v0.8.0 — MCP Server for AI-Assisted Plan Analysis

What's New

MCP Server

Performance Studio now includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to analyze execution plans loaded in the app.

13 read-only tools for plan analysis:

• list_plans, analyze_plan, get_plan_summary, get_plan_warnings
• get_missing_indexes, get_plan_parameters, get_expensive_operators
• get_plan_xml, compare_plans, get_repro_script
• get_connections, check_query_store, get_query_store_top

Query Store tools use only the built-in fetch query — no arbitrary SQL execution.

Setup:

1. Enable in ~/.planview/settings.json: { "mcp_enabled": true, "mcp_port": 5152 }
2. Add to your MCP client config:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "performance-studio": {
         "type": "streamable-http",
         "url": "http://localhost:5152/"
       }
     }
   }
