Terraform Cloud (HCP)

What is the Terraform Cloud (HCP) MCP Server?

Connect your Terraform Cloud (HCP) account to any AI agent to orchestrate your Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows through natural language. This server provides comprehensive access to the HCP Terraform API, allowing for seamless management of the entire infrastructure lifecycle.

What you can do

  • Organization & Project Management — List, create, and inspect organizations and projects to maintain high-level governance.
  • Workspace Operations — Query workspaces, manage locks, and configure VCS integrations for automated deployments.
  • Run & Plan Lifecycle — Trigger new runs, apply or discard plans, and monitor the progress of infrastructure changes in real-time.
  • State & Outputs — Retrieve current state versions and extract specific output values to use in downstream automation or analysis.
  • Governance & Security — Manage teams, access controls, variable sets, and Sentinel/OPA policies directly via the agent.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Terraform Cloud User or Team API Token
  3. Start managing your cloud environments from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • DevOps & Platform Engineers — automate routine workspace management and run monitoring without leaving the terminal or chat.
  • Cloud Architects — quickly inspect state outputs and policy compliance across multiple organizations.
  • SRE Teams — troubleshoot failed runs and manage workspace locks during incident response.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can I trigger a new infrastructure deployment (run) using this server?

Yes. You can use the create_run tool by providing the Workspace ID. You can also subsequently use apply_run or discard_run to manage the lifecycle of that specific execution.

02

How do I see the output variables from my last successful Terraform apply?

Use the get_state_version_outputs tool with the Workspace ID. It will retrieve all calculated outputs from the current state, such as IP addresses, DNS names, or resource IDs.

03

Is it possible to list all workspaces across my organization?

Absolutely. Use the list_workspaces tool and provide your organization name. You can also filter the results by name or tags using optional parameters.

04

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

05

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

06

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

07

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

08

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.

09

Server not appearing after restart

Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).

10

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

11

Tools not showing in chat

Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
