io.github.dockndevai/mcp-oci
Oracle Cloud discovery + Terraform generation for AI agents — read-only, secret-safe.
What can you do with io.github.dockndevai/mcp-oci?
- Live discovery — compartments, regions, and any resource via OCI Resource Search.
- Terraform generation — faithful HCL for known types (VCN, subnet, instance, bucket, compartment) and annotated skeletons for the rest; whole-compartment modules with provider variables.
- Dependency graph — nodes/edges plus a suggested provisioning order (dependencies first).
- Secrets never reach the model — every payload is redacted before return.
- Security flags — access modes, compartment/region allowlists, provisioning gate, dry-run, and JSON audit logging (see below).
- Standard auth — OCI config file (
~/.oci/config) or instance principals. No credentials stored by the server.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

mcp-oci
A Model Context Protocol server for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It gives an MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, …) the ability to discover live OCI resources, map how they relate, and generate reproducible Terraform — with behaviour controlled entirely by flags.
Think of it as a Playwright-MCP for your cloud: instead of rebuilding infrastructure knowledge by hand, the model can ask "show all VCNs in the prod compartment" and "generate Terraform for this compartment" and get structured, secret-free answers.
Features
- Live discovery — compartments, regions, and any resource via OCI Resource Search.
- Terraform generation — faithful HCL for known types (VCN, subnet, instance, bucket, compartment) and annotated skeletons for the rest; whole-compartment modules with provider variables.
- Dependency graph — nodes/edges plus a suggested provisioning order (dependencies first).
- Secrets never reach the model — every payload is redacted before return.
- Security flags — access modes, compartment/region allowlists, provisioning gate, dry-run, and JSON audit logging (see below).
- Standard auth — OCI config file (
~/.oci/config) or instance principals. No credentials stored by the server.
Security model
| Concern | Flag | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| What can the server do? | OCI_MODE | read-only | All shipped tools are read-only. read-write/admin are reserved for future provisioning and currently expose no extra tools. |
| Which compartments are in scope? | OCI_COMPARTMENT_ALLOWLIST | (all) | When set, operations on other compartments are refused. |
| Which regions are reachable? | OCI_REGION_ALLOWLIST | (configured region) | When set, only these regions may be targeted. |
Can it run terraform apply? | OCI_ALLOW_APPLY | false | Reserved gate for provisioning (not yet shipped). |
| Preview without executing | OCI_DRY_RUN | false | For future write tools: validate + log intent without executing. |
| Audit trail | OCI_AUDIT_LOG | true | Emits a JSON line to stderr per guarded operation. |
| Secret redaction | (always on) | — | Secret-shaped fields are replaced with ***REDACTED*** before any result is returned. |
Tools
Discovery (read): list_compartments, list_regions, search_resources, list_compartment_resources, get_resource
Terraform (read): generate_terraform, generate_compartment_terraform, build_dependency_graph
Quickstart — add to your agent
Published on npm as @dockndevai/mcp-oci. No clone or build needed — your MCP client runs it on demand with npx. Start in read-only mode; see .env.example for every variable and docs/CLIENTS.md for the full per-client guide.
Claude Code (CLI)
claude mcp add oci -e OCI_PROFILE="DEFAULT" -e OCI_MODE="read-only" -- npx -y @dockndevai/mcp-oci
Claude Desktop · Cursor · Windsurf — same block in claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, or ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"oci": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@dockndevai/mcp-oci"
],
"env": {
"OCI_PROFILE": "DEFAULT",
"OCI_MODE": "read-only"
}
}
}
}
OpenAI Codex CLI — in ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.oci]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@dockndevai/mcp-oci"]
env = { OCI_PROFILE = "DEFAULT", OCI_MODE = "read-only" }
VS Code (GitHub Copilot, Agent mode) — in .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"oci": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@dockndevai/mcp-oci"
],
"env": {
"OCI_PROFILE": "DEFAULT",
"OCI_MODE": "read-only"
}
}
}
}
Configure
Point it at a standard OCI config profile. For safety, use an IAM user/policy with
read-only (inspect/read) permissions on the compartments you want the agent to see.
Example prompts
- "List all compartments, then show every resource in the
prodcompartment." - "Generate Terraform for VCN
ocid1.vcn.oc1..…." - "Build a dependency graph for compartment
…and tell me the provisioning order."
Run from source (development)
Prefer the published package above. To run from a clone:
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js # with the environment variables set
Develop
npm run dev # watch mode
npm test # security policy + terraform generation + graph + redaction
npm run typecheck
Roadmap
terraform plan/applyexecution behindread-write/admin+OCI_ALLOW_APPLY.- More resource-type mappers (load balancers, databases, DRGs, IAM policies).
- Cross-environment drift comparison.
Publishing
This server ships a server.json for the official MCP registry and an mcpName for npm ownership validation. See PUBLISHING.md for publishing to npm and listing on the MCP registry, Smithery, Glama, Cursor, and PulseMCP.
