Configuring Database Connections

The SQLcl MCP Server relies on the preconfigured connections saved in the connection store, which is in your ~/.dbtools directory. You can manage these connections using the connect and connmgr commands.

Note:

• For a connection to be accessible to an MCP client, you must save its password. When you create a new connection, use the -savepwd flag to store credentials securely.

• You can also define and manage connections using the Oracle SQL Developer Extension for VS Code.

For information on creating an MCP-compatible connection, see Connecting to Your Database.
