-# MCP Registry
+# OCI Pricing MCP Server
 
-The MCP registry provides MCP clients with a list of MCP servers, like an app store for MCP servers.
+A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that provides Oracle Cloud Infrastructure pricing data to AI assistants like Claude.
 
-[**📤 Publish my MCP server**](docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx) | [**⚡️ Live API docs**](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/docs) | [**👀 Ecosystem vision**](docs/design/ecosystem-vision.md) | 📖 **[Full documentation](./docs)**
+> **Important Note:** This server provides pricing data from Oracle's public pricing API and bundled data. We cannot guarantee that AI assistants will always interpret pricing correctly or identify the absolute cheapest options. Always verify pricing on [Oracle's official price list](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/price-list/) before making decisions. All API calls are free of charge (no authentication required).
 
-## Development Status
+## Why This Exists
 
-**2025-10-24 update**: The Registry API has entered an **API freeze (v0.1)** 🎉. For the next month or more, the API will remain stable with no breaking changes, allowing integrators to confidently implement support. This freeze applies to v0.1 while development continues on v0. We'll use this period to validate the API in real-world integrations and gather feedback to shape v1 for general availability. Thank you to everyone for your contributions and patience—your involvement has been key to getting us here!
+AWS, Azure, and GCP all have pricing MCP servers. OCI did not - until now.
 
-**2025-09-08 update**: The registry has launched in preview 🎉 ([announcement blog post](https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2025-09-08-mcp-registry-preview/)). While the system is now more stable, this is still a preview release and breaking changes or data resets may occur. A general availability (GA) release will follow later. We'd love your feedback in [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/discussions/new?category=ideas) or in the [#registry-dev Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1358869848138059966/1369487942862504016) ([joining details here](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/community/communication)).

+### Example: "How much does a 4 OCPU, 32GB VM cost on OCI?"
 
-## Contributing
+**You ask Claude:**
+> What's the monthly cost for a VM with 4 OCPUs and 32GB RAM on OCI?
 
-We use multiple channels for collaboration - see [modelcontextprotocol.io/community/communication](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/community/communication).
+**Claude responds (using this MCP):**
+```
+For a VM.Standard.E5.Flex with 4 OCPUs and 32GB RAM:
 
-Often (but not always) ideas flow through this pipeline:
+  OCPU cost:    4 OCPUs × $0.03/hr = $0.12/hr
+  Memory cost:  32 GB × $0.002/hr  = $0.064/hr
+  Total hourly: $0.184/hr

+  Monthly cost (730 hrs): $134.32
 
-### Quick start:
+For comparison, the Arm-based A1 shape would be significantly cheaper:
 
-#### Pre-requisites
+  A1 total:     4 × $0.01 + 32 × $0.0015 = $0.088/hr
+  Monthly:      $64.24 (52% savings)

+### Example: "Compare OCI vs AWS for data egress"
 
-#### Running the server
+**You ask Claude:**
+> How much would I save on OCI vs AWS for 5TB of monthly data egress?
 
-```bash
-# Start full development environment
-make dev-compose
+**Claude responds (using this MCP):**
 ```
+Data Egress Cost Comparison (5 TB/month):
 
-This starts the registry at [`localhost:8080`](http://localhost:8080) with PostgreSQL. The database uses ephemeral storage and is reset each time you restart the containers, ensuring a clean state for development and testing.
+  OCI:
+    First 10 TB free → $0.00
 
-**Note:** The registry uses [ko](https://ko.build) to build container images. The `make dev-compose` command automatically builds the registry image with ko and loads it into your local Docker daemon before starting the services.
+  AWS:
+    First 10 GB: free
+    Next 9.99 TB @ $0.09/GB → ~$450/month
 
-By default, the registry seeds from the production API with a filtered subset of servers (to keep startup fast). This ensures your local environment mirrors production behavior and all seed data passes validation. For offline development you can seed from a file without validation with `MCP_REGISTRY_SEED_FROM=data/seed.json MCP_REGISTRY_ENABLE_REGISTRY_VALIDATION=false make dev-compose`.
+  Monthly savings with OCI: $450 (100% savings)
 
-The setup can be configured with environment variables in [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml) - see [.env.example](./.env.example) for a reference.
+OCI includes 10 TB of free outbound data transfer monthly,
+making it significantly more cost-effective for data-heavy workloads.

 ```
+Give me a quick estimate for a small web app on OCI
+```
+
+Available presets:
+- `small-web-app` - 1 OCPU, 8GB, 100GB storage, LB
+- `medium-api-server` - 4 OCPU, 32GB, 500GB storage
+- `large-database` - 8 OCPU, 128GB, Autonomous DB
+- `ml-training` - 8x A100 GPUs (part-time)
+- `kubernetes-cluster` - 3 nodes, 4 OCPU each
+
+## OCI Pricing Highlights
+
+### Key Differentiators
 
-There are also a few more helpful commands for development. Run `make help` to learn more, or look in [Makefile](./Makefile).
+- **Consistent Global Pricing**: Unlike AWS/Azure/GCP, OCI prices are the same across all commercial regions
+- **10 TB Free Egress**: First 10 TB of outbound data transfer is free monthly
+- **Free Kubernetes Control Plane**: OKE Basic clusters have no management fee
+- **Network Load Balancer**: Completely free (no hourly or data charges)
+- **Always Free Tier**: Never expires - 4 Arm OCPUs, 24GB RAM, 200GB storage, 2 Autonomous DBs
 
-<!--
-For Claude and other AI tools: Always prefer make targets over custom commands where possible.

