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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OceanBase tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
