Open-source cloud cost tools for AI agents

Three tools, one agentic FinOps loop

Ordered by how much of the loop they hand to your agent. Start at the top.

Agent Skills

Build your own FinOps agent

Ask your agent what you spent on AWS last month. Ask which savings opportunities are worth the engineering time, and which are Fool's Gold. Ask whether your reservations still cover your fleet.

This is a Claude Code plugin over the glassity CLI. It ships the skills that teach an agent your cost surface, the subagents that dig into one opportunity at a time, and the slash commands for the full FinOps loop from discovery to closure.

The questions that matter are follow-ups. Which service drove that spike? Is it one account or all of them? What would rightsizing actually save, net of the week it takes? Each one is a different query, and answering them in a conversation is faster than clicking through six screens.

Two subagents for the deep dives:

Six slash commands covering the five-step loop:

# npm — installs the skills, subagents, and slash commandsnpx @glassity/agent-skills install          # -> ~/.claudenpx @glassity/agent-skills install --here   # -> ./.claude, project-local # then install the CLI and sign inbrew install glassity/tap/glassityglassity auth login

glassity CLI

The FinOps loop from your terminal

glassity is the command-line interface to Glassity, a FinOps platform for AWS estates. It reads the same whether a person or an agent runs it: flags in, JSON out, stable exit codes, no prompts on the critical path.

Command groups cover opportunities, cost analysis, recommendations, assignments, governance, and raw API access. There is also a filesystem mount that serves a server-built snapshot of your AWS estate over FUSE as a read-only tree.

focus-mcp

Query your billing data in plain language

FOCUS is the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification, the open standard for cloud billing data. AWS, Microsoft and Google Cloud all export it natively, which means one schema and one set of queries work across every provider.

The FOCUS MCP Server connects Claude, or any MCP client, to that data. Questions that used to mean hand-written SQL become one-line prompts.

• “What are my highest-cost services by region this month?”
• “Show me commitment discount utilization trends.”
• “Which accounts have unusual spending patterns?”
• “Explain the difference between BilledCost and EffectiveCost.”
