What is Infrastructure Archaeology MCP?

Infrastructure Archaeology MCP is an intelligent assistant tool specifically designed to track and manage the creation history of AWS cloud infrastructure. It's like the 'Git blame' function for cloud resources, capable of quickly answering questions like 'Who created this resource?', 'When was it created?', 'How was it created?'

How to use Infrastructure Archaeology MCP?

Through the Claude Desktop integration, you can directly ask the AI assistant questions about AWS resources. The tool will automatically query CloudTrail logs and AWS APIs and return detailed creation history information within 5 seconds, including the creator, timestamp, creation method, and relevant cost data.

Use cases

Suitable for cloud operations teams, cost optimization experts, security auditors, and development teams. It's particularly useful in scenarios such as resource cleanup, cost auditing, security compliance checks, troubleshooting, and team collaboration.

Main Features

Fast Resource Tracking
Find the creator information of any AWS resource (EC2, RDS, S3) within 5 seconds, including creation time, method, and user identity.
CloudTrail Intelligent Association
Automatically associate CloudTrail event logs and work even without complete audit logs.
Multi-Resource Type Support
Support multiple AWS resource types such as EC2 instances, RDS databases, and S3 buckets.
Cost Context
Provide cost information related to resources to help identify waste and optimization opportunities.
Creation Method Identification
Identify whether the resource was created through the AWS console, Terraform, CLI, or other methods.
Advantages
Significantly reduce investigation time: from 2 hours to 5 seconds.
Significantly reduce cost waste: help eliminate 32% of cloud resource waste.
Improve team efficiency: reduce developers' time consumption by 26%.
No additional configuration required: seamlessly integrate with the existing AWS environment.
User-friendly: interact with the AI assistant through natural language.
Limitations
AWS CloudTrail needs to be enabled (recommended but not mandatory).
Currently only support EC2, RDS, and S3 resource types.
Appropriate IAM permission configuration is required.
Historical data depends on the retention period of CloudTrail.
The functions of version v0.1 are relatively basic.

How to Use

Environment Preparation
Ensure that Python 3.10+ is installed and AWS credentials are configured.
Install the Tool
Clone the repository and install the dependencies.
Configure Claude Desktop
Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file and add the MCP server configuration.
Restart and Start Using
Restart the Claude Desktop application, and then you can ask questions through the chat interface.

Usage Examples

Cost Optimization Audit
The finance team notices an abnormal increase in cloud costs and needs to find out which resources are idle or unclaimed.
Security Compliance Check
The security team needs to audit all changes in the production environment to ensure compliance with regulations.
Troubleshooting
The system has performance issues, and it's necessary to quickly understand the recent infrastructure changes.
Team Collaboration Optimization
A new team member takes over a project and needs to know the person in charge of the existing infrastructure.
