- 2026-05-19: change search engine to oracle help center search
- 2025-04-21: Initial release
Features
oci_search_documentation
Searches OCI documentation through the Oracle Help Center Search API and returnsstructured page results. This tool is intended for the first step of a documentationworkflow: finding the most relevant Oracle documentation URL before reading the page.
Parameters:
search_phrase: Search text. Use specific OCI service names, product terms, errormessages, or feature names for better results.limit: Maximum number of results to return. Defaults to3.page: Search result page number. Defaults to1.
Returns:
- Pagination metadata from the Oracle Help Center result set.
- A list of documentation results with title, URL, and description.
Design notes:
- Uses the public Oracle Help Center pages endpoint.
oci_read_documentation
Reads one OCI documentation page, converts it from HTML to Markdown, indexes it byline number, and returns a window of content. This tool is intended for controlledreading of long documentation pages without flooding the MCP response.
Parameters:
url: OCI documentation page URL. The URL must be fromdocs.oracle.comand mustend with.htmor.html.start_index: 0-based line number to start reading from. Defaults to0.max_lines: Maximum number of Markdown lines to return. Defaults to10.
Returns:
stats: Total lines, total words, start line, returned lines, remaining lines, andremaining words.content: Markdown text for the requested line window.table_of_contents: Returned only whenstart_index == 0; includes heading level,title, and 0-based line number.
Design notes:
- Long documents are paged by Markdown line number rather than character offset, whichmakes follow-up reads easier for agents.
- Converted pages are cached in process memory for 24 hours, up to 128 pages. The cachestores a single line-list representation to avoid duplicating full Markdown text andsplit lines.
- Table of contents and related links are returned only for the first read to avoidrepeating metadata during follow-up reads.
