Quick Start

Section titled “Quick Start”

Get Xplorr connected to your cloud accounts and start querying costs with AI in a few steps.

  1. Create an Xplorr account

    Sign up at xplorr.io. No credit card required.

  2. Connect a cloud account

    From the Xplorr dashboard, go to Settings → Cloud Accounts and click Add Account. Xplorr supports:

    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
    • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
    • Microsoft Azure

    Follow the guided setup to grant read-only cost access.

  3. Generate an API token

    Go to Settings → API Tokens and click Create Token. Copy the token — it starts with xplorr_.

  4. Connect Claude via MCP

    Add the Xplorr hosted MCP to your Claude Desktop config:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "xplorr": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/inspector"],
          "url": "https://mcp.xplorr.io/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer xplorr_your_token_here"
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Replace xplorr_your_token_here with your actual token, then restart Claude Desktop.

  5. Ask Claude about your costs

    Open Claude and try:

    “What are my top 10 most expensive AWS services this month?”

    “Show me the cost trend for the last 90 days.”

    “Which EC2 instances are idle?”
