Terraform MCP Server — Registry Intelligence for AI-Assisted Infrastructure

At a glance: 1,300 stars, 136 forks, 323 commits, 35+ tools, v0.4.0. Official from HashiCorp.

Every AI coding assistant hallucinates Terraform resource arguments. This server fixes that by giving agents real-time access to the Terraform Registry — provider docs, module specs, Sentinel policies.

Key Tools

• Registry: Search providers/modules/policies, get full documentation with inputs/outputs/examples
• Workspace management: List/create/update workspaces, manage runs, variable sets, policy sets, tags, stacks
• Safety: Intentionally does NOT run terraform plan or terraform apply

What's Good

Real-time provider docs eliminate hallucinated arguments. Module discovery with full specs. Tool filtering via --toolsets. Dual transport (stdio + Streamable HTTP). Published security model. Available on AWS Marketplace and Docker MCP Catalog.

What's Not

No plan/apply (by design). Beta status, no release in 2 months. Terraform-only (no OpenTofu). Provider search bug returning wrong versions. No local state support.

Rating: 4/5

Definitive Terraform documentation server with smart safety-first design. Held back by beta status and ecosystem lock-in.
