Neon CLI

Neon CLI is the shell interface for managing Neon Postgres projects and branch-oriented database workflows. It covers project lifecycle work, branch operations, access controls, and connection setup without relying on the web console.

• Create, inspect, update, delete, and recover Neon projects, then save default org or project context for follow-up commands.
• Create, reset, restore, diff, expire, and set default branches, plus add compute and inspect long-running operations.
• Manage databases, roles, IP allowlists, and VPC endpoint restrictions, then generate branch-specific connection strings or open psql.

• Global --output json|yaml|table support makes inspect and mutation commands straightforward to parse in scripts or follow-up agent steps.
• API key auth, explicit IDs, and saved context files make multi-step inspect/change/verify loops practical.
• Fresh setups fall back to browser OAuth, and missing org context can trigger interactive prompts, so unattended runs should provide --api-key and explicit scope.

• Default auth opens a browser, and CI explicitly rejects interactive auth.
• When org context is missing, some project commands can prompt you to choose and optionally save an organization.
