What is the Oracle Vector DB MCP Server?
Bring your Oracle Database 23ai vector capabilities directly into your AI agent workflow. Run VECTOR_DISTANCE similarity searches, inspect table schemas, execute SQL queries, and manage vector indexes — all through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Vector Similarity Search — Execute native Oracle 23ai VECTOR_DISTANCE queries with cosine or Euclidean metrics against any table with VECTOR columns
- Schema Inspection — List all tables in your schema and describe column types, spotting VECTOR-enabled columns for embedding storage
- SQL Execution — Run arbitrary SQL queries against Oracle via ORDS for ad-hoc analysis and data retrieval
- Vector Index Management — List all HNSW and IVF vector indexes instantiated across your tables
- Table Statistics — Get row counts and optimizer stats for capacity planning and query performance tuning
- Version Check — Verify your Oracle runtime version to confirm 23ai vector feature compatibility
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Oracle ORDS URL, Schema, Username, and Password
- Start querying your vector store from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Enterprise data teams — run vector searches against production Oracle databases without context-switching to SQL Developer
- ML engineers — test embedding queries on Oracle 23ai's native vector engine during RAG pipeline development
- DBAs — inspect vector indexes, table stats, and schema configurations through conversation

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Oracle Vector DB as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 7 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Oracle Vector DB data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Oracle Vector DB tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Oracle Autonomous Database?
Yes. Oracle Autonomous Database on OCI has ORDS enabled by default. Use the ORDS URL from your ADB instance (e.g., https://xxxxx.adb.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloudapps.com/ords), your schema name (typically ADMIN), and the admin credentials. The VECTOR type is available on all 23ai-compatible instances.
Can I run arbitrary SQL — not just vector searches?
Yes. The execute_sql_query tool accepts any valid Oracle SQL statement and returns results through ORDS. Add FETCH FIRST N ROWS ONLY to keep payloads manageable. This makes the agent useful for relational queries too, not just vector operations.
Which distance metrics are available for vector search?
Oracle 23ai supports COSINE and EUCLIDEAN (L2) distance metrics natively via VECTOR_DISTANCE. Specify the metric when running a search — cosine is recommended for most text embedding use cases, while L2 works better for image or audio embeddings.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
