# Prisma Postgres Setup
Procedural skill that guides you through provisioning a new Prisma Postgres database via the Management API and connecting it to a local project.
## When to Apply
Use this skill when:
- Setting up a new Prisma Postgres database for a project
- Creating a Prisma Postgres project and connecting it locally
- Obtaining a connection string for Prisma Postgres
- Provisioning a database via the Management API (not the Console UI)
Do **not** use this skill when:
- Setting up CI/CD preview databases — use `prisma-postgres-cicd`
- Building multi-tenant database provisioning into an app — use `prisma-postgres-integrator`
- Working with a database that already exists and is connected (schema/migration tasks are standard Prisma CLI)
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- A Prisma Postgres workspace (create one at https://console.prisma.io if needed)
- A workspace service token (see `references/auth.md`)
## UX Guidelines
When presenting choices to the user (region selection, project deletion, etc.), **use your platform's interactive selection mechanism** (e.g., `ask` tool in Claude Code, structured prompts in other agents). Do not print static tables and ask the user to type a value — present selectable options so the user can pick with minimal effort.
## Workflow
Follow these steps in order. Each step includes the API call to make and how to handle the response.
### Step 1: Authenticate
You need a service token. Try these methods in order:
**1a. Token in the user's prompt**
Check if the user included a service token in their initial message (e.g., "Set up Prisma Postgres with token eyJ..."). If so, use it **exactly as provided** — do not truncate, re-encode, or round-trip it through a file. Store it in a shell variable for subsequent calls.
**1b. Token in the environment**
Check for `PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN` in the environment or `.env` file.
**1c. Ask the user to create one**
If no token is available, instruct the user:
> Create a service token in Prisma Console → Workspace Settings → Service Tokens.
> Copy the token and paste it here.
Read `references/auth.md` for details on service token creation.
Once you have a token, store it in a shell variable (`PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN`) and use it for all subsequent API calls.
### Step 2: List available regions
Fetch the list of available Prisma Postgres regions to let the user choose where to deploy.
```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN" \
https://api.prisma.io/v1/regions/postgres
```
The response contains an array of regions with `id`, `name`, and `status`. Only present regions where `status` is `available`.
**Present the regions as an interactive menu** — let the user pick from options rather than typing a region ID manually.
Read `references/endpoints.md` for the full response shape.
### Step 3: Create a project with a database
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://api.prisma.io/v1/projects \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "<project-name>",
"region": "<region-id>",
"createDatabase": true
}'
```
Use the current directory name as the project name by default.
The response is wrapped in `{ "data": { ... } }`. Extract:
- `data.id` — the project ID (prefixed with `proj_`)
- `data.database.id` — the database ID (prefixed with `db_`)
- `data.database.connections[0].endpoints.direct.connectionString` — the direct PostgreSQL connection string
Use the **direct** connection string (`endpoints.direct.connectionString`). Do not use the pooled or accelerate endpoints — those are for legacy Accelerate setups and not needed for new projects.
If the response status is `provisioning`, wait a few seconds and poll `GET /v1/databases/<database-id>` until `status` is `ready`.
**If creation fails due to a database limit**, list the user's existing projects and present them as an interactive menu for deletion. After the user picks one, delete it and retry.
Read `references/endpoints.md` for the full request/response shapes.
### Step 4: Create a named connection (optional)
If you need a dedicated connection (e.g., per-developer or per-environment), create one:
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://api.prisma.io/v1/databases/<database-id>/connections \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "name": "dev" }'
```
Extract the direct connection string from `data.endpoints.direct.connectionString`.
### Step 5: Configure the local project
1. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install prisma @prisma/client @prisma/adapter-pg pg dotenv
```
All five packages are required:
- `prisma` — CLI for migrations, schema push, client generation
- `@prisma/client` — the generated query client
- `@prisma/adapter-pg` — Prisma 7 driver adapter for direct PostgreSQL connections
- `pg` — Node.js PostgreSQL driver (used by the adapter)
- `dotenv` — loads `.env` variables for `prisma.config.ts`
2. Write the direct connection string to `.env`. **Append** to the file if it already exists — do not overwrite existing entries:
```
DATABASE_URL="<direct-connection-string>"
```
3. Verify `.gitignore` includes `.env`. Create `.gitignore` if it does not exist. Warn the user if `.env` is not gitignored.
