Costory
Dashboards got cheap. Context didn't. Ask Claude "why did our AWS bill go up last week?" without Costory and you get 15 plausible answers. Ask it through Costory's MCP endpoint and you get one: the deploy, the team, the service, the baseline. That is the difference between a pipe to billing data and a context layer. Costory is the operator layer that normalizes spend across AWS, GCP, Azure, Datadog, OpenAI, and Anthropic, allocates it to teams, correlates it with deploys and incidents, and exposes it to your AI assistants and the tools your team already uses.
