OCI MCP Server

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tools, resources and prompts.

• 🔧 Tools: list/inspect Compute, Autonomous Databases, Object Storage, instance actions, quick security checks, (experimental) cost summaries

• 📚 Resources: oci://compartments etc.

• 🧠 Prompts: oci_analysis_prompt

• 🖥️ Works with Claude Desktop via stdio transport

Built with the official MCP Python SDK and the OCI Python SDK.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/karthiksuku/oci-mcp.git
cd oci-mcp
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
### Auth Prerequisites
- OCI CLI configured. By default this server reads credentials from `~/.oci/config`.
  - Create it with: `oci setup config`
  - macOS/Linux: `~/.oci/config`
  - Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.oci\config`
  - Override via `OCI_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/config` or a `.env` file.
# ensure you've run: oci setup config
python oci_mcp_server.py  # starts stdio MCP server

Add to Claude Desktop

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oci-infrastructure": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/oci-mcp/oci_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": { "OCI_CONFIG_FILE": "/Users/<you>/.oci/config" }
    }
  }
}

Open Claude Desktop → Connect to server → select oci-infrastructure.

Required IAM policies (examples)

Grant read-only for discovery (adjust compartment OCIDs and groups):

Allow group MyGroup to read instances in tenancy
Allow group MyGroup to read virtual-network-family in tenancy
Allow group MyGroup to read autonomous-database-family in tenancy
Allow group MyGroup to read objectstorage-namespaces in tenancy
Allow group MyGroup to read buckets in tenancy
Allow group MyGroup to read usage-reports in tenancy

For instance actions:

Allow group MyGroup to manage instance-family in compartment <COMP_OCID>

Tools

• list_compute_instances(compartment_ocid=None, lifecycle_state=None)

• get_instance_details(instance_id)

• instance_action(instance_id, action) — actions: START, STOP, RESET, SOFTRESET, SOFTSTOP

• list_autonomous_databases(compartment_ocid=None)

• list_storage_buckets(compartment_ocid=None)

• list_compartments()

• perform_security_assessment(compartment_ocid=None)

• get_tenancy_cost_summary(start_time_iso, end_time_iso, granularity="DAILY") (experimental; requires Usage API access)

See examples/sample_queries.md for ideas.

Configuration

• Uses ~/.oci/config by default (created via oci setup config).

• Can also read explicit env vars from .env (see .env.example).

• Optional: DEFAULT_COMPARTMENT_OCID to scope queries.

Notes

• Cost summary uses the Usage API if available.

• Networking/security heuristics are conservative (non-invasive read-only calls).

• This repo is a base—extend with OKE, LB, Budgets, Events, etc.
