AWS Billing and Cost Management MCP Server
Queries account billing and cost data, with optional analysis workflows that use Athena and S3.
“MCP server for accessing AWS Billing and Cost Management capabilities.”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Queries account billing and cost data, with optional analysis workflows that use Athena and S3.
- Investigating account cost trends, budgets and anomalies.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- src/billing-cost-management-mcp-server/README.md
- LICENSE
Our findings
- The normal uvx launch is documented, but required IAM permissions vary by selected feature.
- Storage Lens configuration names both a manifest location and an Athena results location.
- No cloud account or query was exercised; permission-list review is not proof every granted permission is used.
Not established by this review
- The pinned documentation and selected source files were reviewed; the external server was not executed by this review.
- No authenticated service requests, account mutations, tenant access controls, or end-to-end MCP client setup were tested.
- A repository revision does not pin an unversioned or @latest registry package; resolved package provenance and runtime permission enforcement remain unverified.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.
03 / PUT IT TO WORK
Connect a server deliberately.
DOCUMENTED COMMAND
uvx awslabs.billing-cost-management-mcp-server@latestCopying does not execute this command. It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source.
- Register the uvx command.
- Use a role that can read billing, not a role assumed from the server name.
Before you start
