Feeds Oracle Cloud Infrastructure prices to your assistant, estimates monthly spend for a config and compares it against AWS, Azure and GCP.

## What it does

The server hands an AI assistant OCI rates pulled from Oracle's public pricing API plus a bundled dataset. Ask what a VM with 4 OCPUs and 32GB of RAM costs and you get an hourly figure, a monthly one, and the Arm-based A1 shape next to it for contrast. Dedicated tools cover storage, databases, networking and Kubernetes — `compare_data_egress` lines OCI egress up against AWS, Azure and GCP, while `compare_kubernetes_providers` does the same for OKE versus EKS, AKS and GKE.

Over twenty tools sit inside, grouped by compute, storage, database, networking, Kubernetes, service categories and utilities such as `get_free_tier` for the Always Free list. Some of the older per-category tools are marked deprecated in favour of `list_services_by_category`, where you pass the category as one argument. There is a live mode too: `fetch_realtime_pricing` pulls the full catalog straight from Oracle's API.

The author is blunt about the limits: no guarantee the assistant reads prices correctly or spots the cheapest option. Check Oracle's official price list before you commit to anything. No authentication is involved and the calls cost nothing. It runs through `npx`, so Node.js has to be present.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add oci-pricing-mcp -- npx -y oci-pricing-mcp
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add oci-pricing -- npx -y oci-pricing-mcp
```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "oci-pricing": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "oci-pricing-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "oci-pricing": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "oci-pricing-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add oci-pricing npx -y oci-pricing-mcp
```

## When to use it
- estimate the monthly bill for a VM with a given OCPU count and memory size
- compare block, object and file storage pricing at the same capacity
- work out egress charges and what the free transfer allowance covers
- size a Kubernetes cluster and weigh OKE against EKS, AKS and GKE
- budget a small web app or API server before provisioning anything

## Example prompts
- What's the monthly cost of a VM.Standard.E5.Flex with 4 OCPUs and 32GB RAM?
- Estimate monthly cost for a Kubernetes cluster with 3 nodes
