GCP Billing

This MCP server connects to Google Cloud to provide context and tools for interacting with your Google Cloud resources. It enables you to query billing, logs, and monitoring data using natural language or prompts, making it easier to manage and optimise your Google Cloud usage from a single interface.

How to use

You interact with Google Cloud services through your MCP client by asking natural language questions or giving prompts. You can explore billing accounts and project costs, query logs, and retrieve metrics from Monitor­ing. Use clear prompts like: “Show my current billing costs for project my-webapp-prod-123,” “List logs for project my-app-prod-123 from the last hour,” or “Display CPU utilisation for Compute Engine in project infrastructure-456.” The MCP server translates your prompts into the appropriate Google Cloud API calls and returns interpreted results.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and pnpm installed on your system. Ensure you have access to Google Cloud with a service account key or appropriate credentials.

Step 1: Clone the MCP server repository.

Step 2: Install dependencies.

Step 3: Build the project.
