Listing Information

• License: Apache-2.0

• Support: support@pointfive.co · help.pointfive.co
• MCP server status: Production (generally available)
• Vendor: PointFive — https://www.pointfive.co

Overview

PointFive is a PointFive AI Efficiency OS that helps engineering and finance teams continuously identify, prioritize, and remediate waste across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. This Power connects Kiro to PointFive's production MCP server, exposing live cost-optimization opportunities, resource intelligence, anomaly signals, and commitment (Savings Plan / Reserved Instance) recommendations through natural-language conversation in your IDE.

Use it to answer questions like:

• "What are my top cost-optimization opportunities in AWS this month?"
• "Show me cost anomalies from the last 7 days, grouped by service."
• "Which Kubernetes workloads have the largest savings potential?"
• "Recommend a Savings Plan strategy for my current EC2 usage."

Permissions mirror your existing PointFive RBAC exactly — the Power can only see data your platform user is already authorized to access.

Access Requirements

Before installing this Power, confirm the following:

• Active PointFive platform account. All authentication (OAuth and API token) links to a real PointFive user. If you cannot sign in at app.pointfive.co, this Power will not connect.
• Required role / permissions. ADMIN and MEMBER roles can read all MCP-exposed data. Restricted roles see a filtered view scoped to the resources they are authorized for.
• Network access. Outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) from the Kiro host to mcp.pointfive.co. No inbound connection from PointFive is required.
• API token (recommended for Kiro): Generated from the PointFive Profile page under API Token.

Setup

1. Generate a PointFive API token

1. Sign in to PointFive at https://app.pointfive.co.
2. Open your Profile page → API Token section.
3. Click Generate token, give it a descriptive label (e.g. kiro-laptop), and select an expiry that matches your organization's security policy.
4. Copy the token immediately — it is shown once and cannot be retrieved again.

Tokens inherit the role and permissions of the user who created them. All MCP activity is attributed to that user in PointFive's audit logs.

2. Set the token as an environment variable

Set POINTFIVE_API_TOKEN in the environment Kiro launches with:

export POINTFIVE_API_TOKEN="<paste-token-here>"

Storing the token as an environment variable (rather than inlining it into mcp.json) keeps it out of process listings, shell history, and committed config files.

3. Install the Power

The Power's mcp.json is preconfigured to use the HTTP transport with the API token from the environment:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pointfive": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pointfive.co/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${POINTFIVE_API_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once installed, start a new Kiro chat and ask a question about your cloud spend to confirm the connection.

Available Tools

The PointFive MCP server exposes 14 tools across four domains. All tool access is governed by your PointFive RBAC.

Cost Optimization

Tool	Purpose
get_opportunities	Search and filter cost-optimization opportunities with advanced filtering and pagination
get_opportunity	Detailed information about a specific opportunity by ID
get_opportunities_aggregate	Aggregated savings data grouped by project, service, type, status, or time period
get_opportunity_groups	Opportunity groups by type, including remediation scripts

Cloud Resources

Tool	Purpose
get_resources	Search and filter cloud resources with cost, savings, and metadata filtering
get_resource_aggregations	Aggregated resource data grouped by service, project, or time interval
get_resource	Detailed information about a specific resource (attributes, costs, savings)
get_resource_connections	Connections and relationships for a specific resource
get_resource_opportunities	Cost-optimization opportunities for a specific resource, with priority and effort levels

Anomaly Detection

Tool	Purpose
list_anomalies	Search and filter cost anomalies
get_anomaly	Detailed anomaly information (cost impact, datapoints, rule details)
get_anomaly_contributors	Root-cause analysis and contributing factors for an anomaly

Commitment Management

Tool	Purpose
get_commitment_recommendations	Search Savings Plan / Reserved Instance recommendations
get_commitment_recommendation	Detailed commitment information (hourly usage data, payment options)

Example Workflows

Find this month's largest optimization wins

"List my top 10 PointFive opportunities by potential savings, grouped by service category."

Kiro will call get_opportunities_aggregate with the appropriate filters and return a ranked summary with remediation difficulty per group.

Investigate a spike in cloud spend

"Show me cost anomalies from the last 14 days for our production AWS account, and identify the top contributors for the biggest one."

Kiro will call list_anomalies to surface the spike, then get_anomaly_contributors to perform root-cause analysis.

Plan commitment purchases

"Recommend a Savings Plan strategy for our EC2 footprint. Show me hourly usage and payment options for the top recommendation."

Kiro will call get_commitment_recommendations and drill into the details with get_commitment_recommendation.

Triage a specific resource

"What are the optimization opportunities for resource i-0abc1234def567890, and how is it connected to other resources?"

Kiro will call get_resource, get_resource_opportunities, and get_resource_connections to give a complete picture.

Privacy and Security

• Conversations with Kiro remain private to you. PointFive can see which API endpoints are accessed by your MCP session but has no visibility into your prompts or chat history.
• Authentication uses standard Bearer tokens scoped to your PointFive user. Revoking a token from the API Tokens page in PointFive takes effect immediately.
• The MCP server enforces the same role-based access controls as the PointFive platform — no additional data exposure beyond your existing access rights.
• Network direction is outbound only: Kiro → mcp.pointfive.co. PointFive never initiates a connection to your environment.

Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized on the first call

• Confirm the token is pasted without surrounding quotes or whitespace.
• Verify the token has not been revoked or expired on the API Tokens page in PointFive.
• The header must be exactly Authorization: Bearer <token> — the Bearer prefix is required.
• Confirm that POINTFIVE_API_TOKEN is set in the process that launches Kiro, not just your interactive shell.

Empty results when querying opportunities or resources

• Verify that your PointFive account has data integrated for the cloud account in question.
• Check role-based access — restricted roles may have a filtered view that excludes the data you are asking about.
• Confirm the date range and filters in your query.

Connection timeout / no response

• Verify outbound HTTPS access from the Kiro host to mcp.pointfive.co.
• If you are behind a corporate proxy, ensure HTTPS traffic to *.pointfive.co is allowed.

For anything not resolved by the above, contact support@pointfive.co or open a ticket via the PointFive Help Center.
