Artificial Intelligence inside Oracle Autonomous Database is no longer experimental — it’s becoming operational.
In this article, we walk through Autonomous AI Database MCP Server ( available in Autonomous database ADW26ai) , a built-in feature designed to bridge the gap between AI models and database resources using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This standardized interface allows developers to connect AI agents and applications to the database without building custom integrations, simplifying how models access data, tools, and state.But enterprise AI requires more than just natural language to SQL.
It requires:
- Governance
- Deterministic business logic
- Observability
- Rate limiting
- Security controls
By leveraging the Oracle Autonomous AI Database, the architecture ensures deterministic logic through predefined semantic tools and strict
database-level guardrails. This system enables users to receive instant business intelligence from natural language queries while maintaining
rigorous audit trails and rate limiting. Ultimately, how to transform
experimental AI into a production-ready platform that provides reliable insights across sales, finance,
and operations.
- Natural language → governed tool execution
- Fully logged and rate-limited SQL access
- Semantic business intelligence tools
- Secure, controlled execution (no unsafe SQL)
In this article, we walk through how Bizinsight Consulting designed and implemented a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server architecture using Oracle Autonomous AI Database (ADW 26ai).
- “Show top 5 customers by revenue.”
- “Which orders are not invoiced?”
- “What percentage of orders are fully fulfilled?”
Instead of dashboards or manual SQL, these questions are answered through an AI-powered assistant — governed, logged, and secure.That’s where MCP comes in.
The 3-Layer Architecture
Our implementation follows a clean
enterprise architecture pattern:
1.
Presentation
Layer
2.
Orchestration
Layer
3.
Execution
Layer
This separation ensures intelligence
without sacrificing control.
What We Built Inside ADW
Instead of letting the LLM freely
generate SQL, we implemented controlled tools:
- TOP_CUSTOMERS_BY_ORDER_COUNT
- TOP_CUSTOMERS_BY_REVENUE
- ORDER_INVOICE_RECON
- SHIPMENT_FULFILLMENT_SUMMARY
- EXECUTE_SQL_SELECT
(guarded)
Each tool:
- Executes deterministic logic
- Returns structured JSON
- Logs execution lifecycle
- Enforces rate limits
- Blocks unsafe operations
Governance & Security Controls
Enterprise AI cannot rely on trust
alone.
✅
SELECT-Only Guardrails
DML/DDL keywords blocked
✅
Rate Limiting
Per-user query limits enforced
inside ADW
START → SUCCESS → ERROR → BLOCKED
lifecycle tracking
✅
Pagination Caps
Prevents large-scale data extraction
This transforms MCP from a demo into
an enterprise-ready platform.
Business Capabilities Delivered
With this architecture,
organizations gain:
Sales
Intelligence
- Top customers by revenue
- Order distribution trends
Finance
Intelligence
- Invoice status summaries
- Revenue concentration analysis
Operations
Intelligence
- Shipment fulfillment %
- Backorder visibility
- Order-to-invoice reconciliation
Why Not Just Use Select AI?
Select AI is powerful for natural language analytics
But MCP provides:- Deterministic KPI definitions
- Controlled business logic
- Tool-level governance
- Production-ready architecture
- Select AI accelerates analytics.
- MCP operationalizes enterprise AI.
Designing AI inside Oracle requires:
- Governance from day one
- Logging as a first-class feature
- Tool-based architecture over free-form SQL
- Clear separation of orchestration and execution
- Production thinking — not experimentation
The Result
- Oracle Autonomous AI Database
- DBMS_CLOUD_AI_AGENT tool framework
- PL/SQL semantic tools
- Enterprise-grade observability
This is not just AI — it’s
operational intelligence.
