Oracle Corp. today unveiled MCP Server for Oracle Database, a new Model Context Protocol offering that brings artificial intelligence-powered interaction directly into its core database platform to help developers and analysts query and manage data using natural language.

The new MCP server enables large language models to securely connect to Oracle Database and interact with it contextually while respecting user permissions and roles.

MCP Server for Oracle Database allows users to interact with Oracle’s core database platform using natural language, with the server translating questions into SQL queries, helping users retrieve insights from data without needing to write complex code, making tasks such as performance diagnostics, schema summarization and query generation easier.

The integration has been designed to simplify the process of working with SQL queries and navigating complex data schemas. MCP Server for Oracle Database AI agents can act as copilots for developers and analysts by generating code and analyzing performance.

The protocol also supports read and write operations, allowing users to take action through the AI assistant, such as creating indexes, checking performance plans, or optimizing workloads.

Oracle has also made sure that security and access control are covered. The AI agent operates strictly within the access boundaries of the authenticated user to make sure that existing policies and authorizations are enforced. It does so by using a private, dedicated schema to isolate the agent’s interactions from production data, allowing it to generate summaries or sample datasets for language models without exposing full records.

The implementation additionally offers prebuilt skills, such as summarizing schemas or auto-generating SQL queries, but at the same time, allows developers to define their own custom skills to tailor interactions based on their application or business context.

With the release, Oracle is simplifying the way organizations access, manage and reason about enterprise data using AI. The company says it will continue to build out support for additional services within the MCP ecosystem, suggesting that it may be planning broader integration across its portfolio in the near future.
