Infrastructure Archaeology

Git blame for your cloud infrastructure. Find who created any AWS resource in 5 seconds.

The Problem

$384K/year wasted on orphaned cloud resources nobody dares to delete.

The Solution

Ask your AI: "Who created EC2 instance i-abc123?"

Get: Creator, timestamp, method (Console/Terraform/CLI), cost, and full context.

Features (v0.1)

• EC2, RDS, S3 resource tracking
• CloudTrail event correlation
• Works with or without audit logs
• <5 second response time

Quick Start

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/infra-archaeology-mcp.git
cd infra-archaeology-mcp
python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

# Configure AWS
aws configure
