6 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- PlanetScale official maintenance.
- Apache-2.0 license.
- Branch-aware tool surface (create_branch, list_deploy_requests).
- PlanetScale platform itself is mature and battle-tested.
- Very early stage: 4 GitHub stars, 1 commit on main in the last 30 days.
- Tier 2 score reflects MCP maturity, not platform maturity.
- Tool surface incomplete relative to the PlanetScale CLI; expect breaking changes.
Service tokens are scoped per-database; create separate tokens per agent context. execute_query carries write capability; restrict to non-production branches for agent flows.
PlanetScale teams adopting agentic schema migration workflows; engineers who want agents to query a PR branch without touching main; developers exploring the new MCP API as PlanetScale ships features.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
