AWS Cost Saver
Enables scanning AWS accounts for cost optimization opportunities by reading resource configurations and pricing data, without making any modifications.
README
AWS Cost Saver
Find what's wasting money in your AWS account.
You: "Scan my AWS for cost savings"
Claude: Found 8 issues. Potential savings: $340/month
Installation
The plugin ships with both a .claude-plugin/plugin.json (Claude Code) and a .codex-plugin/plugin.json (Codex) manifest, so the same source tree installs cleanly into either agent.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add prajapatimehul/claude-aws-cost-saver
/plugin install aws-cost-saver@aws-cost-saver-marketplace
Or interactively: /plugin → Marketplaces → Add Marketplace → prajapatimehul/claude-aws-cost-saver.
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add prajapatimehul/claude-aws-cost-saver
Then launch Codex and run /plugins to browse and install aws-cost-saver.
Other agents (MCP only)
Any agent that supports MCP can wire the AWS API server directly using plugins/aws-cost-saver/.mcp.json as a template. Skills live under plugins/aws-cost-saver/skills/ and can be loaded as plain Markdown.
Quick Start
/aws-cost-saver:scan
Or just ask: Scan my AWS account for cost savings
Requirements: AWS credentials configured (aws configure or SSO), uv installed.
This tool only reads data — it never modifies or deletes anything. A PreToolUse hook blocks any MCP call containing write verbs (delete, terminate, stop, create-, modify, …).
Features
- 163 checks across EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, ECS, EKS, Aurora, SageMaker, and 30+ services
- Parallel scanning - 11 domain agents run simultaneously
- Confidence scoring - filters false positives
- Real pricing - uses AWS Cost Explorer
- Markdown reports - clean, actionable output
What's included
Commands (slash)
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/aws-cost-saver:scan |
Full cost optimization scan across 11 domains |
Skills (auto-loaded)
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
reviewing-findings |
Confidence-scored review; filters false positives |
validating-aws-pricing |
Mandatory Pricing-API/verified-table sanity check before reporting |
Subagent
aws-cost-saver:aws-cost-saver — domain-scoped scanner. Invoke 11 in parallel (one per domain) for a full account audit.
MCP server
The plugin pre-wires the AWS API MCP server (mcp__awslabs-aws-api__call_aws) in .mcp.json, launched via uvx from scripts/start-mcp.sh. A PreToolUse hook in hooks.json blocks any write/mutation command, keeping every scan read-only.
CLI
The repository also ships a standalone Python CLI (main.py) usable without a coding agent:
python main.py checks # list all 173 checks
python main.py check EC2-001 # detail for one check
python main.py scan-info # show the AWS CLI commands a scan runs
python main.py spend-hotspots --profile X # rank scan order by real spend (Cost Explorer)
python main.py report --findings findings.json
Demo
Results

Before & After
Real AWS account: $105/day → $42/day after running the scanner
How it works
Step 1: Choose compliance requirements

Step 2: Parallel agents scan your account

Domains & Checks
| Domain | Checks | Key Areas |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | 25 | EC2 idle/over-provisioned, EBS, GP2→GP3 |
| Storage | 22 | S3 lifecycle, CloudWatch Logs, snapshots |
| Database | 15 | RDS idle/over-provisioned, RI coverage |
| Networking | 15 | Unused EIPs, NAT, VPC endpoints |
| Serverless | 10 | Lambda memory, unused functions |
| Reservations | 10 | RI/Savings Plans coverage |
| Containers | 15 | ECS/EKS idle, Fargate, Spot |
| Advanced DBs | 18 | Aurora, DocumentDB, Neptune, Redshift |
| Analytics | 15 | SageMaker, EMR, OpenSearch |
| Data Pipelines | 12 | Kinesis, MSK, Glue |
| Storage Advanced | 6 | FSx, AWS Backup |
Troubleshooting
"MCP server not found" — Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
"AWS credentials not configured" — Run aws configure or aws sso login
"Access Denied" — Use ReadOnlyAccess policy or check permissions
