A sample MCP server for understanding cloud spend

An MCP server for getting AWS spend data via Cost Explorer and Amazon Bedrock usage data via Model invocation logs in Amazon Cloud Watch through Anthropic's MCP (Model Control Protocol). See section on "secure" remote MCP server to see how you can run your MCP server over HTTPS.

    end

You can run the MCP server locally and access it via the Claude Desktop or you could also run a Remote MCP server on Amazon EC2 and access it via a MCP client built into a LangGraph Agent.

Overview

This tool provides a convenient way to analyze and visualize AWS cloud spending data using Anthropic's Claude model as an interactive interface. It functions as an MCP server that exposes AWS Cost Explorer API functionality to Claude Desktop, allowing you to ask questions about your AWS spend in natural language.

Features

Amazon EC2 Spend Analysis: View detailed breakdowns of EC2 spending for the last day
Amazon Bedrock Spend Analysis: View breakdown by region, users and models over the last 30 days
Service Spend Reports: Analyze spending across all AWS services for the last 30 days
Detailed Cost Breakdown: Get granular cost data by day, region, service, and instance type
Interactive Interface: Use Claude to query your cost data through natural language

Requirements

Python 3.12
AWS credentials with Cost Explorer access
Anthropic API access (for Claude integration)
[Optional] Amazon Bedrock access (for LangGraph Agent)
[Optional] Amazon EC2 for running a remote MCP server

Installation

Install uv:

# On macOS and Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# On Windows
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Additional installation options are documented here

Clone this repository: (assuming this will be updated to point to aws-samples?)

git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-cloud-spend-mcp-server
cd aws-cost-explorer-mcp

Set up the Python virtual environment and install dependencies:

uv venv --python 3.12 && source .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install --requirement pyproject.toml

Configure your AWS credentials:
```
mkdir -p ~/.aws
# Set up your credentials in ~/.aws/credentials and ~/.aws/config
```
If you use AWS IAM Identity Center, follow the docs to configure your short-term credentials

Usage

Prerequisites

Setup model invocation logs in Amazon CloudWatch.
Ensure that the IAM user/role being used has full read-only access to Amazon Cost Explorer and Amazon CloudWatch, this is required for the MCP server to retrieve data from these services. See here and here for sample policy examples that you can use & modify as per your requirements.
