What tools are available?
Six tools: list_anomalies, get_cost_explorer, forecast_cost, monthly_breakdown, savings_recommendations, and credit_utilization.
Can the server write to the AWS account?
No. The server is explicitly read‑only and will not start if any attached IAM policy grants write permissions.
What data sources does it use?
It uses AWS Cost Explorer, Cost Anomaly Detection, Compute Optimizer, and Trusted Advisor.
Is the server open source?
Yes, it is licensed under MIT. More verified MCP servers are available at archimedes.market/assets.
