These docs are available via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Use this integration to find relevant guides, setup steps, and implementation details directly from your AI assistant with links back to the docs. Some ways you can use the Vantage Docs MCP include:
  • Find setup steps (e.g., connecting AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Locate VQL examples for common questions
  • Understand feature behavior (alerts, dashboards, forecasting, etc.)
  • Pull exact page links to share in Slack, tickets, or PRs
You can use the Vantage Docs MCP along with the Vantage MCP to query your costs and see how to create monitoring resources, like alerts and reports. See the Use Case section for a sample workflow.

Use Case - Discover Anomalies and Set Up Monitoring

You’re investigating recent cost issues and want to set up proper monitoring to prevent future surprises.
1

Discover anomalies using the Vantage MCP

Ask your AI tool (connected to both MCP servers):
Check for any cost anomalies in our AWS costs from the last 30 days, particularly focusing on services that had unusual spending patterns.
Your assistant uses the Vantage MCP’s list-anomalies tool and finds several anomalies in EC2 and S3 services.
2

Research setup steps using the Vantage Docs MCP

Now ask for the setup documentation:
Search the Vantage docs for how to configure cost anomaly alerts and set up Jira integration for automatic issue creation when anomalies are detected.
Your assistant uses the Vantage Docs MCP search tool and finds:
  • Cost anomaly alerts configuration steps
  • Jira integration setup process
  • Alert threshold configuration options
3

Set up monitoring and automation in Vantage

Based on the provided guidance, you can now:
  • Configure anomaly alerts with appropriate thresholds
  • Set up Jira integration to automatically create tickets
  • Create dashboards to monitor the affected services
  • Set up Slack notifications for immediate awareness