4. Ensure `package.json` has `"type": "module"` set (Prisma 7 generates ESM output).
5. If `prisma/schema.prisma` does not exist, run `npx prisma init` to scaffold the project. This creates both `prisma/schema.prisma` and `prisma.config.ts`.
6. Ensure `schema.prisma` has the `postgresql` provider and **no** `url` or `directUrl` in the datasource block (Prisma 7 manages connection URLs in `prisma.config.ts`, not in the schema):
```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
}
```
7. Ensure `prisma.config.ts` loads the connection URL from the environment:
```typescript
import path from 'node:path'
import { defineConfig } from 'prisma/config'
import 'dotenv/config'
export default defineConfig({
earlyAccess: true,
schema: path.join(import.meta.dirname, 'prisma', 'schema.prisma'),
datasource: {
url: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
},
})
```
**Important Prisma 7 notes:**
- Connection URLs go in `prisma.config.ts`, never in `schema.prisma`
- The provider in `schema.prisma` must be `"postgresql"` (not `"prismaPostgres"`)
- `dotenv/config` must be imported in `prisma.config.ts` to load `.env` variables
### Step 6: Define schema and push
If the schema already has models, skip to pushing. Otherwise, **present these options as an interactive menu**:
1. **"I'll define my schema manually"** — Tell the user to edit `prisma/schema.prisma` and come back when ready. Wait for them before proceeding.
2. **"Give me a starter schema"** — Add a Blog starter schema (User, Post, Comment with relations) to `prisma/schema.prisma`. Show the user what was added and ask if they want to adjust it before pushing.
3. **"I'll describe what I need"** — Ask the user to describe their data model in natural language (e.g., "I'm building a task manager with projects, tasks, and team members"). Generate a schema from the description, show it, and ask for confirmation before pushing.
Once the schema has models and the user is ready, create a migration and generate the client:
```bash
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
```
This creates migration files in `prisma/migrations/` **and** generates the client in one step. Migration history is essential for CI/CD workflows (`prisma migrate deploy`) and production deployments.
Only use `npx prisma db push` if the user explicitly asks for prototyping-only mode (no migration history). In that case, follow it with `npx prisma generate`.
### Step 7: Verify the connection
After generating the client, create and run a quick verification script to confirm everything works end-to-end. This is **critical** — do not skip this step.
Create a file named `test-connection.ts`:
```typescript
import 'dotenv/config'
import pg from 'pg'
import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
import { PrismaClient } from './generated/prisma/client.js'
const pool = new pg.Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
const adapter = new PrismaPg(pool)
const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
const result = await prisma.$queryRawUnsafe('SELECT 1 as connected')
console.log('Connected to Prisma Postgres:', result)
await prisma.$disconnect()
await pool.end()
```
Run it:
```bash
npx tsx test-connection.ts
```
**Prisma 7 client instantiation rules:**
- Import from `./generated/prisma/client.js` (not `./generated/prisma`)
- Create a `pg.Pool` with the `DATABASE_URL` connection string
- Wrap it in a `PrismaPg` adapter
- Pass `{ adapter }` to the `PrismaClient` constructor
- Do **not** use `datasourceUrl` — that option does not exist in Prisma 7
- Do **not** use `new PrismaClient()` with no arguments — it will throw
After verification succeeds, delete `test-connection.ts`.
Then share links for the user to explore their database:
- **Prisma Studio (CLI):** `npx prisma studio` — opens a visual data browser locally
- **Console:** `https://console.prisma.io/<workspaceId>/<projectId>/<databaseId>/dashboard` — strip the prefixes (`wksp_`, `proj_`, `db_`) from the IDs returned in Step 3 to build this URL
Read `references/prisma7-client.md` for the full client instantiation reference.
## Error Handling
Read `references/api-basics.md` for the full error reference. Key self-correction patterns:
| HTTP Status | Error Code | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | `authentication-failed` | Service token is invalid or expired. Ask the user to create a new one in Console → Workspace Settings → Service Tokens. |
| 404 | `resource-not-found` | Check that the resource ID includes the correct prefix (`proj_`, `db_`, `con_`). |
| 422 | `validation-error` | Check request body against the endpoint schema. Common: missing `name`, invalid `region`. |
| 429 | `rate-limit-exceeded` | Back off and retry after a few seconds. |

# api-basics
Core conventions for the Prisma Management API. All three `prisma-postgres-*` skills share these patterns.
