About OpenCost (K8s Cost) MCP Server

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

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OpenCost (K8s Cost) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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.

The OpenCost (K8s Cost) MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

OpenCost (K8s Cost) + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating OpenCost (K8s Cost) MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
