MCP server: Branch metrics
UpdateyesterdayUnverifiedAdded Oct 10, 2026
The PlanetScale MCP server can now check your database's metrics. planetscale_get_branch_metrics pulls CPU, memory, disk, replication lag, and connections into your AI assistant, so you can see those numbers without leaving your editor. It works for Vitess, Postgres, and Neki.
Topics: MCP, SQL, Data integration, Postgres, Observability
More PlanetScale releases
Every PlanetScale releaseRetry a partially failed deploy request
Vitess deploy request's now have the ability to recover from partial failures. If part of a migration has failed, the deploy request page will now provide the option to retry the failing tables instead of starting the entire deploy over. Retry will restart the migration for only the failed tables.
Limit MCP query access for an organization
Organization administrators can now limit the database query access members grant to MCP clients. In organization settings, MCP query access can be set to no query access, read-only queries, or read and write queries. This applies the next time someone authorizes an MCP client.
Postgres dedicated read replicas
PlanetScale Postgres now supports independently configurable dedicated read replicas. Create one or more dedicated read replicas in the primary region or another region from the same cloud provider. Configure the cluster size, replica count, storage, and supported Postgres parameters independently from the primary cluster.
New reparent metrics for Prometheus
We've added two Prometheus metrics that show when a shard's primary changed, and why: planetscale_vitess_planned_reparents_total counts planned reparents, such as the ones that happen during maintenance or when you request one.
Change Vitess keyspace parameters from the CLI
We've added pscale keyspace parameters to the CLI. You can now view and change the VTTablet and MySQL parameters of a Vitess keyspace from your terminal. pscale keyspace parameters set mydb main mydb --org acme \ --parameters vttablet.vreplication-parallel-insert-workers=4 \ --parameters mysqld.wait_timeout=600 pscale keyspace parameters list shows each...
Choose a role when inviting organization members
We've updated organization invitations so you can pick a member's role before you send the invite. New members will now join with the role you selected instead of defaulting to Organization Member. This means you no longer have to wait for them to accept and then change their role on the Members page. Learn more about access control
Schema recommendation webhooks for Postgres
branch.schema_recommendation webhooks will now fire for Postgres databases when PlanetScale creates a new schema recommendation. Set a custom Authorization header on the webhook and those deliveries can start a Cursor or Devin agent automatically. PlanetScale sends the authorization_header value as the HTTP Authorization header on every delivery.
Set a development branch limit
You can now control how many development branches a database is allowed to have. The default is 100. You'll find the setting on the Settings page for your database. If you hit the limit, delete unused development branches or raise the cap before creating more. You can set the limit from 1 to 5,000. Vitess system limits Postgres branching

Use OpenJev as the evaluator for LLM-as-a-judge service policies (Beta)
You can now select OpenJev (Qwen3.5 4B) as the evaluator model service of a custom LLM-as-a-judge service policy. OpenJev classifies content without generating output tokens, so it typically responds faster than a chat evaluator. See Use OpenJev as the evaluator .
