FinOps Export Analyzer
Ingests and analyzes cloud cost export files from providers like AWS CUR, Azure, and GCP billing data. Breaks down spend by service, tag, region, and time; detects anomalies and trends. FinOps engineers and cloud finance analysts use it to audit bills and identify savings.
Overview
FinOps Export Analyzer is an MCP server for processing exported cloud cost datasets. It parses structured files (CSV, Parquet) from cloud billing exports, enabling queries on spend allocation, usage patterns, and optimization metrics via programmatic access.
Key Capabilities
- Parsing cost export files to extract dimensions like service, account, region, and usage type.
- Aggregating and filtering spend data for custom breakdowns (e.g., by tag or project).
- Computing metrics such as cost trends, anomalies, and simple forecasts from historical data.
No specific named tools exposed; capabilities focus on core export analysis functions.
Use Cases
-
Load AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) Parquet files to query monthly spend by EC2 instance type and pinpoint idle resources.
-
Analyze Azure consumption exports across subscriptions to compare costs pre- and post-optimization.
-
Process GCP billing exports to tag and allocate costs to business units for chargeback reporting.
-
Scan exports for sudden spikes in data transfer fees and correlate with application changes.
Who This Is For
FinOps practitioners managing cloud budgets, cloud cost analysts reviewing bills, IT finance teams handling chargebacks, and DevOps engineers tracking resource efficiency.
