Terraform MCP Server
Plan, apply, and manage infrastructure as code directly from your AI agent using the Terraform MCP server integration.
Claude Code Cursor
Overview
The Terraform MCP Server from HashiCorp brings infrastructure-as-code management directly into your AI agent workflow. You can plan, apply, and inspect Terraform resources without leaving your coding environment, making infrastructure changes as seamless as editing application code.
Through the Model Context Protocol, the server exposes Terraform operations to your AI agent. The agent can read your existing infrastructure state, suggest resource configurations, generate HCL code for new services, run `terraform plan` to preview changes, and even apply them after your review. This eliminates the context switching between your editor and the Terraform CLI.
The integration is especially powerful for teams practicing GitOps. Your AI agent can generate Terraform modules, validate configurations against best practices, and help troubleshoot state drift or apply errors with full context about your infrastructure.
