
+NEON CLI UPDATES
+
+Store credentials in your OS keyring. You can now keep a profile's credential in your operating system's keyring instead of a file. Pass --keyring to neon auth or neon profile create:
+
+neon auth --keyring
+
+The secret is stored in the macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service.
+
+Inspect every database at once. neon inspect db now inspects every database on the branch when you omit the database name, adding a database column to the output. Pass the database name to inspect a single database, which also scopes locks and long-running-queries so their names resolve correctly.
+
+NOTE
+
+This change is also available in the Neon MCP server's inspect_database tool.
+
+NEON MCP SERVER NOW AN OFFICIAL CLAUDE CONNECTOR
+
+The Neon MCP server is now listed in Claude's connectors. You can manage Neon from Claude: create projects and branches, run SQL, change schemas, and diagnose a slow query.
+
+In Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, go to Settings > Connectors, click Browse connectors, add Neon, and authorize access to your Neon account.
+

+
+INSTALL NEON AGENT SKILLS WITH PI
+
+You can now install Neon Agent Skills with Pi, straight from the repository:
+
+pi install git:github.com/neondatabase/agent-skills
+
+Pi reads the skills directly, so there's no separate sync step. This joins the existing install channels, including npx skills, the Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi Code plugins, and neon init.
+
+NEW NEON FUNCTIONS GUIDES
+
+Two new guides show what you can build on Neon Functions, which run alongside your database as part of the Neon backend:
+
+ * Automate Neon Functions deployments with GitHub Actions: set up CI/CD to deploy to production on merge and create preview functions for pull requests.
+ * Monitor Neon Functions with Sentry: add error tracking, structured logs, and request tracing.

 Above that section, the sidebar separates what belongs to project (Dashboard, Branches, Integrations, Settings) from what belongs to the branch (Overview, Credentials, Monitoring, Child branches). The branch picker sits between them, so it's clear which branch you're looking at when you open a service.
 
 Overview is now a summary of the branch you have selected. It lists each backend service with its status, so you can see what the branch actually has enabled without opening each one:

-PROJECT-LEVEL PERMISSIONS
-
-A feature you've been asking for is finally here. Until now, a person's access applied across your entire organization. We're excited to bring project-level permissions to Neon, so you can now grant people and agents access on individual projects, giving them only what they need where they need it. On any project, you can make someone a Viewer to see its resources, an Editor to change them, or an Admin to manage access and the project itself.
-
-AVAILABILITY
-
-The new model is available now for newly created organizations and will roll out to existing organizations soon.
-
-Access works in two layers. When both apply, a user keeps the higher level of access:
-
- * Organization roles set a baseline across every project. There are now four: Admin (full control), Editor (work in every project, but can't delete or transfer them), Viewer (read-only), and Collaborator (no access until granted specific projects).
- * Per-project permissions raise that baseline on specific projects. Grant a member Viewer (read-only), Editor (connect, query, and edit resources), or Admin (manage access, settings, and the project lifecycle) on any project from Settings → Project permissions.
-
-For example, give a contractor the Collaborator role, which grants nothing by default, then Editor on just the two projects they work on. Or give a teammate Viewer across the organization and Admin on the one project they own.
-
-Granting a per-project permission in the Neon Console [/docs/changelog/grant-project-permission.png?dpl=dpl_48bhunQfvK3mFmEg7nH9setoKWhK]
-
-You can manage the same access through the Neon API, so an orchestrator can provision a project and grant a worker agent scoped access to it:
-
-curl --request PUT \
-     --url 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects/{project_id}/members/{member_id}/role' \
-     --header 'authorization: Bearer $ORG_API_KEY' \
-     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
-     --data '{"role": "editor"}'
-
-The CLI doesn't have a dedicated command yet, but you can call the same route with the neon api passthrough.
-
-WHAT CHANGES FOR EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS
-
-When your organization is migrated, it moves to the new model automatically, and everyone keeps the access they have today. No action is required:
-
- * Admins stay Admins.
- * Members become Editors, with the same access under the new name.
- * Project creators become Admin on the projects they created.
- * People with project-share access become Editor on the projects shared with them.
-
-The older project collaboration feature is being replaced by the new Collaborator role plus per-project permissions.
-
-See User permissions for roles, per-project levels, and how the two layers combine.
-
-NEW GUIDES FOR BUILDING ON THE NEON BACKEND
-
-Two new guides show how to combine the Neon backend services, from long-running compute to LLM access, all in a single project that branches with your data:
-
- * Build durable background workflows with Inngest and Neon Functions: run a multi-step lead-enrichment pipeline on Neon Functions, with each step checkpointed so a failure retries just that step, and an executive summary generated through the Neon AI Gateway.
- * Build an LLM proxy with Neon Functions, Neon AI Gateway, and Managed Better Auth: host a secure proxy on Neon Functions that keeps your LLM keys off the browser, authenticates users with Managed Better Auth, enforces per-user rate limits in Postgres, and streams responses from the AI Gateway.
-
-SET UP THE NEON BACKEND WITH YOUR AI AGENT
-
-The backend services (Object Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway) are in beta in AWS us-east-2. To build with them, install the Neon agent skills so your assistant knows how to provision and wire them up:
-
-npx neon@latest init
-
-Then ask your assistant to get started with Neon. See the backend beta guide for access and setup.
-
-MORE WITH LAKEBASE SEARCH
-
-Lakebase Search adds scalable vector, keyword, and hybrid search to Postgres through the lakebase_vector and lakebase_text extensions. This week, two new resources show it in action:
-
- * Case study: CommSync runs text, vector, and hybrid search on Postgres with Lakebase Search. See how a unified business inbox powers its main inbox (BM25 text search), AI assistant (semantic search), and command palette (hybrid search with Reciprocal Rank Fusion) from a single database, cutting query latency from 19.5 seconds to 18.6 milliseconds.
- * Guide: Build image search over CLIP embeddings with Lakebase Search. Search a Flickr30k corpus by text, by image, and by caption from one vector(512) column, using the lakebase_ann index (IVF + RaBitQ) that builds 50 to 100 times faster than HNSW.
-
-To get started, load the Lakebase Search preload libraries, then create the extensions:
-
-CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS lakebase_vector CASCADE;
-CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS lakebase_text CASCADE;
-
-FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
-
-Spending notifications
- * Spending limits have been renamed to spending notifications. On Launch and Scale plans, spending notifications alert organization admins when monthly Neon charges reach 80% and 100% of a threshold you set, so you can catch rising usage early and avoid a surprise bill at the end of the month. See Spending notifications for more.
-
-Neon MCP Server
- * The describe_table_schema tool now supports schema-qualified table names, such as crm.contacts. Previously it resolved only tables in the public schema, so describing a table in another schema could return the wrong table or fail. A missing table now returns a clean "table not found" error.
-
-Drizzle Studio
- * The Drizzle Studio integration that powers the Tables page in the Neon Console has been updated to version 1.5.1. New features include multi-column sorting, keyboard shortcuts, and the ability to copy table creation statements or export rows as SQL insert statements. For the full list, see the Neon Drizzle Studio Integration Changelog.
