Summary

Neonctl is a command-line tool designed to streamline the integration of the Neon platform with development environments like Cursor, allowing users to configure their Neon projects with a single command. By running `npx neonctl@latest init`, users can automatically set up the Neon MCP Server, authenticate their credentials, and configure their local development environment to interact with Neon's API. This integration provides Cursor with full project context, enabling it to guide users through complex database tasks such as migrations without needing to switch tools. An example use case demonstrated the migration of a Notes app from Supabase to Neon, showcasing how Cursor, using natural language commands, can manage the entire process from initial setup to successful migration. The tool's capabilities are set to expand to other IDEs, including VS Code and Claude Code, with the aim to enhance development workflow by providing conversational guidance on database best practices.
