Description

AWS cost optimization MCP server built by CFM Tips that provides runbook-based analysis across EC2, EBS, RDS, and Lambda services using multiple data sources with intelligent fallback logic. The implementation integrates with AWS Cost Explorer, Cost Optimization Hub, Compute Optimizer, Trusted Advisor, Performance Insights, and CloudWatch metrics to identify underutilized resources, unused volumes, idle databases, and over-provisioned Lambda functions. Features include right-sizing recommendations with pricing calculations, markdown and JSON report generation, and multi-service cost analysis workflows that prioritize premium AWS services like Performance Insights and Compute Optimizer before falling back to CloudWatch direct metrics when enterprise features are unavailable.