+### Cost-Effective Shapes
 
-## Architecture
+| Shape | OCPU Price | Best For |
+|-------|------------|----------|
+| VM.Standard.A1.Flex (Arm) | $0.01/hr | Best value, Arm workloads |
+| VM.Standard.E5.Flex | $0.03/hr | New x86 deployments |
+| VM.Standard.E4.Flex | $0.025/hr | Previous gen, still good |
 
-### Project Structure
+### OCPU vs vCPU
+
+1 OCPU = 2 vCPUs for x86 architectures. OCPUs represent physical cores, so OCI's $0.03/OCPU/hr is equivalent to $0.015/vCPU/hr.
+
+## Data Sources
+
+This MCP server supports two data modes:
+
+### Bundled Data (Default)
+
+Pricing data is synced from Oracle's public pricing API and bundled with the server. This provides fast, offline access to the complete OCI pricing catalog.
+
+- **Products**: 602 SKUs (full API dataset)
+- **Categories**: 109 service categories
+- **Detailed compute shapes**: 15 curated shapes with OCPU/memory breakdowns
+- **Timestamps**: `apiLastUpdated` and `bundledDataGenerated` for verification
+
+### Real-Time API
+
+For the most current pricing between releases, use `fetch_realtime_pricing` which queries Oracle's API directly:

-### Authentication
+- **Authentication**: None required (public API)
+- **Multi-currency**: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, and more
+- **Updates**: Oracle updates pricing data periodically
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Does OCI have a pricing API?
+
+Yes! Oracle provides a public pricing API at `https://apexapps.oracle.com/pls/apex/cetools/api/v1/products/` that returns all OCI product pricing in JSON format. No authentication is required. This MCP server uses this API for the `fetch_realtime_pricing` tool.
+
+### Where does the pricing data come from?
+
+- **Bundled data**: Full dataset synced from Oracle's public pricing API and included in the npm package
+- **Real-time data**: Fetched directly from Oracle's public pricing API on-demand
+
+### How often is the bundled data updated?
+
+The bundled pricing data is synced from Oracle's API with each npm release. Check `metadata.bundledDataGenerated` for the sync date. Use `fetch_realtime_pricing` between releases to check for updates.
+
+### Why are prices the same across all regions?
+
+Unlike AWS, Azure, and GCP, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure maintains **consistent global pricing** across all commercial regions. This simplifies cost planning and means you can deploy anywhere without price variations.
+
+### What's the difference between OCPU and vCPU?
 
-Publishing supports multiple authentication methods:
-- **GitHub OAuth** - For publishing by logging into GitHub
-- **GitHub OIDC** - For publishing from GitHub Actions
-- **DNS verification** - For proving ownership of a domain and its subdomains
-- **HTTP verification** - For proving ownership of a domain
+1 OCPU = 2 vCPUs for x86 architectures. OCPUs represent physical cores with hyper-threading, so OCI's $0.03/OCPU/hr is equivalent to $0.015/vCPU/hr when comparing to AWS/Azure/GCP.
 
-The registry validates namespace ownership when publishing. E.g. to publish...:
-- `io.github.domdomegg/my-cool-mcp` you must login to GitHub as `domdomegg`, or be in a GitHub Action on domdomegg's repos
-- `me.adamjones/my-cool-mcp` you must prove ownership of `adamjones.me` via DNS or HTTP challenge
+### Can I query my actual OCI spend?
 
-## Community Projects
+This MCP server provides pricing data, not account spend. For actual usage and spend tracking, you would need to use the OCI Cost Management APIs with proper authentication. This could be added as a future enhancement.
 
-Check out [community projects](docs/community-projects.md) to explore notable registry-related work created by the community.
+### What's NOT included in the pricing data?
 
-## More documentation
+The bundled data includes all 602 products from Oracle's public pricing API. However, some pricing is not available through this API:
+
+- **Committed use discounts** - Only Pay-As-You-Go pricing is shown; annual/3-year commits require Oracle sales
+- **Government/sovereign cloud** - Dedicated government regions have separate pricing
+- **Oracle SaaS products** - Fusion Apps, NetSuite, etc. are separate from OCI IaaS
+- **Custom/negotiated pricing** - Enterprise agreements with volume discounts
+- **Support costs** - Premier Support pricing is separate
+
+For these, contact [Oracle Sales](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/contact/) or check the [Oracle Cloud Price List](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/price-list/) directly.
+
+### How do I verify the pricing is accurate?
+
+Each bundled data release includes timestamps:
+- `apiLastUpdated`: When Oracle last updated their pricing API
+- `bundledDataGenerated`: When this package synced the data
+
+You can verify prices against [Oracle's official price list](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/price-list/) or use the `fetch_realtime_pricing` tool to get live data.
