The rise of agentic AI is reshaping how developers and enterprises interact with cloud infrastructure. At the center of this transformation is the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging standard that enables AI assistants to securely interact with external systems, APIs, and enterprise services.
Today, we’re excited to highlight a new addition to the Oracle MCP ecosystem. The OCI Recovery MCP Server, designed to bring intelligent automation and AI-driven workflows to Oracle Autonomous Recovery Service.
Why MCP Matters for Cloud Operations
Traditional cloud management relies heavily on dashboards, scripts, and manual workflows. MCP changes this paradigm by enabling:
- Natural language interaction with cloud services
- Standardized tool interfaces for AI agents
- Secure, structured communication between LLMs and enterprise systems
In Oracle’s ecosystem, MCP servers act as bridges between AI agents and OCI services, exposing capabilities as reusable tools.
Introducing the OCI Recovery MCP Server
The OCI Recovery MCP Server (available in the Oracle MCP GitHub repository) extends this model to data protection and recovery workflows.

What it does
This MCP server provides a set of tools that allow AI agents to interact with the OCI Autonomous Recovery Service, enabling:
- Scoped agentic visibility into backup and recovery management
- Recovery policy management
- Monitoring and querying recovery operations
- Integration with broader OCI workflows
At its core, it transforms recovery operations from manual, reactive processes into automated, intelligent workflows.
How to Get Instant Visibility into Data Protection
Use the Recovery MCP Server to quickly understand the protection and health of your databases through simple, conversational queries. Instead of navigating multiple dashboards, you can ask direct questions and get immediate answers about your recovery posture.
For example:
- Which databases in my compartment are currently protected?
- What is the health status of my protected databases?
- Are my databases compliant with the intended backup and recovery policy?
- Which databases are consuming the most recovery storage?
- Are there any databases in warning or unhealthy states?
- Can you summarize overall protected database health across this compartment?
- Generate a dashboard that summarizes the databases within my compartment
With these queries, you can rapidly assess coverage, identify risks, and monitor backup and recovery behavior all through a streamlined, query-driven experience.
Getting Started
To explore the OCI Recovery MCP Server:
- Clone the Oracle MCP repository
- Navigate to the recovery server under src/
- Configure OCI credentials
- Register the server with your MCP-compatible client

Final Thoughts
The launch of the OCI Recovery MCP Server marks a significant step toward AI-driven resilience in the cloud.
By combining:
- Autonomous data protection
- Standardized AI interfaces (MCP)
- Open, extensible tooling
Oracle is paving the way for self-managing, self-healing cloud environments.
If you’re building AI agents for cloud operations or rethinking how your organization handles resilience this is the moment to start exploring the potential benefits this can bring to your enterprise.
