OpenClaw FinOps Overview

OpenClaw FinOps MCP server gives AI agents deterministic deployment cost forecasts for supported AWS, GCP, and Azure services. It exposes one MCP tool, `forecast_deployment_cost`, over Streamable HTTP and authenticates requests with an API key. Use it when an agent needs itemized infrastructure estimates instead of generated pricing guesses. The service also applies usage limits and can surface upgrade instructions as MCP tool errors.

Primary Use Cases for OpenClaw FinOps:
  • Forecast monthly costs for a proposed AWS deployment
  • Compare supported service estimates across AWS, GCP, and Azure
  • Give coding agents itemized infrastructure cost breakdowns
  • Track free-tier forecast operations before an upgrade
