Connect Adapt to Neon to query your serverless Postgres database and analyze your data using natural language. Adapt connects to Neon through a standard Postgres connection string, so you can explore tables and pull insights without writing SQL by hand.

​
Set up credentials

Adapt connects to Neon using your project’s Postgres connection string.
1

Open your Neon project

Sign in to the Neon Console and select your project.
2

Open the Connect widget

On the Project Dashboard, click Connect to open the Connect to your database modal.
3

Copy your connection string

Select the branch, database, and role you want Adapt to use, then copy the generated connection string. It looks like:
postgresql://alex:AbC123dEf@ep-cool-darkness-a1b2c3d4-pooler.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech/dbname?sslmode=require
Neon requires SSL, so keep the sslmode=require parameter in your connection string. You can toggle connection pooling in the Connect widget; the pooled host includes a -pooler suffix.

​
Connect to Adapt

1

Open Integrations

In Adapt, go to Settings > Integrations.
2

3

Click Connect to open the connection form.

You can rename the connection and choose whether it is shared with your organization or kept personal to you.
5

Test the connection

Ask Adapt to list your tables or query your data.

​
Security

  • Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256
  • Connect with a role that has only the privileges Adapt needs, such as read-only SELECT access
  • Keep sslmode=require so all connections use SSL
  • If your connection string is ever exposed, reset the role’s password in the Neon Console
  • Never share your connection string publicly or commit it to source control

​
