Neon launched as a plugin for Cursor's new marketplace, enabling developers to provision, branch, and restore Postgres databases directly from their IDE. The plugin combines Neon's MCP Server for live access with structured workflows. Neon's serverless architecture offers instant database branching using copy-on-write storage, scale-to-zero compute, point-in-time restores without data copying, and a mature API designed for programmatic access. These features make database environments as disposable as git branches, ideal for testing migrations, reproducing bugs, and iterative development workflows.
