kion

Overview

The kion MCP server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants and agents to interact directly with Kion, a cloud governance and financial management platform. It allows AI-driven workflows to inspect cloud accounts, policies, budgets, and compliance posture — bringing governance and cost context directly into AI-assisted operations and decision-making.

This server is especially useful for platform teams, FinOps, security, and leadership workflows where visibility into cloud usage, spend, and policy enforcement is critical.

Key Capabilities

• Cloud governance visibility — Understand how accounts, projects, and resources are governed across environments.
• Cost and budget insight — Surface spend, allocation, and budget context for AI-assisted decision-making.
• Policy awareness — Inspect controls, enforcement state, and governance configuration programmatically.
• Cross-cloud context — Reason about governance and cost across multiple cloud providers from a single interface.
• Operational decision support — Enable AI assistants to answer questions like “who owns this account?” or “is this compliant?”

How It Works

The kion MCP server runs as an MCP service and connects to Kion using authenticated, scoped credentials. AI clients communicate with the server over the MCP protocol to request governance, cost, or organizational context as part of broader reasoning workflows.

The server mediates access to Kion’s APIs, handling authentication and response normalization before returning structured results that AI assistants can reason over directly. All access respects Kion’s permission model, ensuring that assistants only see data they are authorized to view.

By exposing Kion through MCP, the server allows AI-driven workflows to incorporate governance and financial context alongside infrastructure, deployment, and observability data — enabling more informed recommendations, safer automation, and better cloud decision-making inside a single AI environment.
