Bring Your Agent
Live MCP ServerConnect your AI coding assistants and autonomous agents directly to the Compare Cloud Costs normalized catalog via the open Model Context Protocol (MCP). Query compute rates, model token pricing, and cross-cloud equivalencies inside Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, VS Code, or Gemini CLI.
Ask Your AI Assistant Before You Provision
About to spin up an EC2 instance or configure a managed database cluster? Ask Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT whether that same specification would be cheaper on Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, or DigitalOcean—answered from our verified database of 26,000+ SKUs rather than outdated training data.
How It Works
Connect your IDE or desktop assistant to the Compare Cloud Costs MCP server in three simple steps.
Generate Your API Key
Visit the MCP Server page and generate your dedicated API key. Add the server snippet to your client configuration file.
Ask in Natural Language
Ask your assistant to benchmark a resource you are about to provision—or already run in Terraform—against equivalent options across 24 cloud and AI providers.
Receive Verified Sourced Rates
Your assistant executes tools against our live database, returning verified rates, vCPU/RAM specs, bandwidth costs, and automated architectural trade-offs.
Core Capabilities
Empowering developers, cloud architects, and FinOps practitioners with real-time rate intelligence inside their IDE.
Authenticated & Secure
API key-authenticated JSON-RPC requests ensure reliable, rate-limited access to our catalog from any local or cloud-hosted AI client.
Assistant-Agnostic
Built on the open standard by Anthropic, enabling identical tool access across Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and custom agents without bespoke plugins.
Multi-Cloud Normalization
Normalized parameters (vCPU, memory, storage IOPS, token billing models) allow agents to perform true apples-to-apples cost arbitrage calculations.
