Terraform MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Terraform, the tool many teams use to set up and manage cloud infrastructure. Once it is connected, you can ask for a plan, review what will change, and apply it without switching to a terminal. It is handy for anyone who runs Terraform but does not want to memorise every command.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like "plan the changes in my staging folder and explain them". The AI passes that request to this helper, which runs the real terraform command on your machine. The helper reads the result, adds a short summary with counts and cost warnings, and hands it back. Your AI then explains it to you in plain words. For anything that changes or deletes infrastructure, the helper asks for a second confirmation before it acts.

What you can do with it

• Run a plan and see what would be created, changed or destroyed
• Apply changes only after you confirm the plan
• Destroy infrastructure with a two-step safety check
• Read outputs and list what is in your state file
• Detect resources that were changed outside Terraform
• Import existing cloud resources into Terraform state
• Flag expensive always-on resources with rough monthly costs

Try asking your AI

• “Plan the changes in my staging folder and explain what will change”
• “Apply it, but only if nothing will be destroyed”
• “Show me all the outputs from the prod workspace”
• “Did anyone change anything outside Terraform in the prod workspace?”

What it gives back to you

You get back a readable summary in the chat: how many resources would be created, updated or destroyed, which ones are destructive, and warnings about costly resources with rough monthly prices. For outputs or state listings you get a simple list of names and values. When it changes something, it tells you what it did. If a plan fails, it can walk through a step-by-step diagnosis.

Before you start

Who it's for

People who already use Terraform for cloud infrastructure and want to run plans, applies and checks by talking instead of typing commands.
