OCI

You deploy and run an MCP server that lets large language models interact with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources. This server exposes a set of MCP tools to manage OCI compartments, compute resources, databases, networking, storage, and more, enabling you to perform actions from your MCP client without leaving the chat or automation environment.

How to use

You use an MCP client to connect to the OCI MCP server and execute the available OCI-related tools. Start the server locally, then instruct your MCP client to call the tools by name. You can operate in two modes: dynamic profile selection (recommended) where you choose an OCI profile at runtime, or a fixed profile loaded at startup. You can switch between OCI tenancies without restarting the server by selecting a different profile from your MCP client.

How to install

Prerequisites: install Python 3.10 or higher and ensure you have OCI CLI configured with valid credentials.

Install the required Python packages and the MCP server itself using the following commands.

pip install git+https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk.git
pip install oci fastapi uvicorn click pydantic loguru
pip install -e .

Starting the server

Choose a startup method based on whether you want to select OCI profiles at runtime or preload a default profile.

# Option 1: Dynamic Profile Selection (Recommended)
python -m mcp_server_oci.mcp_server

# After startup, manage profiles from your MCP client with:
# - list_oci_profiles
# - set_oci_profile
# - get_current_oci_profile

# Option 2: With Default Profile
python -m mcp_server_oci.mcp_server --profile DEFAULT

Switching between tenancies

Use your MCP client to switch OCI profiles without restarting the server. List available profiles, activate a different one, then verify the current profile.

# In your MCP client:
"Show me available OCI profiles"

# Switch to another tenancy
"Switch to the 'production' OCI profile"

# Verify the active profile
"What OCI profile am I using?"
