MCP server: Send feedback and questions to PlanetScale
We've added two tools to the PlanetScale MCP server that let your AI agent tell us what got in its way. planetscale_submit_feedback : report a problem, such as a wrong result, a confusing error, a documentation gap, or a missing tool. planetscale_ask_question : record a question the docs and tools couldn't answer, so we know where to fill the gap.
Emergency backups for Vitess databases
We've added emergency backups to Vitess databases. An emergency backup will copy data directly from your running database instead of starting from the previous backup. This ensures you can get a fresh backup right away, even when regular backups are failing. On production branches, you can choose to copy from the primary or from a replica.
