AWS Pricing MCP Server
Queries AWS price-list information and can save local cost reports.
“MCP server for accessing real-time AWS pricing information and providing cost analysis capabilities”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Queries AWS price-list information and can save local cost reports.
- Discovering service attributes before constructing a price query.
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/aws-pricing-mcp-server/README.md
- LICENSE
Our findings
- README144–145 distinguishes AWS_PROFILE from the Pricing API endpoint region; AWS_REGION alone is not the quoted product location.
- The report tool writes local files; the README describes output-directory confinement, not an independently tested security guarantee.
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.aws-pricing-mcp-server@latestCopying does not execute this command. It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source.
- Install uv.
- Register the uvx command in the MCP client.
- Set AWS_PROFILE for the intended account and AWS_REGION for the Pricing API endpoint; specify the product location in the query. Configure AWS_PRICING_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR for generated reports.
Before you start
- uv and a supported Python interpreter
- AWS credentials with the necessary Pricing API permissions
Documented configuration example
