Features

Compute - List, manage, and control VM instances
Object Storage - Manage buckets and objects
Block Storage - List block and boot volumes
Networking - VCNs, subnets, and network management
Autonomous Database - ATP/ADW database operations
IAM - Users, groups, policies, and compartments

Setup

1. Install Dependencies

cd ~/mcp-servers/oracle-mcp
npm install

2. Configure OCI

Ensure you have OCI CLI configured with a valid config file:

# ~/.oci/config should contain:
[DEFAULT]
user=ocid1.user.oc1..xxx
fingerprint=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
tenancy=ocid1.tenancy.oc1..xxx
region=us-chicago-1
key_file=~/.oci/api_keys/oci_api_key.pem

Or use session token authentication:

oci session authenticate

3. Add to Claude Code

Add to

~/.claude.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oracle": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/matthewkarsten/mcp-servers/oracle-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "OCI_CONFIG_FILE": "/Users/matthewkarsten/.oci/config",
        "OCI_PROFILE": "DEFAULT",
        "OCI_REGION": "us-chicago-1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

The server supports two authentication methods:

Session Token (recommended for interactive use)
- Uses
```
security_token_file
```
  from config
- Refreshable with
```
oci session refresh
```
API Key (for automation)
- Uses RSA key pair
- Requires fingerprint in OCI config

Usage Examples

User: List my OCI compute instances

Claude: [Uses oci_compute_list_instances tool]
Result:
- web-server-1 (VM.Standard.A1.Flex) - RUNNING
- db-server (VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro) - STOPPED

User: Start the db-server instance

Claude: [Uses oci_compute_instance_action with action=START]
Result: Instance db-server is now starting...
