neon-functions
neon-functions is an agent skill published by neondatabase, listed under deploy & operate. It lives in the neondatabase/agent-skills repository, which has 106 GitHub stars and is licensed under Apache-2.0; we last read it on 2026-10-27.
Long-running, serverless Node.js HTTP functions deployed onto your Neon branch, with DATABASE_URL injected automatically and compute that runs next to your data. Use when a user wants to host an API, an AI agent with long streaming responses, a WebSocket or server-sent-events (SSE) server, a webhook handler, a Discord bot, an MCP server, or any request/response workload that risks timing out on short, lambda-style serverless functions — and wants it to branch with their database. Also use for Function Triggers: a cron or an object-storage event that POSTs to a function. Triggers include "serverless function", "deploy an API", "long-running function", "streaming agent", "SSE server", "WebSocket server", "webhook handler", "MCP server", "cron", "function trigger", "scheduled function", "cron job", "object storage trigger", "on upload", "run code next to my database", "function that won't time out", "function logs", "Neon Functions", "Neon Compute", "DDoS protection", "rate limiting", and "production hardening".
Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads neondatabase/agent-skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.
