This session was presented at BLUEPRINT 4D 2026.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we interact with data, but enterprise databases have remained largely disconnected from this revolution—until now. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) represents a paradigm shift, enabling AI assistants to directly query, analyze, and interpret databases through natural language while maintaining enterprise-grade security. Oracle has embraced this by embedding an MCP Server directly into SQLcl, transforming the command line into a highly-auditable, AI-ready endpoint for your database. This session provides a practical, real-world guide on using the SQLcl MCP Server to let developers and DBAs execute complex tasks—from generating natural language reports to deep performance tuning with AWR—using simple chat prompts.
