Neon vs PlanetScale for Claude Code
Verdict
Neon has the stronger Claude Code integration today: Neon (5/5: official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with MCP server + 9 skills), versus PlanetScale (4/5: official Anthropic-marketplace plugin with MCP server (no bundled skills)). That doesn’t make it the better product for every team, but your agent will get more official tooling out of the box.
