Features

oci_search_documentation

Searches OCI documentation through the Oracle Help Center Search API and returns structured page results. This tool is intended for the first step of a documentation workflow: finding the most relevant Oracle documentation URL before reading the page.

Parameters:

  • search_phrase: Search text. Use specific OCI service names, product terms, error messages, or feature names for better results.

  • limit: Maximum number of results to return. Defaults to 3.

  • page: Search result page number. Defaults to 1.

Returns:

  • Pagination metadata from the Oracle Help Center result set.

  • A list of documentation results with title, URL, and description.

Design notes:

  • Uses the public Oracle Help Center pages endpoint.

oci_read_documentation

Reads one OCI documentation page, converts it from HTML to Markdown, indexes it by line number, and returns a window of content. This tool is intended for controlled reading of long documentation pages without flooding the MCP response.

Parameters:

  • url: OCI documentation page URL. The URL must be from docs.oracle.com and must end with .htm or .html.

  • start_index: 0-based line number to start reading from. Defaults to 0.

  • max_lines: Maximum number of Markdown lines to return. Defaults to 10.

Returns:

  • stats: Total lines, total words, start line, returned lines, remaining lines, and remaining words.

  • content: Markdown text for the requested line window.

  • table_of_contents: Returned only when start_index == 0; includes heading level, title, and 0-based line number.

Design notes:

  • Long documents are paged by Markdown line number rather than character offset, which makes follow-up reads easier for agents.

  • Converted pages are cached in process memory for 24 hours, up to 128 pages. The cache stores a single line-list representation to avoid duplicating full Markdown text and split lines.

  • Table of contents and related links are returned only for the first read to avoid repeating metadata during follow-up reads.

Use

Option 1: Run from pypi package

Defalt output through stdio, change that use --transport if you want.

      ],
      "env": {
        "FASTMCP_LOG_LEVEL": "ERROR"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option 2: Run locally from source code and output through stdio

  }
}

Option 3: Run as server

Run as server use Streamable HTTP:

uv run python -m oci_documentation_mcp_server.server --transport "streamable-http" --port 8000 --path "/mcp"

Config on agent tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
      "oci-documentation-mcp-server": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

2 tools
oci_read_documentationA

Fetch an OCI documentation page url and return content partially as markdown.

Handling Long Documents

If the response indicates the document was truncated, you have several options:

  1. Continue Reading: Make another call with start_index set to retrieve the next portion of the document.

  2. Stop Early: If you've already found the specific information needed, you can stop reading

Inputs: url (required), max_lines, start_index. Returns: result

oci_search_documentationA

Search OCI documentation based on a search phrase.

Usage

This tool searches OCI documentation pages matching your search phrase. Use it to find relevant documentation urls about OCI Productswhen you don't have a specific URL.

Search Tips

  • Use specific product name/technical terms rather than general phrases

  • Include service names to narrow results (e.g., "OCI Object Storage bucket versioning" instead of just "versioning")

  • Use quotes for exact phrase matching (e.g., "Using Instance Configurations and Instance Pools")

Inputs: search_phrase (required), page, limit. Returns: result

    TDQS

    A4.1/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one reads a specific documentation page, the other searches for relevant pages. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tools follow a consistent pattern: 'oci_' prefix + verb + '_documentation'. The naming is predictable and clear.

    Tool Count3/5

    With only 2 tools, the server feels minimal. While read and search cover essential documentation operations, a small tool count like this is borderline and could benefit from additional tools (e.g., list categories or browse).

    Completeness3/5

    The tools cover the core workflow of searching and reading documentation. However, there is no tool for browsing documentation structure or listing available sections, which might be needed for efficient navigation.
