What is the OCI Pricing MCP server?

Most file and storage access work still happens through a UI a human drives. OCI Pricing MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure pricing data with cost calculators and comparisons.

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Oracle Cloud Infrastructure pricing data to AI assistants like Claude.

Getting it running

oci-pricing-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:

  • Authentication — None required (public API)
  • Multi-currency — USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, and more
  • Updates — Oracle updates pricing data periodically
  • get_pricing — Get pricing for any OCI resource by service/type
  • list_services — List all OCI services with pricing categories
  • compare_regions — Compare pricing across regions (OCI has consistent global pricing)
  • list_regions — List all available OCI regions
  • calculate_monthly_cost — Estimate monthly spend for a configuration
  • quick_estimate — Get cost estimates for common deployment presets
  • list_compute_shapes — List VM shapes (E4, E5, A1, GPU, etc.) with pricing
  • get_compute_shape_details — Get detailed info for a specific shape
  • compare_compute_shapes — Compare pricing between shapes

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch OCI Pricing.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of file and storage access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. OCI Pricing's toolset — Authentication, Multi-currency, Updates and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jasonwilbur; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Frequently asked questions

It connects OCI Pricing to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (Authentication, Multi-currency, Updates, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with OCI Pricing directly.
