# SQLDev Copilot Integration VSCode & SQLcl MCP Support

Model Context Protocol is an open protocol which standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs.

Launched in November 2024 by Anthropic, it can be considered as a "USB-C" port for AI applications and, like a USB-C, provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. To accomplish this, It provides a singular interface to have standard interactions with database, files, business applications, developer tools and more.

MCP has three primary constructs:
- Resources: provide data that an MCP server wants to make available to clients like documents, Database records, API responses, screenshots and images and more;

- Tools: essentially function calls (with input/output arguments) in the MCP which enable servers to expose executable functionality to clients. Through tools, LLMs can interact with external systems, perform computations and take actions in a real world context.

- Prompts: define reusable prompt templates than can be surfaced by clients to LLMs provide a powerful way to standardize and share common LLM interactions.

Oracle SQLcl version 25.2 extends Oracle SQLcl to support MCP-based communication. It enables you to perform operations, create reports, and run queries on Oracle Database using natural language through AI-powered interactions.

SQLcl MCP Mode:
- Works with all supported Oracle Database releases (19c, 21c, 23ai) on-prem and in the Cloud (OCI, Azure, AWS, GCP).
- Comes with an offer of Server Tools (SQLcl MCP Server Tools):
- list-connections: discovers all saved Oracle DB connections
- connect: establishes a connection to DB
- disconnect: terminates the current DB connection
- run-sql: runs standard SQL queries/DDLs/DMLs and PL/SQL code against DB
- run-sqlcl: runs specific SQLcl commands

The SQL Developer Extension for VS Code 25.2 offers Oracle SQLcl MCP Server Integration. The extension when install auto-registers our MCP Server for Copilot, making your SQL Developer database connections available for agentic chat requests, including running SQL and PL/SQL against your database.
