Introducing the New Neon API Command
The Neon CLI now ships an `api` passthrough command that gives your agent every Neon API endpoint the moment it exists.
Introducing @neon/sdk, our new TypeScript client for the Neon API
@neon/sdk is our new TypeScript client for the Neon API: fetch-based, zero-dependency and generated from our OpenAPI spec, with an ergonomic layer on top. It replaces @neondatabase/api-client.

Three new Neon CLI commands - neonctl link, checkout and env pull - make branch-first development the default for you and your agents.
