Generates Amazon Web Services (AWS) cost estimates for services such as EC2 and RDS PostgreSQL, exports them to the AWS Pricing Calculator, and produces Excel cost reports with real pricing and INR conversion.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@AWS Cost Estimator MCP Generate cost report for 3 EC2 m5.large and RDS PostgreSQL in ap-south-1"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
An end-to-end AWS cost estimation solution for teams. Ask your AI IDE to build an estimate — get a formatted Excel report with real pricing, INR conversion, and best practices. No manual steps.
You say: "Generate a cost report for Acme Corp with 3 EC2 m5.large and RDS PostgreSQL in ap-south-1"
AI does: 1. Builds estimate with full validation (Node.js MCP)
2. Saves to calculator.aws → gets shareable URL
3. Opens URL in headless browser → scrapes real costs
4. Generates formatted Excel (.xlsx) with INR pricing
You get: Acme_Corp_Cost_Report.xlsx in your project folderRelated MCP server: AWS FinOps MCP Server
Server | Language | What it does |
AWS Pricing Calculator MCP | Node.js | Searches 436+ AWS services, validates configs, builds estimates, exports to calculator.aws |
Cost Report Generator MCP | Python | Takes the estimate URL, fetches real costs via headless browser, produces formatted Excel |
See SETUP.md for complete step-by-step instructions.
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/vivek-daml/aws-cost-estimator-mcp.git
cd aws-cost-estimator-mcp
# Node.js side (estimate creation)
npm install
npm run build
# Python side (report generation)
cd cost-report-mcp
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium
cd ..Add to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json (or equivalent for Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code).
Replace /path/to/aws-cost-estimator-mcp with the actual folder where you cloned this repo,
and use forward slashes / (not backslashes) in the paths:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aws-pricing-calculator-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/aws-cost-estimator-mcp/dist/mcp-server.js"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": [

"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": [
"generate_cost_report_excel",
"generate_cost_report_from_csv",
"get_exchange_rate"
]
}
}
}The generated report includes:
Summary sheet — total monthly cost in INR
AWS Services sheet — S.NO, Service, Per Month USD, Per Month INR, Per Year INR
EC2/RDS details — Instance Type, vCPU, RAM, OS/Database, Running Hours, Pricing Model
Pricing Link — the calculator.aws URL for reference
Notes — region, exchange rate, per-service configuration descriptions
