Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
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
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Terraform Cloud User or Team API Token
- 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.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Terraform Cloud (HCP) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Terraform Cloud (HCP) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 42 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Terraform Cloud (HCP) in Cursor
Terraform Cloud (HCP) and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Terraform Cloud (HCP) to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Terraform Cloud (HCP) in Cursor
The Terraform Cloud (HCP) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 42 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Terraform Cloud (HCP) for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Terraform Cloud (HCP) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
