oracle.oci-network-monitoring-mcp-server
An MCP server that exposes Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Network Monitoring service APIs, enabling AI agents to perform network path analysis, test connectivity between OCI resources, analyze VCN flow logs, and troubleshoot network reachability issues within OCI virtual cloud networks.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Network topology data exposed via this API is sensitive — knowing reachability paths could assist attackers. Agents should have read-only access by default. All API calls use TLS with OCI signature-based auth.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You need to programmatically test and troubleshoot OCI network connectivity, analyze flow logs for security incidents, or integrate network reachability checks into DevOps automation pipelines.
Avoid When
You need multi-cloud network visibility, application-layer monitoring, or are not using OCI virtual cloud networks.
Use Cases
- • Automating network connectivity tests between compute instances and services
- • Analyzing VCN flow logs to detect anomalous traffic patterns
- • Programmatically diagnosing network path failures between OCI resources
- • Integrating network health checks into incident response automation
- • Auditing network reachability for security compliance validation
Not For
- • Non-OCI network monitoring (on-premises, AWS, Azure networks)
- • Application performance monitoring or APM tracing
- • Real-time packet capture or deep packet inspection
- • DNS monitoring or CDN performance analysis
Interface
Authentication
Requires OCI IAM policies granting network-monitoring permissions. Flow log access requires separate VCN logging configuration.
Pricing
Path analysis tests are relatively inexpensive; bulk flow log analysis costs scale with log volume
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Path analysis tests are asynchronous - agents must poll for completion
- ⚠ VCN flow logs must be enabled separately before log analysis is possible
- ⚠ Compartment OCID required for all operations
- ⚠ Results distinguish between 'unreachable' and 'unknown' which have different remediation paths
- ⚠ Security list and NSG rules are evaluated separately in path analysis results
