This repo provides tutorials, MCP server documentation, client guides, and security frameworks for implementing the Model Context Protocol across AWS, Azure, and GCP.\n\n**18 MCP servers documented** | **7 step-by-step tutorials** | **9 MCP clients compared** | **3 cloud providers covered**\n\n---\n\n## How do I get started?\n\n1. **[Choose an MCP client](clients/comparison.md)** — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code\n2. **[Run your first MCP tutorial](tutorials/01-aws-pricing-quickstart.md)** — query real-time AWS pricing in 15 minutes\n3. **[Explore all FinOps MCP servers](servers/)** — AWS, Azure, GCP, Tagging, JIRA, Slack\n\n---\n\n## Recent Updates (March 2026)\n\n- **New: Workflow \u0026 Collaboration Servers** — [FinOps Tagging Compliance](./servers/tagging.md), [JIRA](./servers/jira.md), and [Slack](./servers/slack.md) MCP servers for automated cost governance\n- **Registry Backfill** — [`registry.yaml`](./servers/configs/registry.yaml) now lists all 18 documented MCP servers\n- **MCP Authentication Vulnerabilities** (January 2026) — Critical security risks and remediation ([read more](./governance/mcp-authentication-vulnerabilities-2026.md))\n- **AWS MCP Remote Server** — GA with 15,000+ AWS APIs ([tutorial](./tutorials/07-aws-mcp-remote-server.md))\n\n---\n\n## What's inside?\n\n| Section | What you'll find |\n|---------|-----------------|\n| [/foundations](./foundations) | What is MCP, how it works, architecture deep-dive |\n| [/servers](./servers) | 18 MCP servers — AWS, Azure, GCP, Tagging, JIRA, Slack |\n| [/clients](./clients) | 9 MCP clients compared — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, Kiro |\n| [/tutorials](./tutorials) | 7 step-by-step guides for AWS, Azure, GCP cost analysis |\n| [/governance](./governance) | Security best practices, IAM policies, vulnerability guides |\n\n---\n\n## What is MCP and why does it matter for FinOps?\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./images/MCP_USB.jpeg\" alt=\"MCP Architecture - Hub \u0026 Spoke Model\" width=\"50%\"\u003e\n\n*MCP connects AI clients to cloud cost management tools through a standardized protocol*\n\nThe **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that lets AI agents securely connect to external tools — like AWS Cost Explorer, GCP BigQuery billing exports, Azure Cost Management, or third-party FinOps platforms like Vantage. It's the bridge between \"ask a question about cloud spend\" and \"get a real answer from live data.\"\n\n**Industry Adoption (March 2026)**: MCP was donated to the **Linux Foundation** (December 2025) with backing from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and AWS. The ecosystem has grown to **10,000+ active MCP servers** and is supported by all major AI platforms.\n\n### What can MCP do for cloud cost optimization?\n\n- **Cost anomaly detection** — AI agents query Cost Explorer and alert on spend spikes\n- **Tagging compliance** — automated audits of tag coverage and drift detection\n- **Resource optimization** — rightsizing recommendations, idle resource identification\n- **Budget monitoring** — real-time threshold alerts via Slack, JIRA ticket creation\n- **Multi-cloud cost analysis** — unified queries across AWS, Azure, and GCP\n- **Cost simulation** — what-if scenarios for commitment purchases and architecture changes\n\nBut MCP also raises **governance and security** challenges — this repo addresses both.\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions — new MCP servers, tutorials, use cases, and security guidance.\n\n1. Fork the repo and create a branch\n2. Add your content\n3. Open a PR with a clear description\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. New to MCP or FinOps?
