# Umbrella MCP Server - Example Test Questions ## ๐Ÿ” Authentication **First, always authenticate:** ``` authenticate(username="elisha@umbrellacost.cloud", password="6K2UX6DoYSgV%E") ``` or ``` authenticate(username="elisha@umbrellacost.net", password="G37oi57Kp@cNzx") ``` ## ๐Ÿ“Š Basic Data Exploration ### Service Information - "What AWS services are available in my account?" - "Show me all the distinct service names I have data for" - "List all available cloud services and their costs" ### Account Overview - "What accounts do I have access to?" - "Show me my user information and permissions" - "What customers am I managing?" (for MSP users) ## ๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost Analysis Questions ### Current Spending - "Show me my cloud spending for this month" - "What are my costs for January 2024?" - "Get my cost and usage data for the last 30 days" ### Historical Analysis - "Show me cost trends over the last 6 months" - "What was my spending in Q4 2023?" - "Compare my costs between December 2023 and January 2024" ### Service-Level Analysis - "What are my top 5 most expensive AWS services?" - "Show me RDS costs for the last quarter" - "Which S3 buckets are costing the most?" - "What are my EC2 instance costs by region?" ### Account-Level Breakdown - "Which AWS accounts have the highest spending?" - "Show me costs grouped by account and service" - "What's the cost breakdown by account for the last month?" ## ๐ŸŽฏ Cost Optimization ### Recommendations - "What cost optimization recommendations do you have?" - "Show me all available cost-saving opportunities" - "Are there any underutilized resources I should know about?" - "What reserved instance recommendations do you have?" ### Savings Analysis - "Show me my reserved instance utilization" - "What savings plans would benefit my usage patterns?" - "Are there any idle resources I should consider shutting down?" - "Show me commitment analysis and utilization rates" ## ๐Ÿšจ Monitoring & Alerts ### Anomaly Detection - "Are there any cost anomalies I should be aware of?" - "Show me unusual spending patterns from last week" - "Have there been any cost spikes recently?" - "What anomalies were detected in the last month?" ### Budget Management - "What's my current budget status?" - "Show me all my budgets and their alerts" - "Are any of my budgets approaching their limits?" - "What budget automations do I have configured?" ## ๐Ÿข Resource Management ### EC2 Analysis - "Show me my EC2 instance usage and costs" - "What are my most expensive EC2 instances?" - "Are there any idle EC2 instances?" ### Storage Analysis - "What are my S3 storage costs by bucket?" - "Show me database (RDS) instance costs" - "What's my storage usage and cost breakdown?" ### Kubernetes (if applicable) - "What are my Kubernetes cluster costs?" - "Show me K8s costs broken down by namespace" - "What's the most expensive Kubernetes workload?" ## ๐Ÿ“ˆ Advanced Analysis ### Multi-Cloud (if applicable) - "Show me costs across all cloud providers" - "Compare AWS vs Azure vs GCP spending" - "What's my multi-cloud cost distribution?" ### Time-Based Queries - "Show me daily cost trends for the last week" - "What was my peak spending day last month?" - "How do my costs compare month-over-month?" ### Regional Analysis - "What regions are most expensive for me?" - "Show me cost breakdown by AWS region" - "Which region has the highest EC2 costs?" ## ๐Ÿ” Detailed Reporting ### Resource Explorer - "Show me detailed resource information for a specific instance" - "What resources are in my us-east-1 region?" - "Get resource-level cost breakdown" ### Custom Dashboards - "What dashboards do I have configured?" - "Show me my custom cost dashboards" - "What visualization options are available?" ## ๐Ÿ“‹ Data Export & Integration ### Service Metadata - "What are all the distinct service cost categories?" - "Show me available cost allocation tags" - "What resource types can I analyze?" ### Account Structure - "What's my account hierarchy?" (for MSP users) - "Show me all linked accounts and their details" - "What cost centers am I managing?" ## ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Troubleshooting & Help ### Getting Help - "What endpoints are available?" - "Show me help for authentication" - "What parameters can I use with cost queries?" - "How do I filter data by date range?" ### API Information - "List all available API endpoints" - "What's the format for date parameters?" - "How do I specify account filters?" --- ## ๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tips for Better Results 1. **Always authenticate first** before making any data requests 2. **Use specific date ranges** for historical analysis (YYYY-MM-DD format) 3. **Filter by account or service** for focused analysis 4. **Start with broader queries** then narrow down based on results 5. **Check available endpoints** if you get "not found" errors 6. **Use help topics** for parameter guidance ## ๐Ÿ”„ Common Parameters - `startDate` / `endDate`: Filter by date range (YYYY-MM-DD) - `accountId`: Filter by specific AWS account - `region`: Filter by AWS region - `serviceNames`: Filter by service names - `groupBy`: Group results by dimension - `limit` / `offset`: Control result pagination ## โš ๏ธ Important Notes - All API access is **read-only** for security - Some endpoints require specific parameters (like account ID) - Date ranges should be reasonable (not too broad for performance) - MSP customers may have access to multiple customer accounts - Direct customers see only their own account data
