MCP Protocol Support for AI Integration in Oracle APEX

oegidio2 Public · Jul 2 2025

Idea Summary
Since Oracle APEX already offers integration with AI services, it would be incredibly valuable to support MCP (Metadata Communication Protocol) features, enabling third-party AI systems to query the database via the MCP protocol. This would enhance interoperability and expand use cases for external AI-driven analytics or assistants.

Use Case
Allowing AI to dynamically explore metadata, query data structures, and interact securely with the APEX-managed database through MCP could significantly streamline development for external platforms or partner ecosystems.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Oracle APEX could implement support for function-level exposure, allowing developers to explicitly define and expose methods for database access. These methods would be securely accessible through an MCP-compliant server connection, ensuring compatibility with third-party AI clients while maintaining strict control over data interaction.

We reviewed this idea carefully and came to the conclusion that it does not constitute an appropriate APEX feature request.

Furthermore , APEX should expose an MCP server , for tools like claude code to be able to make changes to the UI directly via SQL

@cloud this would not be a thing for APEX to expose. It would make sense however for, ORDS/SQLcl

SQLcl 25.2 is out => https://www.oracle.com/database/sqldeveloper/technologies/sqlcl/download/
