OCI DB Management — Start the MCP Server

What it does

Starts the OCI Database Management MCP server as a local process. Once running, Claude has access to all 24 DBM tools in this session:

• Fleet inventory and health
• AWR performance reports and wait event analysis
• DB load (CPU vs I/O), physical reads, commit rate
• Alert log triage
• Parameter change detection
• Cursor cache inspection
• SQL Tuning Advisor (start task, get findings, read recommendations)
• DB Management Jobs (create, monitor, history)
• Identity / compartment access

Prerequisites

• oci-setup must have completed successfully (valid OCI credentials)
• Python 3.9+ and uv installed, or the package installed directly via pip

Starting the server

Option A — via uvx (recommended, no install needed)

uvx oci-db-management-mcp-server

Option B — installed package

pip install oci-db-management-mcp-server
oci-db-management-mcp-server

Option C — from source (development)

cd /path/to/oci-db-management-mcp-server
uv run python -m oci_db_management

The server starts on STDIO transport by default (required for Claude Code MCP integration).

Wiring into Claude

After the server process is running, register it in Claude's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oci-db-management": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["oci-db-management-mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Config file location:

• Mac/Linux: ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

After adding, restart Claude Desktop or reload the MCP connection.

Confirming the server is running

Once connected, the following tools should be available:

list_managed_databases          get_fleet_summary
get_db_load                     get_top_wait_events
get_awr_report                  list_alert_logs
get_parameter_changes           get_cursor_cache
start_sql_tuning_task           list_sql_tuning_advisor_tasks
list_sql_tuning_findings        list_sql_tuning_recommendations
get_sql_execution_plan          create_sql_job
get_sql_job                     list_sql_jobs
list_job_executions             get_job_execution
list_job_execution_summaries    list_db_management_private_endpoints
get_managed_database            list_compartments
enable_database_management      get_work_request

24 tools total.

Confirm by calling a low-risk tool:

list_managed_databases(compartment_id=<your_compartment_ocid>)

What comes next

With the server running, offer the user the appropriate next step:

• No ADB yet / want to onboard → oci-dbm-commission
• Want to diagnose an existing DB → oci-dbm-diagnose
• Want fleet health overview → oci-dbm-performance
• Want to run SQL → oci-dbm-jobs
• Want SQL tuning → oci-dbm-sql-tuning
