Summary

OpenAI has introduced support for MCP servers in ChatGPT, enabling users to connect external tools such as Neon's MCP server to manage Postgres projects directly from the chat interface. This integration allows users to query, monitor, and manage database activities by transforming ChatGPT into a comprehensive command center for infrastructure and applications. The MCP protocol facilitates seamless communication between AI editors and external services without the need for custom connectors for each integration. While this feature enhances productivity by allowing real-time interaction with databases, it is recommended for local development and IDE integrations rather than production environments due to potential security risks. The setup involves copying the MCP server URL, creating a connector in ChatGPT, authorizing through OAuth, and approving access in Neon, after which users can efficiently manage Neon projects using ChatGPT.
