Overview
What is A sample MCP server for understanding cloud spend?
This MCP server provides AWS cost data via Cost Explorer and Amazon Bedrock usage data from CloudWatch model invocation logs, enabling natural language queries through Claude. It is intended for users who want to analyze and visualize their AWS cloud spending interactively.
How to use A sample MCP server for understanding cloud spend?
Install Python 3.12 and uv, clone the repository, set up a virtual environment, and configure AWS credentials. Run server.py with MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio for local use, then add the configuration to Claude Desktop (either via Docker or UV). For remote deployment, set MCP_TRANSPORT=sse, run on EC2, and connect using a CLI client or a Chainlit LangGraph agent.

Frequently asked questions
How is data accessed and stored?
The server queries AWS Cost Explorer and CloudWatch Logs live via API calls. No data is stored locally; all information is fetched on demand.
Can I run the server remotely?
Yes. Set `MCP_TRANSPORT=sse` and run on EC2. Note that Claude Desktop does not support remote MCP servers; use a LangGraph agent or the provided CLI client instead.
How do I secure a remote MCP server?
Use nginx as a reverse proxy with HTTPS. Obtain an SSL certificate (e.g., from Let’s Encrypt) and configure nginx to proxy to the local MCP server on port 8000.
What tools does the server expose?
Four tools: `get_ec2_spend_last_day`, `get_detailed_breakdown_by_day`, `get_bedrock_daily_usage_stats`, and `get_bedrock_hourly_usage_stats`. Each returns spending or usage data in a readable format.
