Want Claude to handle this? Paste this into Claude Code or Cursor:
Check if my PlanetScale database is ready to connect to Ardent.
My connection string: [paste here]
Verify:
1. The host is reachable and credentials work
2. Logical replication is enabled in the PlanetScale dashboard
3. The user has replication privileges
Tell me exactly what to fix if anything fails, then run:
ardent connector create postgresql '<connection-string>'
Enable logical replication
In your PlanetScale dashboard, go to Settings > Integrations and enable Logical Replication. This allows Ardent to replicate your data for branching.
Find your connection string
Go to Connect > Connect with: Postgres in your PlanetScale dashboard and copy the connection string. It looks like:postgresql://user:password@aws.connect.psdb.cloud/mydb?sslmode=require
Connect your database
ardent connector create postgresql 'postgresql://user:password@aws.connect.psdb.cloud/mydb?sslmode=require'
Single quotes are important here: the ?sslmode=… part must not be interpreted by the shell.Ardent will verify your setup and begin replicating your database. This may take a few minutes depending on data size.Create your first branch
ardent branch create my-feature
Done. You now have an isolated copy of your PlanetScale database — schema, data, and all. The CLI returns a connection URL you can use anywhere.
