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.
The Docs MCP is also able to answer questions about the Vantage Terraform provider.
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
  • Ask how to create a Terraform resource for Vantage features, like Cost Reports or Anomaly Alerts
  • 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

​
Use Case - Troubleshooting Terraform Syntax

You encounter a Terraform syntax error and ask your AI tool (connected to the Vantage Docs MCP) how to fix the issue.
1

Fix Terraform syntax error using the Vantage Docs MCP

I am getting some issues with the below Terraform code: 
resource "vantage_dashboard" "multi_cloud_monitoring" {
  title           = "AWS & Azure Cost Monitoring Dashboard"
  workspace_token = var.workspace_token

  # Multi-Cloud Overview Widget
  widgets {
    widgetable_token = vantage_cost_report.multi_cloud.token
    title            = "Multi-Cloud Overview"
  }
}
The following error is returned: 
│ Error: Unsupported block type
│
│   on main.tf line 257, in resource "vantage_dashboard" "multi_cloud_monitoring":
│ 257:   widgets {
│
│ Blocks of type "widgets" are not expected here. Did you mean to
│ define argument "widgets"? If so, use the equals sign to assign
│ it a value.
Your AI assistant uses the Vantage Docs MCP to find the correct syntax and provides the fix:
The issue is with the syntax for the widgets block. In the Vantage Terraform provider, widgets should be defined as an argument (using =) with a list of objects, not as a block (using ).Here’s the corrected code:
resource "vantage_dashboard" "multi_cloud_monitoring" {
  title           = "AWS & Azure Cost Monitoring Dashboard"
  workspace_token = var.workspace_token

  # Multi-Cloud Overview Widget
  widgets = [
    {
      widgetable_token = vantage_cost_report.multi_cloud.token
      title            = "Multi-Cloud Overview"
    }
  ]
}
Key changes:
  • Changed widgets { to widgets = [
  • Wrapped the widget configuration in { } as an object
  • Enclosed it in [ ] to make it a list (since you can have multiple widgets)
  • Closed with ] instead of }
If you want to add more widgets to the dashboard, you can simply add more objects to the list:
widgets = [
  {
    widgetable_token = vantage_cost_report.multi_cloud.token
    title            = "Multi-Cloud Overview"
  },
  {
    widgetable_token = vantage_cost_report.aws_services.token
    title            = "AWS Services Breakdown"
  }
]
This syntax follows the Terraform convention where repeatable nested structures are defined as lists of objects when using the = assignment syntax.
2

Deploy and validate

With the syntax error fixed, you can now deploy your Terraform configuration:
# Initialize and validate
terraform init
terraform validate

# Plan the deployment
terraform plan

# Apply the configuration
terraform apply
The dashboard will now deploy successfully with the correct widgets syntax, and you’ll have a multi-cloud monitoring dashboard in your Vantage console.
