### Description (declared)

# neon-guard-mcp 🛡️

Neon's official MCP server is amazing, but giving an LLM full admin access to your infrastructure is terrifying. **neon-guard-mcp** acts as a local security proxy, giving your AI agent the exact tools it needs to branch and test code, while completely air-gapping your production data and master keys.

---

## Features

- **Default-deny whitelist** — only a small set of branch-scoped tools are exposed; there is no tool for deleting projects, managing users, modifying production, or accessing connection strings for branches the proxy did not create.
- **Provenance gating** — authorization to retrieve a connection string, delete, or reset a branch requires that the proxy itself created it (tracked in `.neon-guard-state.json`). A matching name prefix alone is not sufficient.
- **Schema-only branches by default** — new branches are created with `init_source: schema-only`, so no production rows are ever copied into an agent-accessible branch.
- **Short-lived branches** — configurable expiry (default 24 h); Neon deletes the branch automatically, invalidating the embedded credential.
- **Project allowlist** — the proxy refuses to act on any project not explicitly listed in your config, even if the API key has broader access.
- **NEON_API_KEY never leaves the proxy process** — the LLM receives only tool results, never the key itself.
- **Configurable tool disabling** — remove individual tools from the schema if your threat model requires it.

## Architecture

```
Claude Code (or any MCP client)
        |
        |  stdio (JSON-RPC)
        v
+---------------------------+
|   neon-guard-mcp proxy    |
|  - holds NEON_API_KEY     |
|  - enforces policy        |
|  - tracks provenance      |
|  - rewrites / filters     |
+---------------------------+
        |
        |  HTTPS (Neon REST API v2)
        v
   console.neon.tech
```

The LLM calls tools. The proxy validates every call against config and provenance state, then translates allowed calls in…
