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.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Automated PR Blocking

An engineer submits a Terraform change that would double the monthly spend. The agent detects this via a guardrail and blocks the PR automatically.

02

Discount Management

A FinOps lead updates the enterprise price book through the agent to ensure all new cost estimates include negotiated AWS discounts.

03

Tagging Compliance

The agent updates a tagging policy to require a 'ProjectID' tag, ensuring all new resources are correctly billed to the right cost center.

04

Cost Attribution

You upload custom properties from Backstage to the agent to map cloud resources to specific internal teams.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Infracost 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 Infracost 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Infracost, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Infracost. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

    They use the agent to set budget limits and get summaries of cost impacts for new changes.

FAQ

Questions Infracost owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP help with Terraform costs?

    It allows your AI agent to interact with Infracost to set guardrails, manage pricing, and enforce policies directly related to your Terraform infrastructure.

  • 02

    Can I use my own negotiated cloud discounts?

    Yes. You can create and manage custom enterprise price books for AWS and Azure to ensure your cost estimates are accurate to your actual rates.

  • 03

    What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can connect this MCP to any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 04

    How do I enforce tagging standards?

    You can use the agent to update tagging policies, which allows you to mandate specific tags for all managed cloud resources.

  • 05

    Does this work with AWS and Azure?

    Yes, the MCP supports managing custom price books for both AWS and Azure to reflect enterprise-specific pricing.

  • 06

    How can I see all active cost guardrails for my organization?

    You can use the list_guardrails capability by providing your organization slug. The agent will return a list of all configured thresholds, including cost increase limits and whether they block PRs.

  • 07

    Can I enforce mandatory tags for my cloud resources using this server?

    Yes! Use the update_tagging_policy capability to define mandatory tag keys and allowed values. This helps maintain standards across all your repositories.

  • 08

    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.
