awslabs.billing-cost-management-mcp-server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for AWS Billing and Cost Management by wrapping boto3 SDK functions.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. This is an actively maintained, recently released tool (0.0.33, 2026-08-14) from AWS Labs with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. It solves a real problem—programmatic access to AWS billing data—and integrates cleanly into MCP-compatible IDEs and AI assistants. The permissive Apache-2.0 license imposes no restrictions. Install it if you need to query AWS costs, budgets, or optimization recommendations from an MCP client; skip it if you only use the AWS Console or CLI directly.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS credentials configured (via aws configure, environment variables, or AWS_PROFILE); IAM role/user must have permissions to access AWS Billing and Cost Management APIs.
- Low friction installation via wheel distribution.
- Active maintenance with recent release (0.0.33 released 2026-08-14).

What it is and what it does
This package wraps AWS Billing and Cost Management APIs into a Model Context Protocol server, making cost and billing data accessible to MCP-compatible clients (like Kiro, Cursor, or VS Code with MCP support). It runs as a standalone service that translates MCP tool calls into boto3 API requests, handling authentication via your AWS credentials.
The server exposes a broad surface of billing operations: Cost Explorer queries with grouping and filtering, budget status checks, cost anomaly detection, Compute Optimizer and Cost Optimization Hub recommendations, Reserved Instance and Savings Plans analysis, S3 Storage Lens metrics, month-over-month cost comparisons, Billing Conductor group management, cost allocation tags, cost categories, invoice summaries, and specialized cost optimization prompts (e.g., Graviton migration analysis). All calls execute under your AWS credentials and are subject to AWS service limits.
Use it for
- Query historical and forecasted AWS costs with flexible grouping to identify spending trends and cost drivers across your environment.
- Monitor Free Tier usage and detect cost anomalies to avoid unexpected charges and catch unusual spending patterns early.
- Retrieve right-sizing recommendations from Compute Optimizer and Savings Plans guidance to optimize EC2, Lambda, and EBS costs.
- Analyze S3 storage costs by bucket and storage class, then identify lifecycle policy opportunities to reduce storage expenses.
- Compare costs and usage across linked AWS accounts and billing periods to understand multi-account spending and allocate costs to teams.
- List and manage billing groups, pricing rules, and custom line items in Billing Conductor for chargeback and cost allocation workflows.