## Base URL
```
https://api.prisma.io/v1
```
API documentation: https://api.prisma.io/v1/doc
## Response Envelope
### Single resource
```json
{
"data": {
"id": "proj_clx7abc123def456",
"type": "project",
"name": "My Project",
"createdAt": "2025-06-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}
}
```
### Collection
```json
{
"data": [
{ "id": "proj_aaa", "type": "project", "name": "Alpha" },
{ "id": "proj_bbb", "type": "project", "name": "Beta" }
],
"pagination": {
"hasMore": true,
"nextCursor": "clx7cursor123"
}
}
```
## Resource ID Prefixes
Every resource ID carries a type prefix:
| Prefix | Resource |
|---|---|
| `proj_` | Project |
| `db_` | Database |
| `con_` | Connection |
| `wksp_` | Workspace |
Always include the prefix when sending IDs in API requests.
## Pagination
Collection endpoints use cursor-based pagination:
```
GET /v1/projects?limit=10
GET /v1/projects?cursor=clx7abc123&limit=10
```
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `cursor` | string | — | Opaque cursor from `nextCursor` |
| `limit` | number | 100 | Maximum items per page |
Continue fetching while `pagination.hasMore` is `true`, using `pagination.nextCursor` as the `cursor` parameter.
## Error Responses
All errors follow this shape:
```json
{
"error": {
"code": "resource-not-found",
"message": "database with id db_abc not found"
}
}
```
### Error codes by HTTP status
| HTTP Status | Error Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | `client-error` | Malformed request |
| 401 | `authentication-failed` | Missing or invalid token |
| 403 | `permission-denied` | Token lacks required access |
| 404 | `resource-not-found` | Resource does not exist or is not accessible |
| 422 | `validation-error` | Request body failed validation |
| 429 | `rate-limit-exceeded` | Too many requests |
| 500 | `internal-server-error` | Server error — retry after a delay |
### Self-correction patterns
- **401**: Token is invalid or expired. Create a new service token in Console → Workspace Settings → Service Tokens.
- **404**: Verify the resource ID includes the correct prefix (`proj_`, `db_`, `con_`). Use `GET /v1/projects` or `GET /v1/databases` to list available resources.
- **422**: Check the request body against the endpoint schema. Common issues: missing required fields, invalid region ID, empty `name`.
- **429**: Wait 25 seconds and retry. If repeated, increase the backoff interval.

# auth
How to authenticate with the Prisma Management API using service tokens.
## Service Tokens
Service tokens authenticate server-to-server requests. They are scoped to a workspace and grant access to all resources within it.
### Creating a service token
1. Open https://console.prisma.io
2. Navigate to **Workspace Settings****Service Tokens**
3. Click **Create Token**
4. Copy the token immediately — it is only shown once
### Using a service token
Set the token as an environment variable:
```bash
export PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN="eyJ..."
```
Include it in the `Authorization` header of every API request:
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN" \
https://api.prisma.io/v1/projects
```
### Token scope
Service tokens are workspace-scoped. A single token grants access to all projects, databases, and connections within the workspace. There are no project-scoped tokens at this time.
### Security practices
- Store tokens in environment variables or secret managers, never in source code
- Add `.env` to `.gitignore` to prevent accidental commits
- Rotate tokens periodically via Console → Workspace Settings → Service Tokens
- In CI/CD, store tokens as encrypted secrets (e.g., GitHub Secrets)
## OAuth 2.0 (for user-scoped access)
OAuth is used when acting on behalf of a user, typically in partner/integrator flows. See the `prisma-postgres-integrator` skill for OAuth details.
For standard database setup, service tokens are the recommended authentication method.

# endpoints
Management API endpoint details for database setup workflows.
## List regions
```
GET /v1/regions/postgres
```
No request body. Returns available Prisma Postgres regions.
**Response:**
```json
{
"data": [
{
"id": "us-east-1",
"type": "region",
"name": "US East (N. Virginia)",
"status": "available"
},
{
"id": "eu-west-1",
"type": "region",
"name": "EU West (Ireland)",
"status": "available"
}
]
}
```
Only use regions where `status` is `available`.
