How to Use Postgres MCP Server with GitHub Copilot in VS Code

GitHub Copilot, integrated with a Model Copilot Protocol (MCP) server, now enables database creation and management alongside code writing. This guide shows how to use the Neon Serverless Postgres MCP server with GitHub Copilot in VS Code to build a sample REST API. By connecting Copilot to Neon's MCP server, developers can generate database tables, understand schemas, and create API and data model code using natural language prompts. The process involves setting up a Neon database on Azure, configuring the MCP server in VS Code, and using Copilot to generate an Azure Function that interacts with the database, all through prompts rather than manual coding.
