About OceanBase MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire database infrastructure with OceanBase, the premier enterprise distributed relational database. By connecting OceanBase to your agent, you transform complex cluster management, tenant resource allocation, and database auditing into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your database clusters, retrieve detailed configuration for tenants, monitor resource usage statistics, and browse available databases without you ever needing to navigate the OceanBase Cloud console. Whether you are conducting a capacity planning review or auditing database health across a global deployment, your agent acts as a real-time database reliability assistant, keeping your data infrastructure accurate and your systems performant.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use OceanBase tools. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Cluster Orchestration — List all database clusters and retrieve detailed configuration and status information.
- Tenant Management — Browse logical tenants within clusters and retrieve detailed resource allocation metadata.
- Database Auditing — List all databases within specific tenants to identify data assets and structures.
- Resource Monitoring — Retrieve aggregate resource usage statistics to audit system performance and capacity.
- Organization Insights — Browse projects, instances, and workspaces to maintain a unified view of your database ecosystem.
The OceanBase MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the OceanBase MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with OceanBase through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use OceanBase tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign OceanBase tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive OceanBase tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes OceanBase tool responses in an isolated environment
OceanBase + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the OceanBase MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries OceanBase while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from OceanBase, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using OceanBase data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process OceanBase responses in a sandboxed execution environment
