About PlanetScale MCP Server
Empower your AI agents to manage your PlanetScale serverless infrastructure seamlessly. Leverage the power of Vitess-backed MySQL without leaving your IDE. Ask your AI to branch a production database for testing, list regions, or drop obsolete schema forks instantly.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple PlanetScale tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Database Provisioning — Instantly list (
list_databases), inspect, create (create_database), or destroy serverless MySQL clusters running across global regions. - Branch Management — Harness PlanetScale's Git-like schema workflows. Direct your LLM to spawn a temporary
shadow-testbranch cloned frommain(create_branch), allowing consequence-free migrations before orchestrating Deploy Requests. - Infrastructure Exploration — Discover strict organizational IDs (
list_organizations) and query available physical cloud provider edges (list_regions) to optimize latency targets.
The PlanetScale MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
How to Connect PlanetScale to Windsurf via MCP

Open MCP Settings
Go to Settings → MCP Configuration or press Cmd+Shift+P and search "MCP"
Add the server
Paste the JSON configuration above into mcp_config.json
Save and reload
Windsurf will detect the new server automatically
Start using PlanetScale
Open Cascade and ask: "Using PlanetScale, help me..." — 10 tools available
Why Use Windsurf with the PlanetScale MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with PlanetScale through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows — Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
PlanetScale + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the PlanetScale MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from PlanetScale and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query PlanetScale tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from PlanetScale and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine PlanetScale data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
PlanetScale MCP Tools for Windsurf (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect PlanetScale to Windsurf via MCP:
create_branch
Does *not* duplicate data (creates an empty schema clone of the parent) for secure CI testing uncoupled entirely from `main` load balancing layers. Fork a PlanetScale schema mapping to a new isolated Branch
create_database
Creates empty environments ready to execute explicit DDL definitions via non-blocking Deploy Requests. Provision a radically scalable Serverless Database instance
delete_branch
Utilized constantly within CI/CD pipelines following a successful Deploy Request morphing `main` schema structure directly. Purge an obsolete Git-like Schema testing ground
delete_database
Dropping the database effectively wipes terabytes of records scattered globally. Fails fully if unacknowledged connection logic binds it. Destroy a PlanetScale MySQL construct irreversibly
get_branch
Returns access hostnames for code integration. Deconstruct the layout of a single explicit Database Branch
get_database
Analyze core configuration of a specific MySQL cluster logic
list_branches
Essential for migrating schemas without locking production reads/writes. List Development Database Branches mirroring Prod architectures
list_databases
Retrieves explicitly mapping IDs orchestrating distributed Vitess backend shards. List high-availability PlanetScale MySQL DB distributions
list_organizations
Used solely to resolve the foundational string key prerequisite for all subsequent MySQL endpoint management. List root PlanetScale organizational identifiers
list_regions
Critical reference required during new Database/Branch physical provisioning routines. Locate physical edge availability zones supported by Vitess
Example Prompts for PlanetScale in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with PlanetScale immediately.
"List all physical cloud regions currently exposed by the PlanetScale integration."
"We're starting a new feature. Fork testing branch from the main database 'store-backend'."
"Drop the specific 'staging-01' branch inside the 'web-portal' database."

PlanetScale + Windsurf FAQ
Common questions about integrating PlanetScale MCP Server with Windsurf.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.Connect PlanetScale with your favorite client
