### Description (declared)

# OCI Cloud MCP Server

## Overview

This server is a thin wrapper over the official OCI Python SDK (no OCI CLI subprocess calls). Think in SDK terms: `client class -> method -> kwargs`.
Discovery is SDK-first, with thin keyword/resource-action fallback search when you genuinely cannot infer the client or method.

It exposes generic tools that let you:
- List OCI SDK clients available in the current environment
- Search for the right OCI client operation by short keyword/resource-action search
- Inspect the exact contract of an SDK method before calling it
- Invoke any OCI SDK client operation by fully-qualified client class and method name
- Discover available operations for a given OCI client

Recommended low-token workflow:
1. If you already know the SDK client class and method, call `describe_oci_operation` or `invoke_oci_api` directly.
2. If the service family is already obvious, call `list_client_operations` on that client class first.
3. Otherwise, call `find_oci_api` only as a thin escape-hatch fallback with a short SDK-oriented resource/action query like `"list regions"` or `"create vcn"` rather than a full sentence. Keep `limit` small (`3-5`) on the first discovery call.
4. Call `describe_oci_operation` for the chosen `client_fqn` + `operation` when you need parameter details.
5. Call `invoke_oci_api`. Its default `result_mode="auto"` keeps list, summarize, and paginated results compact. Use `result_mode="full"` only when you need the full payload, and prefer `fields` when you only need a few exact top-level values.
6. Call `list_oci_clients` only for capability discovery/debugging, or when search is ambiguous.
