MCPMarketplace.dev — Coming Soon. The central directory for production MCP servers. This server will be listed at launch.


Oracle OCI Context MCP Server

Production-ready, multi-tenant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, OCI GenAI) secure, natural-language access to any OCI tenancy — 69 tools across 22 services.

Part of the OkOCI Platform: MCP Context → Inference Gateway (NVIDiOCI) → Deployment CLI (OkOCI Deploy).


Quickstart — Local (Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code)

uvx oci-context-mcp --print-config

Prints the ready-to-paste mcpServers block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oci": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["oci-context-mcp", "--transport", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "OCI_COMPARTMENT_ID": "ocid1.compartment.oc1...",
        "OCI_REGION": "us-phoenix-1"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires uv (brew install uv). Uses ~/.oci/config automatically.

Docker Deployment

# Build ARM64 image (matches OCI free tier A1.Flex shape)
export OCIR_NAMESPACE=$(oci artifacts container configuration get-namespace \
  --compartment-id $OCI_COMPARTMENT_ID --query 'data.namespace' --raw-output)

./scripts/push_to_ocir.sh

# Deploy infrastructure
cd infra
cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars  # fill in your values
terraform init
terraform apply

Terraform provisions the full ARCSEM stack in one apply:

  • Container Instance (ARM64, private subnet)

  • API Gateway (public HTTPS endpoint)

  • NSG (port 8000 from API Gateway subnet only)

  • Log Group + Monitoring alarm


Multi-Tenant SaaS (Roadmap)

The server is being extended to a multi-tenant hosted platform. Users connect their OCI tenancy via one cross-tenancy IAM policy — no API keys are ever stored.

Onboarding flow (coming):

1. User registers at okoci.dev (email + tenancy OCID)
2. System generates their tenant ID
3. User runs one IAM policy in their tenancy:
     Allow dynamic-group <okoci-dg-ocid> to read all-resources in tenancy
4. System probes and confirms access
5. User receives API key for the MCP endpoint

See docs/Main/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full SaaS architecture.


Connecting OCI Generative AI Agent

  1. Push image to OCIR and run terraform apply

  2. In OCI Console: Generative AI > Agents > Create agent

  3. Add tool: Custom > Model Context Protocol

  4. Set Remote MCP Server URL to terraform output mcp_server_url

  5. Authentication: Instance Principal


Authentication

Instance Principal (OCI hosted — recommended): Automatic, keyless. The Container Instance assumes the dynamic group role.

Config file (local development): Falls back to ~/.oci/config automatically.

Roadmap

Current — v2.5 (Single-Tenant)

  • 69 tools across 22 OCI services

  • STDIO transport — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code

  • HTTP transport — Docker, Container Instance

  • ARCSEM stack — full Terraform IaC

  • ARM64 Docker image — OCI free tier compatible

  • API Gateway — public HTTPS, private CI

v3.0 — Multi-Tenant SaaS

  • Per-request OCIAuthManager (cross-tenancy signer)

  • Tenant registry (OCI Autonomous DB)

  • API key service (issuance, rotation, revocation)

  • Landing page + sign-up flow

  • JWT auth policy on API Gateway

  • Per-tenant rate limiting

  • Usage dashboard

v3.5 — NVIDiOCI Inference Integration

  • MCP tool: route_inference() — call NVIDiOCI gateway from MCP context

  • OCI state snapshot passed to inference request

  • NVIDIA NIM + Oracle GenAI routing

  • Structured deploy plan output format

v4.0 — OkOCI Deploy CLI

  • CLI consumes NVIDiOCI deploy plan JSON

  • Provisions OCI resources via Terraform + OCI SDK

  • Website, API, container deployment targets

  • Rollback support

  • Plugs into existing ARCSEM stack

F4 — Write Operations (parallel track)

  • Write tools with confirmation + rollback

  • start/stop compute instances

  • create/delete buckets

  • scale OKE node pools


Security

  • Instance Principal auth — no credentials stored or transmitted

  • Cross-tenancy IAM — user controls access, revokes by deleting one policy

  • Private subnet — Container Instance has no public IP

  • API Gateway — single public ingress, CORS locked to gateway hostname

  • NSG — port 8000 accessible only from API Gateway subnet

  • OCI Vault — secrets never in environment variables in production

  • Telemetry — local JSONL only, no data leaves the host
