awslabs.aws-pricing-mcp-server
An AWS Labs Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for official pricing of AWS services
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Active maintenance, no vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing make it safe to adopt. Install it if you need to expose AWS pricing queries to an AI assistant or MCP client, or if you want to automate cost analysis of infrastructure code. The natural-language interface and bulk data access are genuine conveniences over direct API calls. Caveat: the package itself cannot guarantee AI assistants will always construct filters correctly or identify the absolute cheapest options—human review of recommendations is prudent for cost-critical decisions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >=3.10, AWS credentials configured with pricing:* IAM permissions, and an MCP-compatible client (Kiro, Cursor, VS Code, or Docker).
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with 7 runtime dependencies (boto3, loguru, mcp, pydantic, pytest-asyncio, pytest, typing-extensions).
- Active maintenance—released 4 days ago with 9598 repository stars and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges AWS pricing data to AI assistants and other MCP clients. It wraps the AWS Pricing API, allowing natural-language queries about service costs, region-by-region comparisons, and bulk pricing downloads. The server also analyzes infrastructure code (CDK, Terraform) to identify AWS services and estimate costs, and generates detailed cost reports with usage scenarios and optimization suggestions.
It runs as a standalone process that your MCP client (Kiro, Cursor, VS Code, or Docker) connects to. Authentication uses standard AWS credentials with pricing:* IAM permissions. All pricing API calls are free. The package depends on boto3 for AWS API access, pydantic for data validation, mcp for protocol handling, and loguru for logging.
Use it for
- Query AWS pricing in plain English (e.g., 'What's the cheapest EC2 instance type in us-west-2?') without learning filter syntax.
- Compare service costs across multiple AWS regions in a single request to identify cost-optimal deployment locations.
- Scan existing CDK or Terraform projects to automatically discover AWS services and estimate infrastructure costs.
- Generate detailed cost reports with unit pricing breakdowns and usage scenarios for budget planning and stakeholder communication.
- Get cost-optimization recommendations aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework principles for existing architectures.
