Pass --restore for a specific backup, or --from so the CLI can look up a backup that covers that time.

pscale branch create <database> <branch> --from <source-branch> --restore-point 2026-08-01T00:00:00Z

Three new tools:

  • planetscale_list_query_tags — the tags on a branch's queries, with their values and query counts
  • planetscale_get_query_tag — a single tag and its values
  • planetscale_list_query_tag_summaries — query statistics grouped by tag value, attributing total time, latency, rows read, and errors to an application, route, job, or user

Try it out with questions like:

  • "Which route tag is spending the most database time?"
  • "Break down rows read by my job tag over the last day"
  • "Which app tag is behind the errors on my production branch?"

]]> MCP server: Investigate query errors https://planetscale.com/changelog/mcp-query-errors 2026-08-25T22:39:00.000Z 2026-08-25T22:39:00.000Z The PlanetScale MCP server can now pull query errors from Insights to help debug failing queries.

Two new tools:

  • planetscale_list_query_error_patterns — failing queries on a branch, grouped by error fingerprint
  • planetscale_list_query_error_executions — the individual failed executions behind a given error fingerprint, including the normalized SQL and other metadata

Try it out with questions like:

  • "What queries are failing on my production branch?"
  • "Show me the most frequent errors from the last hour"
  • "Find the actual queries behind that duplicate key error"

]]> Update your payment method from the CLI and MCP https://planetscale.com/changelog/cli-mcp-payment-method 2026-08-24T23:52:00.000Z 2026-08-24T23:52:00.000Z You can now update the card on file for your organization from the CLI and the MCP server. Both send you to Stripe Checkout in a browser. We never collect the card number.

Use pscale billing payment-method update, or planetscale_update_payment_method from MCP. The CLI can also show or delete the card on file.

]]> MCP server: Fetch Postgres server logs https://planetscale.com/changelog/mcp-postgres-logs 2026-08-24T18:00:00.000Z 2026-08-24T18:00:00.000Z The PlanetScale MCP server has a new tool: planetscale_get_postgres_logs. It pulls server logs for a Postgres branch straight into your AI assistant, so you can dig into what your database was doing without leaving your editor.

Logs come back newest first, and you can narrow them down by log level (INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR), time range, server role (primary or replica), and pod name. The default window is the last hour. If you want something more specific, the query parameter takes a raw LogsQL filter, including pipe stages like error | stats count().

Ask questions like:

  • "Show me any errors in the Postgres logs for my default branch over the last 6 hours"
  • "What checkpoint activity happened on the primary this morning?"
  • "Count the warnings in yesterday's logs by hour"

]]> Query PlanetScale pricing with SQL https://planetscale.com/changelog/query-pricing-with-sql 2026-08-21T22:30:00.000Z 2026-08-21T22:30:00.000Z We've published a public, read-only Postgres database of PlanetScale cluster prices. You and your agent can now look up live SKUs, regions, and monthly rates with SQL instead of reading the calculator by hand.

The table is public.planetscale_prices. Grab the connection URI from the pricing page, or use the agent-friendly catalog in pricing.md.

]]> Manage live database connections in the dashboard https://planetscale.com/changelog/connections-dashboard 2026-08-21T19:50:00.000Z 2026-08-21T19:50:00.000Z You can now inspect and manage active Postgres and Vitess connections from the PlanetScale dashboard. Open a database and select Connections to see live sessions, queries, states, durations, and connection details.

Search and sort connections, filter sleeping Vitess sessions, and inspect blocked Postgres queries. You can cancel a running query or terminate its connection directly from the details panel.

]]> Prefer instant for deploy requests https://planetscale.com/changelog/prefer-instant 2026-08-20T19:50:00.000Z 2026-08-20T19:50:00.000Z We've added a Prefer instant setting for Vitess databases. Admins can turn it on to default the deploy button to Deploy changes instantly when that option is available.

This only affects the dashboard. CLI and API deploys still require the --instant flag or instant_ddl parameter.

Instant deployments skip the usual online migration and cannot be reverted. They also take a brief metadata lock and will kill queries holding locks on the table. Read about when they're available and the risks before turning this on as a default.
