# Cloud FinOps — canonical upstream pointer
This registry entry intentionally does not vendor the Cloud FinOps guidance. The
skill is maintained and refreshed by OptimNow, so a copied snapshot can become
stale while still appearing under the author's name.
Use the canonical upstream distribution instead:
## Claude Code
Run these commands at the Claude Code prompt:
```text
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills.git
/plugin install cloud-finops@optimnow
```
Update an existing installation with:
```text
/plugin update cloud-finops@optimnow
```
## Other agent clients
Follow the current upstream instructions:
- Repository: <https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills>
- Installation guide: <https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md>
- Latest release archive: <https://github.com/OptimNow/cloud-finops-skills/releases/latest>
## Hosted MCP
For clients that support remote MCP servers, OptimNow currently documents:
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http cloud-finops https://cloud-finops-skills-590a051d.alpic.live/mcp
```
Check the upstream installation guide before using the endpoint because hosted
service URLs and client-specific setup can change.
Do not answer substantive FinOps questions from this pointer. Install or load the
canonical skill first so the response uses OptimNow's maintained references and
playbooks.
