Neon adds reactive SQL, eleven models and restricted MCP roles

16 October 2026NeonInfrastructure and agents

The changelog combines real-time apps, inference and least-privilege agent access.

Realtime in public beta

Realtime turns a SQL query into a subscription updated with the data, with SSR, local writes and support for branching and scale-to-zero.
The beta covers AWS us-east-1, us-east-2, eu-central-1 and ap-southeast-1. Agents can use the neon-realtime skill or MCP server.
AI Gateway adds eleven models, including Haiku 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol and Grok 4.7; access remains tied to Launch/Scale plans and prepaid credits.
MCP can use a chosen Postgres role instead of the owner; get_connection_string is then disabled. run_sql_transaction is removed from read-only mode because it could write.

Reactive apps become easier to build; data access remains the sensitive point.

Check processing location and beta terms before entrusting sensitive data.

Belgium/EEA: eu-central-1 is among the announced Realtime regions; this does not prove all Gateway inference remains in the EEA.

Realtime regional coverage must not be extrapolated to other services. MCP permissions and latency were not tested.
