Claude Code Plugin
An AI-powered cloud cost analysis plugin that enables natural language conversations about your cloud spending through Claude Code.
CloudZero's Claude Plugin is an AI-powered cloud cost analysis solution that enables natural language conversations about your cloud spending. Using Claude Code with the CloudZero plugin, you can investigate cost spikes, analyze trends, compare spending across dimensions, and identify optimization opportunities through simple questions.
What is the Claude Code Plugin?
The plugin installs a set of Claude Skills and the CloudZero MCP Server that work together:
-
CloudZero MCP Server: A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides secure, authenticated access to your CloudZero cost data. The server exposes tools that AI assistants use to query cost data, dimensions, and organization context.
-
CloudZero Skills for Claude Code: A set of specialized skills that guide Claude through common cost analysis workflows. These skills encode best practices for investigating costs, ensuring consistent, high-quality analysis.
Key Capabilities
The plugin enables you to:
- Investigate cost spikes: Quickly identify what caused sudden cost increases by comparing against baselines and drilling down across dimensions
- Analyze trends: Understand spending patterns, growth rates, and forecast future costs
- Compare costs: Benchmark across time periods, environments, accounts, teams, or regions
- Deep dive into services: Get detailed breakdowns of specific cloud services with optimization recommendations
- Track tag coverage: Evaluate tagging quality and identify untagged resources affecting cost allocation
- Analyze custom dimensions: Use your organization's specific dimensions (teams, products, features) for business-aligned cost visibility
- Detect anomalies: Proactively identify unusual spending patterns that may indicate waste or issues
- Identify cost drivers: Rank and prioritize the biggest contributors to your cloud spending
