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

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 does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
