CockroachDB Plugin for Claude Code connects Claude Code to CockroachDB clusters, which are distributed databases, so the agent can work with schemas, SQL queries, and database operations. It is intended for developers, database administrators, and operators working with self-hosted or CockroachDB Cloud deployments. The catalogue entries provide its MCP connections, specialized agents, skills, and safety hooks.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00096 | $0.03028 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.01211 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00606 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00303 |
Grade A, and why
provisioning-cluster-for-production scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Provisioning Cluster for Production
Guides CockroachDB cluster creation and production deployment configuration. Before providing procedures, this skill gathers context to deliver tier-appropriate provisioning steps and production hardening guidance.
When to Use This Skill
- Creating a new CockroachDB cluster
- Preparing a development/staging cluster for production go-live
- Validating hardware and configuration for production readiness
- Choosing the right deployment tier and sizing
For post-deployment health checks: Use reviewing-cluster-health. For ongoing settings management: Use managing-cluster-settings. For capacity changes after deployment: Use managing-cluster-capacity.
Step 1: Gather Context
Required Context
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment tier? | Self-Hosted, Advanced, BYOC, Standard, Basic | Completely different provisioning procedures |
| Environment? | Production, Staging, Development | Determines hardware sizing and configuration rigor |
Additional Context (by tier)
If Self-Hosted:
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Platform? | Bare metal, VMs (AWS/GCP/Azure), Kubernetes | Changes installation and start commands |
| If Kubernetes? | Operator (recommended), Helm, Manual StatefulSet | Determines deployment method |
| Node count? | 3 (minimum), 5, 9+ | Affects topology and replication |
| Multi-region? | Yes (how many regions), No | Requires locality flags and topology planning |
| Expected workload? | OLTP, mixed OLTP/analytics, write-heavy | Affects hardware sizing |
| Security requirements? | TLS required, encryption at rest, CMEK | Determines certificate and encryption setup |
If Advanced or BYOC:
| Question | Options | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Provisioning method? | Cloud Console, Cloud API, Terraform | Determines procedure |
| Cloud provider? | AWS, GCP, Azure | Affects region selection and networking |
| Node count and size? | e.g., 3 nodes x 8 vCPUs | Determines initial capacity |
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

provisioning-cluster-for-production is a skill published in the GitHub repository cockroachdb/claude-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 3,028 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to provisioning-cluster-for-production, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
