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 Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Oracle Vector DB into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Oracle Vector DB and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 7 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
