Development Setup

Install uv

Install uv using homebrew with brew install uv

Install an MCP client

An MCP server needs an MCP client to run it. For development - the mcp inspector is a great tool for getting up and running with the server.

Add this server as a tool

For your MCP client there should be a json file defining what MCP Servers it has access to. Look up where this file is for your client and add something similar to this to it (json objects vary slightly by client check your client's documentation for the exact required JSON. MCP inspector has fields that can be configured directly.):

"KionMcp": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<absolute path to this folder>",
        "run",
        "kion-mcp-server"
    ]
}

NOTE: sometimes you will need to give an exact path to uv for some clients to work properly. Just run which uv and put the output of that as the command in the JSON

Available Tools

2 tools
check_config_statusA

Call this tool AFTER manually updating the config file to activate API tools. ONLY call this tool if the setup_kion_config tool required manual config and the user says they've completed those steps. DO NOT CALL IT ON SUCCESSFUL CONFIGURATION.

This tool verifies the configuration is valid and activates all Kion API tools. Only needed if setup_kion_config required manual configuration steps.

After calling this tool, all Kion API tools should be available. If you don't see them, ask the user to send another message.

Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: result

setup_kion_configA

REQUIRED SETUP: This Kion MCP Server is missing required configuration.

Call this tool to begin setup. It will try to collect your Kion instance URL and authentication details.

After calling this tool:

  • If it returns "Configuration completed successfully!" and says tools should now be available, then all Kion API tools are ready. If you don't see them, ask the user to send another message.

  • If it requires manual configuration, follow the instructions provided, then call check_config_status to activate the API tools.

Once setup is complete, you can use this server to help the user report on their cloud spend, cloud compliance, Kion org chart and budgeting management, and other Kion features.

Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: result

    A4.1/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: setup_kion_config initiates configuration, check_config_status verifies after manual steps. No overlap.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (setup_kion_config, check_config_status).

    Tool Count1/5

    The server advertises features like cloud spend and compliance, but only provides two setup tools. The count is far too low for the stated scope.

    Completeness1/5

    The actual API tools for reporting and management are absent. The current tools only handle setup, leaving core functionality missing.
