We are excited to release the aws-pricing-mcp-server, an open-source tool in the AWS Labs GitHub repository, that brings natural language pricing queries to your favorite AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Now you can simply ask “What would it cost to run three m5.large instances and a MySQL RDS database in us-west-2?” and get instant pricing answers using natural language queries without leaving your workflow.

The AWS Price List Query API now supports four new filter types, giving you more precise ways to search product data. With the new filters, you can now search products by exactly matching attributes, using sub-string matches, or creating include/exclude lists for more targeted results. These new filters simplify product discovery, enabling more efficient data retrieval. You can now easily find specific groups of products—such as all m5 EC2 instance types—with a single, streamlined filter instead of creating multiple complex queries. The new filter capabilities are available in all regions where the AWS Price List API is supported.

Today, AWS announces the release of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/price-changes.html, now available in the https://github.com/awslabs/mcp/tree/main/src/aws-pricing-mcp-server. The MCP server provides AI agents with real-time access to AWS product data, availability information and pricing details, including on-demand, reserved, and savings plans. With this launch, you can leverage AI assistants, including Amazon Q Developer CLI, and Claude Desktop, to retrieve AWS product and pricing information, compare pricing options across regions, and make data-driven decisions about AWS service selections - all through natural language conversations. You can download and integrate the open-source server with your preferred MCP-compatible AI assistant. The server connects securely to the AWS Price List using standard AWS credentials with minimal configuration required.
