More Details Connect to Claude

Connect your OpenCost instance to any AI agent to gain real-time visibility into your Kubernetes spending and infrastructure efficiency through natural language.

What you can do

  • Workload Allocation — Query costs and resources allocated to clusters, nodes, namespaces, controllers, and pods using get_allocation.
  • Asset Inspection — Retrieve backing cost data for physical infrastructure like Nodes, Disks, and Load Balancers via get_assets.
  • Cloud Billing Integration — Access AWS CUR, Azure Export, and GCP Billing data directly with get_cloud_cost to reconcile K8s costs with provider bills.
  • Third-Party Costs — Track external service expenses (e.g., Datadog, MongoDB Atlas) using custom cost timeseries and total summary tools.
  • Granular Filtering — Aggregate data by labels, annotations, or service levels to understand exactly where your budget is going.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your OpenCost API Base URL
  3. Start auditing your cloud spend from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

Show me the cost allocation for all namespaces over the last 7 days.

I've retrieved the allocation data for the last 7 days. The 'production' namespace accounts for 65% of the spend ($420.50), followed by 'staging' at 20% ($130.00). Would you like to see the breakdown by controller kind?

What are the backing asset costs for our nodes today?

Querying asset data... For today, your cluster nodes have incurred a cost of $45.20. This includes compute costs for 12 m5.large instances and associated EBS volumes. No load balancer costs were detected in this window.

Get the total summary for third-party service costs for the current month.

The total custom costs for this month sum up to $1,250.00. The largest contributors are Datadog ($800.00) and MongoDB Atlas ($450.00). Would you like to see the daily timeseries for these services?

Yes. Use the `get_allocation` tool and set the `aggregate` parameter to 'namespace'. You can also specify a `window` like '7d' to see trends over the last week.
