list_oci_profiles

Instructions

List all available OCI profiles from ~/.oci/config file.

Returns a list of profiles with their configuration details.
Use this when you need to select a profile before making OCI API calls.

Implementation Reference

• mcp_server_oci/mcp_server.py:301-330 (handler)

  The MCP tool handler for 'list_oci_profiles', including registration decorator. Calls list_available_profiles helper and provides user feedback via ctx.info/error.

• mcp_server_oci/profile_manager.py:30-79 (helper)

  Core helper function that implements the logic to parse ~/.oci/config file using configparser and extract profile details (name, user OCID, tenancy OCID, region, key fingerprint).
