Official serverRemoteDatabases

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planetscale": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pscale.dev/mcp/planetscale"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. PlanetScale is hosted by PlanetScale, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something PlanetScale can do. Inspect PlanetScale databases, branches, schema and query insights, and run SQL. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
