Database branching and deploy requests
Safe schema change workflows
SQL querying and performance analysis
Detailed Description
PlanetScale MCP server provides management capabilities for PlanetScale MySQL-compatible databases. Its unique branch and deploy request workflow makes database schema changes as safe and controlled as code pull requests.
Core Features
- SQL Query (execute_query): Execute SQL queries on a specified database branch, supporting both read and write operations
- Branch Management: Create and manage database branches — each branch is an independent database replica supporting isolated testing of schema changes
- Deploy Request: A Pull Request-like workflow for schema changes — create deploy requests for review before merging to the production branch
- Schema Viewing: Get database table structures, indexes, and relationship information
- Organization & Database Management: List and manage database instances within an organization
