Add the PlanetScale MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Inspect PlanetScale databases, branches, schema and query insights, and run SQL.
1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"planetscale","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.pscale.dev/mcp/planetscale"}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. PlanetScale is hosted by PlanetScale, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) 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.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
- · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
