Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:174-197 (registration)Registers the MCP tool 'get_cost_allocation' including input schema, description, and the handler function that invokes the Kubecost client.
this.tool( 'get_cost_allocation', 'Get cost allocation data from Kubecost', { window: z.string(), aggregate: z.string().optional(), accumulate: z.boolean().optional(), filters: z.record(z.string()).optional(), }, async (params) => { try { const result = await this.kubecostClient.getCostAllocation(params); return { isError: false, content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { return { isError: true, content: [{ type: 'text', text: error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }] }; } } ); - src/index.ts:183-196 (handler)The handler function for the 'get_cost_allocation' tool that calls the Kubecost client and formats the response.

{ window: z.string(), aggregate: z.string().optional(), accumulate: z.boolean().optional(), filters: z.record(z.string()).optional(), }, - src/client/kubecost-client.ts:63-71 (helper)Core helper method in KubecostClient that performs the actual API call to retrieve cost allocation data from the Kubecost server.
async getCostAllocation(params: { window: string; aggregate?: string; accumulate?: boolean; filters?: Record<string, string>; }): Promise<CostAllocationResponse> { const response = await this.client.get('/model/allocation', { params }); return response.data; }
