We’re all hearing a lot about the potential of AI, but what does it actually take to get hands-on with AI on your FinOps data? In this session, we’ll break down two key prerequisites you need to get started:

  1. Data APIs: Learn how to evaluate FinOps tool APIs, identify common pitfalls, and avoid critical gaps that could hinder your AI integration efforts.
  2. MCP Servers: Discover the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, emerging as the standard to seamlessly bridge AI tools with your APIs.

Additionally, hear firsthand from Youssef Ibrahim, Head of Infrastructure Cost Efficiency at Block, on how his team successfully integrated cost data from the Vantage API with AI using MCP servers. You’ll leave this session with actionable insights on connecting AI to your FinOps environment, unlocking new productivity and value.
