Terraform Cloud MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates AI assistants with the Terraform Cloud API, allowing you to manage your infrastructure through natural conversation. Built with Pydantic models and structured around domain-specific modules, this server is compatible with any MCP-supporting platform including Claude, Claude Code CLI, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot Studio, and others.


Features

  • Account Management: Get account details for authenticated users or service accounts.
  • Workspace Management: Create, read, update, delete, lock/unlock workspaces.
  • Project Management: Create, list, update, and delete projects; manage project tag bindings and move workspaces between projects.
  • Run Management: Create runs, list runs, get run details, apply/discard/cancel runs.
  • Plan Management: Retrieve plan details and JSON execution output with advanced HTTP redirect handling.
  • Apply Management: Get apply details and recover from failed state uploads.
  • Organization Management: List, create, update, delete organizations, and view organization entitlements.
  • Future Features: Variables management, state versions, and more.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.12+
  • MCP (includes FastMCP and development tools)
  • uv package manager (recommended) or pip
  • Terraform Cloud API token

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/severity1/terraform-cloud-mcp.git cd terraform-cloud-mcp # Create virtual environment and activate it uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # Install package uv pip install .

Adding to Claude Environments

Adding to Claude Code CLI
# Add to Claude Code with your Terraform Cloud token claude mcp add -e TFC_TOKEN=YOUR_TF_TOKEN -s user terraform-cloud-mcp -- "terraform-cloud-mcp"
Adding to Claude Desktop

Create a claude_desktop_config.json configuration file:

  • mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • win: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers": { "terraform-cloud-mcp": { "command": "/path/to/uv", # Get this by running: `which uv` "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/your/terraform-cloud-mcp", # Full path to this project "run", "terraform-cloud-mcp" ], "env": { "TFC_TOKEN": "my token..." # replace with actual token } } } }

Replace your_terraform_cloud_token with your actual Terraform Cloud API token.

Other MCP-Compatible Platforms

For other platforms (like Cursor, Copilot Studio, or Glama), follow their platform-specific instructions for adding an MCP server. Most platforms require:

  1. The server path or command to start the server.
  2. Environment variables for the Terraform Cloud API token.
  3. Configuration to auto-start the server when needed.

Troubleshooting

  1. Check server logs (debug logging is enabled by default)
  2. Use the MCP Inspector (http://localhost:5173) for debugging
  3. Debug logging is already enabled in server.py:
    import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
