Short answer

How can I get my Pulumi stack outputs in chat?

Your agent uses the get_stack_outputs tool to fetch specific values like IP addresses or URLs directly from your Pulumi stacks. You just ask for the specific key you need, and the data appears in your chat. This breakdown shows how the data moves from your stack to your conversation.

The results.

Where the data lands.

The specific information you request ends up in these formats.

TEXT

Direct values

The agent pulls raw strings like connection URLs or IP addresses. You get the exact data needed for your next command.

JSON

Structured data

If you ask for all outputs, the agent retrieves the full object. This is useful for debugging or passing data to other tools.

CHAT

Contextual answers

The agent interprets the output to answer your questions. You get a plain English explanation of what the output represents.

HUMAN

Manual verification

You remain in control of the infrastructure. The agent only reads the outputs and cannot change your stack configuration.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for outputs.

The agent acts as a bridge between your Pulumi state and your chat interface.

  1. Identify the stack

    The agent looks up the specific Pulumi stack you mentioned in your prompt.

    get_stack_outputs

  2. Fetch the values

    The agent calls the tool to pull the requested keys from the Pulumi backend.

    get_stack_outputs

  3. Filter the data

    If you only asked for one specific URL, the agent ignores the rest of the stack data.

    get_stack_outputs

  4. Deliver the result

    The agent presents the connection string or IP address in your chat window.

    get_stack_outputs

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my Pulumi stack settings?

    No. This MCP only has the ability to read outputs. It cannot modify, delete, or create infrastructure.

  • 02

    Do I need to run Pulumi commands in my terminal?

    No. Once connected, you can get these values entirely through your AI client.

  • 03

    Can the AI see my entire Pulumi configuration?

    No. It only sees the specific outputs you ask for or the list of outputs provided by the stack.

  • 04

    What happens if a stack output is a secret?

    The agent can only retrieve outputs that are explicitly marked as visible or accessible via the tool.

  • 05

    Can I use this to update my infrastructure?

    No. This specific tool is for retrieving data, not for running updates or deployments.
