Model Context Protocol (MCP)
IDE Agent ServerWeekly-Refreshed Catalog
Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, VS Code, Google Gemini / Antigravity, and custom OpenAI agents directly to our normalized catalog of 27,000+ cloud SKUs. Query multi-cloud rates from our weekly-refreshed catalog, compare LLM token economics, and synthesize cost-aware Terraform HCL directly inside your coding workflow.
1Generate Your API Key
Click “Generate API Key” below to create a self-service key for your local IDE or desktop agent.
2Configure Your IDE Client
Copy or export the pre-formatted JSON/YAML snippet for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, or OpenAI.
3Query Multi-Cloud Rates
Ask your coding assistant to benchmark instances, databases, and AI tokens before you deploy.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server
Plug our normalized catalog of 26,000+ cloud SKUs directly into your local AI coding assistants and autonomous agents. Query compute benchmarks, compare LLM token rates, and price multi-cloud architectures dynamically inside your conversational context.
compare_cloud_pricing
Compare VMs, databases, and serverless pricing across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, and DigitalOcean.
search_ai_models
Query token pricing (Input, Output, Prompt Caching) and context windows for OpenAI, Claude, and DeepSeek.
estimate_workload
Calculate full-stack architecture total cost of ownership benchmarks across multiple clouds.
lookup_compliance
Verify region locations, latency zones, and security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA).

Stateless & Zero-IAM
Authenticated JSON-RPC calls return catalog rates from the most recent weekly refresh, with zero cloud credentials and zero prompt storage.
Universal Agent Support
Built on the open Model Context Protocol (`@comparecloudcosts/mcp-server`) for seamless IDE integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server connects conversational AI assistants—including Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, Continue in VS Code, Google Gemini CLI / Antigravity, and OpenAI Custom Assistants—directly to the Compare Cloud Costs 27,000+ SKU dataset. This enables your local coding agent to answer cross-cloud pricing and architectural questions in real time. CCC refreshes its pricing information about once a week, so the catalog is ideal for architecture planning and cost comparison rather than second-by-second spot rates.
