Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oracle": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-oracle"],
      "env": {
        "ORACLE_DSN": "host:1521/service_name",

DSN Format

Format	Example	Use when
host:port/service_name	db.example.com:1521/ORCL	Most modern Oracle databases
host:port:SID	db.example.com:1521:ORCL	Legacy SID-based connections

service_name vs SID: Modern Oracle databases use service names (check with your DBA). Use the / separator for service names and the : separator for SIDs.

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
ORACLE_DSN	Yes	—	Database connection string
ORACLE_USER	Yes	—	Database username
ORACLE_PASSWORD	Yes	—	Database password

Available Tools

• list_tables — List tables and views accessible to the connected user. Pass schema to list objects from another schema.
• describe_table — Return columns, data types, nullability, and primary keys for a table. Pass schema for cross-schema lookups.
• run_query — Execute a SELECT statement and return results as JSON. Supports bind parameters via the params argument.

Table Name Case Sensitivity

Oracle stores identifiers in uppercase by default. describe_table("employees") and describe_table("EMPLOYEES") are equivalent — the server normalizes to uppercase automatically.
