ChangeAPI changelog
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).

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.

+Object Storage, Functions, and AI Gateway are in beta in AWS US East (Ohio) and AWS Europe (Frankfurt), and branch with your Postgres database, so your whole stack forks together.

+Get started
+
+NEON IS NOW AVAILABLE IN GROK BOT
+
+Neon is now available as a plugin in Grok Bot. Connect your Neon account once, then ask a Grok bot to work with your database:
+
+ * Create a project and get a connection string for your app
+ * Spin up an isolated branch before testing a migration
+ * List projects and spot databases you no longer need
+ * Run SQL against your database
+ * Set up routines that summarize database usage
+
+The plugin pairs Neon agent skills with the Neon MCP server, so Grok Bot has both the context and the authenticated tools to act on your account.
+
+To install, open the Neon plugin in Grok Bot and authorize Neon in the browser. You can also open Grok Bot's Plugins directory and search for Neon, or ask Grok to connect the Neon plugin. Read more in the blog post.

-ELECTRIC JOINS NEON
-
-Electric, the team behind the Electric sync engine and PGlite, is joining Neon. The sync engine keeps data continuously synchronized between a central Postgres database and connected clients such as browser tabs, mobile apps, and agents, so you can build real-time, collaborative, and agentic apps without hand-rolling websockets, caching, and a sync layer.
-
-Real-time sync is hard to get right on your own: conflict resolution, partial replication, and reconnection logic are difficult to build from scratch. Electric turns it into a reusable primitive that handles the hard parts, so agents can add live, collaborative features by default instead of wiring up sync themselves.
-
-Electric is coming to the Neon platform alongside Neon's other backend services (Lakebase Postgres, Auth, Storage, Functions, and the AI Gateway), with deeper integration already underway. To get familiar now, our guide to Electric on Neon walks through real-time sync with Shapes and a React app.
-
-Read the full announcement: Electric is joining team Neon at Databricks.
-
-NEON AI GATEWAY IS NOW A VERCEL AI SDK PROVIDER
-
-The Neon AI Gateway gives you one API and one credential for 42+ frontier and open-source models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more), built into your Neon branch. It's now a community provider for the Vercel AI SDK: point the SDK at your branch and swap models without per-provider SDKs or keys.
-
-import { neon } from '@neon/ai-sdk-provider';
-import { generateText } from 'ai';
-
-const { text } = await generateText({
- model: neon('gpt-5-mini'),
- prompt: 'What is serverless Postgres?',
-});
-
-Set NEON_AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL and NEON_AI_GATEWAY_TOKEN from your branch, or pull them with neon env pull.
-
-FREE AI GATEWAY CREDITS ON PAID PLANS
-
-While in beta, Neon paid-plan users get free AI Gateway credits. To try it out, see Get started with Neon AI Gateway.
-
-NEON'S SKILLS AND MCP INSTALL IN ANY AGENT
-
-SUPPORT FOR AGENT PLUGINS 1.0.0
-
-Neon's agent skills and MCP server now ship as an Agent Plugins package, an open standard for extending agents with skills and MCP. Point any conforming client, such as Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Kiro, or VS Code, at the repo to load them straight from source.
-
-All existing native plugins remain available:
-
- * Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add neondatabase/agent-skills, then /plugin install neon-postgres@neon
- * Cursor: /add-plugin neon-postgres
- * Kimi Code: /plugins install https://github.com/neondatabase/agent-skills
-
-NEON CLI UPDATES
-
-The CLI keeps growing. Recent additions include a branch-first workflow (neon link, neon checkout, neon psql, neon data-api) and commands for the new backend services (neon functions, neon buckets); see the CLI reference for the full set. Two of the latest:
-
-neon env pull gained a --service flag to pull credentials for only the services you name, repeatable for more than one:
-
-neon env pull --service ai-gateway --service postgres
-
-neon open (neonctl 3.2.0) opens your linked project's dashboard in the Neon Console, straight from the terminal:
-
-neon open
-
-INSPECT A DATABASE FROM THE NEON MCP SERVER
-
-We first shipped these diagnostics as the neon inspect db CLI command. The same checks are now built into the Neon MCP server as the inspect_database tool. It runs the same 14 read-only diagnostics: table and index sizes, unused indexes, sequential scans, long-running queries and locks, heavy and frequent statements, cache hit rate and working set, autovacuum and bloat, and replication state. Ask your assistant why a branch is slow or large without writing catalog SQL by hand.
-
-Don't have the MCP server set up yet? Install it with neon init:
-
-npx neon@latest init
-
-NEON FOR HERDR
-
-Neon for Herdr puts a live Neon pane in your Herdr terminal workspace. Browse projects, create and reset branches, start or suspend compute, and copy connection strings without leaving your editor.
-
-herdr plugin install neon-solutions/neon-herdr
-herdr plugin action invoke neon.herdr.dashboard

-New NAT gateway IPs and VPC endpoint services in US West (Oregon) and Asia Pacific (Singapore)
-
-We've added NAT gateway IP addresses and VPC endpoint service addresses for Private Networking in AWS US West (Oregon) (us-west-2) and Asia Pacific (Singapore) (ap-southeast-1).
-
-UPDATE YOUR IP ALLOWLISTS
-
-If you allowlist Neon's NAT gateway IPs on external systems, add the new addresses, or connections may be affected intermittently.
-
-See Regions for the full IP list and the Private Networking guide for VPC endpoint services by region.
