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.

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
