How does this MCP help with SRE budgeting?

It allows you to calculate the ROI of prevention investments and simulate how much money you save by reducing MTTR, providing hard numbers for budget requests.

What data do I need to provide to calculate incident impact?

You'll need to provide details like the number of incidents, MTTR, response costs, downtime costs, and the distribution of incident severities.

Can I use this with Cursor or VS Code?

Yes, this MCP is compatible with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Does this MCP integrate with my incident management capability?

This MCP provides the mathematical capabilities for your AI client to perform calculations. You provide the data from your incident management capabilities to the AI to run the models.

How is ROI calculated for stability improvements?

The MCP uses the calculate_prevention_roi capability to compare the cost of an investment against the projected reduction in incident-related costs.

How does this capability calculate total incident cost?

The total cost is the sum of the direct response cost (personnel time) and the downtime cost (economic loss from unavailability), weighted by the severity distribution.

Can I use this to justify budget for better observability?

Yes, by using calculate_prevention_roi, you can estimate the net savings and payback period of an investment compared to the current incident costs.

What is the difference between response cost and downtime cost?

Response cost is the expense of the technical team resolving the issue, while downtime cost is the revenue or SLA loss caused by the service being unavailable.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Incident Response Economics.

01
Analyze severity impact
This capability breaks down your total costs by severity level. It helps you see which incident tiers are driving your highest expenses.
02
Calculate incident economics
This capability establishes your financial baseline. It calculates the total economic impact based on your current incident profile.
03
Calculate prevention roi
This capability builds a business case for stability. It calculates the expected return on investment for a specific prevention strategy.
04
Simulate mttr optimization
This capability models potential savings. It estimates how much money you'll save by reducing your mean time to recovery.

Real work

What teams actually run

Budget Approval

Use the ROI capability to show how a $5,000 investment in better monitoring pays for itself through reduced downtime.

Post-Mortem Analysis

Quantify the exact cost of a recent major outage to help stakeholders understand the impact.

Reliability Planning

Simulate different MTTR scenarios to decide whether to focus on faster detection or faster resolution.

Resource Allocation

Analyze severity impact to decide if you should prioritize fixing high-severity bugs over low-severity ones.

One connector, every AI

Incident Response Economics works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Incident Response Economics to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
