ct-kubecost-mcp-server
A CloudThinker stdio MCP server for KubeCost and OpenCost. It auto-connects from environment variables and serves read-only Kubernetes cost tools, so it drops into CloudThinker's env-injection connection model.
There is no pip-installable upstream MCP to wrap — OpenCost's MCP server is Go,
compiled into its cost-model binary (pkg/mcp/server.go). This server authors the
tools directly against the KubeCost/OpenCost HTTP cost API, mirroring OpenCost's
four query types: allocation, asset, cloudcost, efficiency.
What it does
- Reads
KUBECOST_*env vars at startup and connects to the cost API. - Serves read-only tools over stdio.
- KubeCost serves the API under
/model(/model/allocation); bare OpenCost serves it at the root (/allocation). Controlled byKUBECOST_API_PREFIX(default/model).
Run
uvx --from ct-kubecost-mcp-server@0.2.0 ct-kubecost-mcp-server

Tools (read-only)
| Tool | Purpose | API |
|---|---|---|
get_allocation |
in-cluster cost by namespace/controller/pod (chargeback) | GET {prefix}/allocation |
get_assets |
cloud asset cost (nodes, disks, network) | GET {prefix}/assets |
get_cloud_cost |
out-of-cluster cloud bill | GET {prefix}/cloudCost |
get_efficiency |
right-sizing — requested vs used, estimated wasted cost | derived from /allocation |
health |
reachability + auth probe | GET {prefix}/allocation?window=1h |
Time windows accept KubeCost/OpenCost formats: today, week, month, Nd
(e.g. 7d), Nh, or an RFC3339 / unix-timestamp range.
