What can Terraform MCP do?
Lets AI agents directly write and execute Terraform configurations: manage state files, view and create execution plans, preview resource changes, and read Terraform configurations and outputs. Making infrastructure management smarter and more efficient.
Does Terraform MCP require Terraform to be installed?
Yes, you need Terraform CLI installed locally. The MCP server executes operations by calling the local terraform command, so you'll need Terraform installed and cloud provider credentials configured.
Is Terraform MCP free?
Completely free and open source (BUSL license), officially maintained by HashiCorp. The MCP server itself is free, but managing cloud resources with Terraform will incur charges from your cloud provider based on resource usage.
