From the repository
Configure the server with AWS credentials that have read-only policies for Cost Explorer and Anomaly Detection. At startup it verifies that no attached IAM policy contains any write verb; if it does, the server refuses to boot. Once running, invoke any of the six available MCP tools (e.g., list_anomalies, get_cost_explorer, forecast_cost) from an AI agent.

AWS Cost Explorer + Anomaly Detection wrapped as MCP tools for AI agents. Surface unexpected spend, pull cost
breakdowns by service / account / tag, fetch forecasts and savings recommendations — without any write
capability against the AWS account.
## Tools
- list_anomalies — recent cost anomalies with severity + root-cause hints
- get_cost_explorer — cost breakdown by dimension over a time window
- forecast_cost — 30/60/90-day forecast with confidence bounds
- monthly_breakdown — month-over-month spend with delta highlights
- savings_recommendations — Compute Optimizer + Trusted Advisor
- credit_utilization — credits remaining, expiration dates
## Read-only enforcement
The server resolves the calling identity at startup. If any attached IAM policy contains a write verb (Create,
Delete, Modify, Put, Update, Run, Start, Stop, Terminate, Reboot), the server refuses to boot.
