@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@aws-calculator-mcpEstimate cost for 2x t3.medium EC2 in us-east-1"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

What it does
You ask your AI assistant to estimate AWS costs. The MCP handles the rest:
Searches the AWS service catalog
Looks up valid configuration fields
Builds the estimate incrementally
Exports to calculator.aws (shareable link)
Opens the link in headless Chrome to get actual calculated costs
The pricing is identical to calculator.aws because it is calculator.aws doing the math.
Tools
Tool | Purpose |
| Find services by keyword |
| Get valid config fields for a service |
| Start a new estimate |
| Add configured services |
| Modify a service in-place |
| Get a shareable calculator.aws URL |
| Get actual costs via headless Chrome |
| Per-service cost breakdown (CSV/Markdown) |
| Download an existing estimate |
Example
"Estimate a production stack in us-west-2: 2x c5.xlarge EC2 with Savings Plan, Lambda at 20M requests, S3 500GB, CloudFront 1TB"
→ Returns a calculator.aws link + $333.92/mo breakdown by service.
How it works
Your prompt → Agent configures services → MCP packages payload → calculator.aws saves it
→ Chrome opens it → scrapes real costsNo local price calculations. No hardcoded rates. The AWS calculator frontend computes everything.
