finops-mcp 0.6.0

Ask Claude about your cloud costs — AWS, Azure, GCP, Datadog, Snowflake, and 8 more

nable — Cloud Cost Intelligence for Claude

Ask Claude about your cloud costs in plain English.

nable is an MCP server that connects Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI client to your real billing data across AWS, Azure, GCP, and 10 SaaS tools.

"What drove our AWS costs up 40% this month?"
"Which team is spending the most on Datadog?"
"Show me rightsizing opportunities for EC2."
"Create a Jira ticket for any anomalies over $500."

No dashboards. No SQL. Just ask.

Quick start

pip install finops-mcp
finops setup        # connects your providers + auto-configures Claude Desktop

That's it. finops setup detects Claude Desktop, resolves the correct binary path, and writes claude_desktop_config.json automatically. Restart Claude Desktop and ask: "What are my AWS costs this month?"

Manual Claude Desktop config (if needed)

If finops setup doesn't auto-configure, run:

finops setup claude

Or add manually — use the absolute path from which finops-mcp:

macOS / Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "finops": { "command": "/usr/local/bin/finops-mcp" }
  }
}

Config file locations:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Why absolute path? Claude Desktop is a GUI app — it doesn't inherit your shell's $PATH. A bare finops-mcp command will fail unless it's in /usr/bin. Always use the full path from which finops-mcp.