## Create project (with database)
```
POST /v1/projects
```
**Request body:**
```json
{
"name": "my-project",
"region": "us-east-1",
"createDatabase": true
}
```
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | No | Auto-generated | Project display name |
| `region` | string | No | `us-east-1` | Region for the database |
| `createDatabase` | boolean | No | `true` | Create a default database with the project |
**Response** (with `createDatabase: true`):
```json
{
"data": {
"id": "proj_clx7abc123",
"type": "project",
"url": "https://api.prisma.io/v1/projects/proj_clx7abc123",

"workspace": {
"id": "wksp_xyz789",
"url": "https://api.prisma.io/v1/workspaces/wksp_xyz789",
"name": "My Workspace"
},
"database": {
"id": "db_def456",
"type": "database",

}
}
}
],
"region": {
"id": "us-east-1",
"name": "US East (N. Virginia)"
}
}
}
}
```
Key field to extract:
- `data.database.connections[0].endpoints.direct.connectionString` → use as `DATABASE_URL`
The response also includes `pooled` and `accelerate` endpoints — ignore these for new projects. The direct connection string is all you need.
If `data.database.status` is `provisioning`, poll `GET /v1/databases/{id}` until `status` is `ready`.
## Get database
```
GET /v1/databases/{databaseId}
```
Use to check database status after creation or to retrieve database details.
**Response:**
```json
{
"data": {
"id": "db_def456",
"type": "database",
"url": "https://api.prisma.io/v1/databases/db_def456",
"name": "my-project",
"status": "ready",

"region": {
"id": "us-east-1",
"name": "US East (N. Virginia)"
}
}
}
```
## Create connection

POST /v1/databases/{databaseId}/connections
```
Creates a new named connection string for a database. Use for per-developer or per-environment connections.
**Request body:**
```json
{
"name": "dev"
}
```
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | Yes | Display name for the connection |
**Response:**

# Prisma 7 Client Instantiation
Prisma 7 changed how PrismaClient connects to databases. The CLI (`prisma db push`, `prisma migrate`) reads the URL from `prisma.config.ts`. But at **runtime**, you must provide a driver adapter to PrismaClient explicitly.
## Required packages
```bash
npm install @prisma/client @prisma/adapter-pg pg
```
- `@prisma/adapter-pg` — the Prisma adapter for the `pg` PostgreSQL driver
- `pg` — the underlying Node.js PostgreSQL driver
## Basic instantiation
```typescript
import 'dotenv/config'
import pg from 'pg'
import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
import { PrismaClient } from './generated/prisma/client.js'
const pool = new pg.Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
const adapter = new PrismaPg(pool)
const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
```
## Key rules
1. **Import path**: Always `./generated/prisma/client.js` — not `./generated/prisma` and not `@prisma/client`.
2. **Adapter is mandatory**: `new PrismaClient()` with no arguments throws. `new PrismaClient({ datasourceUrl: '...' })` also throws — `datasourceUrl` does not exist in Prisma 7.
3. **ESM required**: The generated client uses ESM. Ensure `package.json` has `"type": "module"`.
4. **Pool lifecycle**: Call `await pool.end()` when shutting down (after `prisma.$disconnect()`).
## Usage in application code
```typescript
import 'dotenv/config'
import pg from 'pg'
import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
import { PrismaClient } from './generated/prisma/client.js'
const pool = new pg.Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
const adapter = new PrismaPg(pool)
const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
// Create
const user = await prisma.user.create({
data: { email: 'alice@example.com', name: 'Alice' },
})
// Read with relations
const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({
where: { published: true },
include: { author: true },
})
// Update
await prisma.post.update({
where: { id: 1 },
data: { published: true },
})
// Delete
await prisma.post.delete({ where: { id: 1 } })
// Cleanup
await prisma.$disconnect()
await pool.end()
```
## Common mistakes
| Mistake | Error | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| `import { PrismaClient } from './generated/prisma'` | `Cannot find module` | Use `./generated/prisma/client.js` |
| `new PrismaClient()` | `PrismaClient needs non-empty options` | Pass `{ adapter }` |
| `new PrismaClient({ datasourceUrl: url })` | `Unknown property datasourceUrl` | Use adapter pattern instead |
| Missing `"type": "module"` in package.json | ESM import errors | Add `"type": "module"` |
| `import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'` | Wrong export | Use `./generated/prisma/client.js` |
