PlanetScale MCP Server

Authenticated MCP servers allow your AI tools to access information specific to your PlanetScale account. Access your PlanetScale organizations, databases, branches, schema, and Insights data from within your development tools. The hosted MCP server can be installed in development tools as well as other MCP-accessible tools like Claude in the web browser and desktop app.

Automated Database Optimization

Use the MCP server with AI coding agents to continuously optimize your database. Agents can review production Insights data and Schema Recommendations, then open pull requests with performance improvements — on a recurring schedule.
