Model Context Protocol (MCP)

IDE Agent ServerWeekly-Refreshed Catalog

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, VS Code, Google Gemini / Antigravity, and custom OpenAI agents directly to our normalized catalog of 27,000+ cloud SKUs. Query multi-cloud rates from our weekly-refreshed catalog, compare LLM token economics, and synthesize cost-aware Terraform HCL directly inside your coding workflow.

How it works:

1Generate Your API Key

Click “Generate API Key” below to create a self-service key for your local IDE or desktop agent.

2Configure Your IDE Client

Copy or export the pre-formatted JSON/YAML snippet for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, or OpenAI.

3Query Multi-Cloud Rates

Ask your coding assistant to benchmark instances, databases, and AI tokens before you deploy.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

Plug our normalized catalog of 26,000+ cloud SKUs directly into your local AI coding assistants and autonomous agents. Query compute benchmarks, compare LLM token rates, and price multi-cloud architectures dynamically inside your conversational context.

Available MCP Tools in Your Agent:

compare_cloud_pricing

Compare VMs, databases, and serverless pricing across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, and DigitalOcean.

search_ai_models

Query token pricing (Input, Output, Prompt Caching) and context windows for OpenAI, Claude, and DeepSeek.

estimate_workload

Calculate full-stack architecture total cost of ownership benchmarks across multiple clouds.

lookup_compliance

Verify region locations, latency zones, and security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA).

Stateless & Zero-IAM

Authenticated JSON-RPC calls return catalog rates from the most recent weekly refresh, with zero cloud credentials and zero prompt storage.

Universal Agent Support

Built on the open Model Context Protocol (`@comparecloudcosts/mcp-server`) for seamless IDE integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server connects conversational AI assistants—including Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, Continue in VS Code, Google Gemini CLI / Antigravity, and OpenAI Custom Assistants—directly to the Compare Cloud Costs 27,000+ SKU dataset. This enables your local coding agent to answer cross-cloud pricing and architectural questions. CCC refreshes its pricing information about once a week, so the data is not real-time.
