How to Set Up and Use Vantage
The Vantage MCP Server connects AI clients to your Vantage cloud cost management account, allowing you to query cloud spending, analyse cost trends, and explore usage data across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other providers through natural language. It exposes tools for listing Vantage resources, drilling into cost breakdowns, and surfacing optimisation opportunities — all without leaving your AI coding environment. FinOps practitioners and engineering teams use it to quickly answer cost questions during development without switching to the Vantage web dashboard.
Prerequisites
- Node.js v18 or later
- An active Vantage account at vantage.sh with at least one cloud provider connected
- A Vantage API token (generated in Vantage account settings under API Access Tokens)
- An MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Goose
Obtain your Vantage API token
Log into app.vantage.sh, navigate to Account → API Access Tokens, and create a new read-only token. Copy the token value — it will only be shown once.
Run the server with npx (no install required)
The quickest way to use the server is with npx, which downloads and runs the package without a permanent installation.

Example prompts for querying cloud costs through the Vantage MCP server.
- "What were my total AWS costs last month, broken down by service?"
- "Which EC2 instances are driving the most spend in my production account?"
- "Show me my cloud cost trend over the past 6 months"
- "Which cloud resources have the highest month-over-month cost increase?"Troubleshooting Vantage
Server starts but returns 'unauthorized' errors for all tool calls
Your VANTAGE_TOKEN may be invalid or expired. Regenerate a token in app.vantage.sh under Account → API Access Tokens and update the env value in your MCP client config.
Cost data appears empty or incomplete
Vantage requires at least one cloud provider to be connected and its cost data to be imported. Log into app.vantage.sh and confirm your AWS, Azure, or GCP integration is active and showing data in the dashboard.
npx command fails with ENOENT or version errors
Ensure Node.js v18 or later is installed. Run 'node --version' to check. If you have an older version, upgrade via nvm: 'nvm install 18 && nvm use 18'.
