    description: The PlanetScale Platform API provides programmatic access to manage PlanetScale serverless
      MySQL databases. It allows developers to create and delete database branches, manage deploy requests,
      automate password and connection string management, and integrate PlanetScale into CI/CD pipelines
      and infrastructure-as-code workflows. The API supports authentication via service tokens and OAuth,
      and its base URL is https://api.planetscale.com/v1 with an OpenAPI 3.0 specification available for
      download.

    description: PlanetScale OAuth allows developers to create OAuth applications that can access users'
      PlanetScale accounts on their behalf. The implementation supports the Authorization Code grant type,
      enabling third-party applications to authenticate users and obtain delegated access to PlanetScale
      resources. This is particularly useful for building integrations and tools that need to interact
      with organization-level PlanetScale endpoints on behalf of multiple users.

    description: The PlanetScale CLI (pscale) is a command-line tool that brings PlanetScale database
      management to the terminal. It allows developers to create, delete, and list databases and branches,
      open interactive MySQL shells for database branches, and manage deploy requests directly from the
      command line. The CLI is available via Homebrew and as a downloadable binary, and includes a Model
      Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI tools with direct access to PlanetScale databases.
