About
Enables creating AWS cost estimates through natural language, generating shareable calculator.aws links, and retrieving actual calculated costs via headless Chrome, without requiring AWS credentials.
README
MCP server for AWS Pricing Calculator. Create cost estimates through natural language, get shareable links, retrieve actual AWS-calculated costs.
- 436 services, 72 regions
- Real pricing via headless Chrome (not approximations)
- Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, all pricing models
- No AWS credentials required
Install
Add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aws-calculator": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "aws-calculator-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
| Client | Config file |
|---|---|
| Kiro | ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json |
| Claude Desktop (macOS) | ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json |
| Claude Desktop (Windows) | %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json |
| Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json |
| VS Code | .vscode/mcp.json |
Requires Node.js ≥ 18. Chrome optional (only for cost retrieval).
What it does
You ask your AI assistant to estimate AWS costs. The MCP handles the rest:
- Searches the AWS service catalog
- Looks up valid configuration fields
- Builds the estimate incrementally
- Exports to calculator.aws (shareable link)
- Opens the link in headless Chrome to get actual calculated costs
The pricing is identical to calculator.aws because it is calculator.aws doing the math.

Example
"Estimate a production stack in us-west-2: 2x c5.xlarge EC2 with Savings Plan, Lambda at 20M requests, S3 500GB, CloudFront 1TB"
→ Returns a calculator.aws link + $333.92/mo breakdown by service.
How it works
Your prompt → Agent configures services → MCP packages payload → calculator.aws saves it
→ Chrome opens it → scrapes real costs
No local price calculations. No hardcoded rates. The AWS calculator frontend computes everything.
Requirements
- Node.js ≥ 18
- Chrome (optional) — for
