At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Cloudprice MCP
Cloud Platforms · Local stdio
Quality: 55/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Oci Pricing MCP
Cloud Platforms · Local stdio
Quality: 60/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Cloudprice MCP if you need specialized Cloud Platforms tools running via a local process. Choose Oci Pricing MCP if your workspace requires Cloud Platforms integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.

Cloudprice MCP Tools (13)
get_aws_price
Look up an EC2 instance type → vCPUs, memory, hourly + monthly USD (us-east-1)
get_azure_price
Look up an Azure VM size → vCPUs, memory, hourly + monthly USD (eastus)
get_gcp_price
Look up a GCP Compute Engine machine type → vCPUs, memory, hourly + monthly USD (us-east1)
compare_clouds
Given a target spec (vCPUs + GB), return the cheapest matching SKU across **AWS / Azure / GCP / OCI**, sorted by monthly cost, with savings summary
compare_compute_inventory
Bulk-compare a list of compute workloads (each with vCPUs / memory / quantity / hours / optional OS disk) across all 4 clouds. Returns per-row matches, per-cloud totals, cheapest cloud.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Cloudprice MCP is categorized under Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Oci Pricing MCP belongs to Cloud Platforms using local stdio subprocess. Select Cloudprice MCP when you need capabilities focused on cloud platforms and Oci Pricing MCP when you require tools for cloud platforms.
Bulk-compare managed PostgreSQL pricing across **AWS RDS / Azure Database for PostgreSQL / GCP Cloud SQL / OCI Database with PostgreSQL**. Each row specifies vCPUs / memory / storage_gb. Storage cost is calculated separately from compute.
assess_migration
"Should I move?" — projects per-target cloud cost, savings %, **one-time exit egress cost**, payback months. Returns a ranked recommendation by 3-year TCO with triggered caveats (e.g., "OCI A1.Flex is ARM — verify your AMIs").
optimize_commitment
"When does my RI / SP / CUD pay back?" — six commitment scenarios (`none` / `1yr_no_upfront` / `1yr_all_upfront` / `3yr_no_upfront` / `3yr_partial_upfront` / `3yr_all_upfront`) with per-scenario monthly cost, upfront, 3-year total, savings %, payback months. Recommends the lowest 3-year TCO option.
compare_total_cost_of_ownership
"What's my 3-year cost across clouds?" — multi-year projection with linear YoY growth assumptions for compute / storage / egress. Returns cumulative TCO per cloud, year-by-year breakdown, sensitivity analysis on the dominant variable. The kind of number that goes into board decks.
