Overview

AWS Cost Explorer MCP is a command-line interface and API designed to help users analyze and visualize their AWS cloud spending data through Anthropic's Model Control Protocol (MCP).

To use the AWS Cost Explorer MCP, you need to install the required dependencies, set up your AWS credentials, and run the server. You can then interact with the server using natural language queries through the Claude interface.

EC2 Spend Analysis: Detailed breakdown of EC2 spending for the last day. - Service Spend Reports: Analyze spending across all AWS services for the last 30 days. - Detailed Cost Breakdown: Granular cost data by day, region, service, and instance type. - Interactive Interface: Query cost data using natural language through Claude.

Analyzing daily EC2 spending.
Generating reports on AWS service costs over the past month.
Understanding spending patterns by region and service type.
Identifying the most expensive instance types.
