4. Connect your Neon account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Neon or give it any Neon-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

"Create a new Neon project with autoscaling"
"Add a developer's email permission to a project"
"Spin up a new branch database for testing"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Neon account is ready to use.

What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Neon through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Neon MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Neon MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Neon account. It provides structured and secure access to your serverless Postgres databases and project infrastructure, so your agent can perform actions like managing projects, configuring authentication, creating branches, and automating database operations on your behalf.

Project management and insights: Retrieve detailed information about specific Neon projects, including configurations, workflows, and current status for monitoring or troubleshooting.
Automated role and permission setup: Grant email-based permissions, add new roles to branches, and streamline access control across your projects with granular, automated adjustments.
Seamless API key and authentication management: Create new API keys for organizations or projects, manage authentication flows, and securely handle access credentials for integrations.
Database and branch orchestration: Spin up new Postgres databases within branches, create and configure compute endpoints, and automate the creation of development, testing, or isolated environments as needed.
Custom project provisioning: Launch new Neon projects with advanced quota, resource, and networking settings—tailored to your application's requirements and operational best practices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Neon MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Neon tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Neon and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Neon tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Neon scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Neon data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

Abhi Arya

Co-founder, Opennote

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

Nirman Dave

CEO, Zams

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Ryan Yu

Founder, Extra Thursday

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.
