terraform

Manage infrastructure as code by executing Terraform commands such as init, plan, apply, and destroy through the Ansible MCP Server for streamlined operations and automation.

Instructions

Implementation Reference

  • The primary handler function terraformOperations that constructs and executes Terraform CLI commands based on input options, including support for LocalStack via tflocal.
    export async function terraformOperations(options: TerraformOptions): Promise<string> { const { action, workingDir, varFiles, vars, useLocalstack, autoApprove, backendConfig, state, target, lockTimeout, refresh, workspace } = options; // Determine if we should use terraform or tflocal command const terraformCmd = useLocalstack ? 'tflocal' : 'terraform'; // If using tflocal, verify it's installed if (useLocalstack) { await verifyTflocalInstalled(); } else { // Otherwise, verify terraform is installed await verifyTerraformInstalled(); } // Base command with terraform/tflocal and action let command = `cd "${workingDir}" && ${terraformCmd} ${action}`; // Add var files if specified if (varFiles && varFiles.length > 0) { command += ' ' + varFiles.map(file => `-var-file="${file}"`).join(' '); } // Add vars if specified if (vars && Object.keys(vars).length > 0) { command += ' ' + formatCommandParams(vars, '-var'); } // Add backend config if specified if (backendConfig && Object.keys(backendConfig).length > 0) { command += ' ' + formatCommandParams(backendConfig, '-backend-config'); } // Add specific parameters based on action switch (action) { case 'init': // No special options needed here break; case 'apply': case 'destroy': // Add auto-approve if specified if (autoApprove) { command += ' -auto-approve'; } // Add refresh option if (refresh !== undefined) { command += ` -refresh=${refresh ? 'true' : 'false'}`; } // Add state file if specified if (state) { command += ` -state="${state}"`; } // Add targets if specified if (target && target.length > 0) { command += ' ' + target.map(t => `-target="${t}"`).join(' '); } // Add lock timeout if specified if (lockTimeout) { command += ` -lock-timeout=${lockTimeout}`; } break; case 'plan': // Add refresh option if (refresh !== undefined) { command += ` -refresh=${refresh ? 'true' : 'false'}`; } // Add state file if specified if (state) { command += ` -state="${state}"`; } // Add targets if specified if (target && target.length > 0) { command += ' ' + target.map(t => `-target="${t}"`).join(' '); } // Add lock timeout if specified if (lockTimeout) { command += ` -lock-timeout=${lockTimeout}`; } break; case 'workspace': // Add workspace name if specified if (workspace) { command += ` select ${workspace}`; } else { command += ' list'; // Default to listing workspaces if no name is provided } break; // For other actions (validate, output, import), no special handling needed } // For debug purposes console.log(`Executing Terraform command: ${command}`); try { // Execute the command const { stdout, stderr } = await execAsync(command); // Adjust output based on action switch (action) { case 'output': // Try to parse JSON output try { const outputJson = JSON.parse(stdout); return JSON.stringify(outputJson, null, 2); } catch (error) { // If not JSON, return as is return stdout; } default: return stdout || `Terraform ${action} completed successfully (no output).`; } } catch (error: any) { const errorMessage = error.stderr || error.message || 'Unknown error'; throw new AnsibleExecutionError(`Terraform execution failed for ${action}: ${errorMessage}`, error.stderr); } }
  • Zod schema TerraformSchema defining the input validation for the terraform tool, including action enum and various Terraform-specific options.
    export const TerraformSchema = z.object({ action: TerraformActionEnum, workingDir: z.string().min(1, 'Working directory is required'), varFiles: z.array(z.string()).optional(), vars: z.record(z.any()).optional(), autoApprove: z.boolean().optional().default(false), useLocalstack: z.boolean().optional().default(false), backendConfig: z.record(z.string()).optional(), state: z.string().optional(), target: z.array(z.string()).optional(), lockTimeout: z.string().optional(), refresh: z.boolean().optional().default(true), workspace: z.string().optional() }); export type TerraformOptions = z.infer<typeof TerraformSchema>;
  • Tool registration in the toolDefinitions map, linking the name 'terraform' to its description, schema, and handler function.
    terraform: { description: 'Execute Terraform commands (init, plan, apply, destroy, validate, output, etc.)', schema: terraform.TerraformSchema, handler: terraform.terraformOperations, },
  • Helper function verifyTerraformInstalled used by the handler to ensure Terraform is available before execution.
    export async function verifyTerraformInstalled(): Promise<void> { const isInstalled = await checkTerraformInstalled(); if (!isInstalled) { throw new TerraformNotInstalledError(); } }
  • Internal helper formatCommandParams used within the handler to format -var and other Terraform CLI parameters from input objects.
    function formatCommandParams(params: Record<string, any> | undefined, prefix: string): string { if (!params || Object.keys(params).length === 0) { return ''; } return Object.entries(params) .map(([key, value]) => { if (typeof value === 'string') { // For string values, wrap in quotes return `${prefix} ${key}="${value}"`; } else if (typeof value === 'object') { // For objects/arrays, convert to JSON and wrap in quotes return `${prefix} ${key}='${JSON.stringify(value)}'`; } else { // For numbers, booleans, etc. return `${prefix} ${key}=${value}`; } }) .join(' '); }
