AI agents become useful as soon as they can work with real systems. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard for that. In this workshop we connect agents to the Oracle Database in a way that keeps security, traceability and privileges inside the database.
Audience
Developers and architects who want to connect agents to Oracle systems in production.
Modules
The modules are building blocks. You choose and weight them, and we agree on the agenda together beforehand.
- MCP fundamentals: tools, resources, prompts, transports (stdio, HTTP), clients such as Claude, Copilot and Cline
- SQLcl as MCP server: setup, connections, limits for everyday development
- MCP over ORDS: defining business tools as REST endpoints and exposing them as MCP tools
- Tool design: scope, descriptions and parameters a model can use reliably
- Security: OAuth2, least privilege, separating read and write tools, approvals, prompt injection
- Operations: logging, auditing, versioning and testing of MCP tools
- Hands-on: an MCP server for a sample or customer schema, connected to an agent
Outcome
A working MCP server based on ORDS and a set of rules for which tools an agent gets in your environment.
