- Tagging Governance — Enforce organizational standards by updating tagging policies, ensuring all cloud resources are correctly attributed to departments or projects.
- Custom Pricing — Manage enterprise-specific price books for AWS and Azure to ensure cost estimates reflect your actual negotiated discounts.
- Business Context — Upload custom properties from external systems like ServiceNow or Backstage to map cloud costs to your internal organizational hierarchy.
- Pricing Queries — Programmatically query cloud pricing data to compare costs across different resource types and regions.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Infracost API Token

Frequently asked questions
How can I see all active cost guardrails for my organization?
You can use the list_guardrails tool by providing your organization slug. The agent will return a list of all configured thresholds, including cost increase limits and whether they block PRs.
Can I enforce mandatory tags for my cloud resources using this server?
Yes! Use the update_tagging_policy tool to define mandatory tag keys and allowed values. This helps maintain standards across all your repositories.
Is it possible to block expensive Pull Requests automatically?
Absolutely. When using create_guardrail or update_guardrail, you can set the blockPr parameter to true. This ensures that any infrastructure change exceeding your budget cannot be merged without review.
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.
