Supercharge Your Terraform Development with AI-Powered Registry Integration

Stop context-switching between your IDE and the Terraform Registry. The Terraform MCP Server by HashiCorp transforms how you discover providers, modules, and documentation by bringing the entire Terraform ecosystem directly into your AI-assisted development workflow.

The Infrastructure Developer's Productivity Bottleneck

Every Terraform developer knows the frustration: you're deep in code, need to find the right provider resource or module, and suddenly you're juggling browser tabs, searching through documentation, and losing your flow state. What if your AI assistant could instantly access the entire Terraform Registry for you?

Meet Your New IaC Workflow Accelerator

The Terraform MCP Server bridges your development environment with the Terraform Registry through the Model Context Protocol, enabling your AI assistants (VS Code Copilot, Claude Desktop) to:

🔍 Intelligent Provider Discovery

• Query the Terraform Registry directly from your chat interface
• Get instant access to provider documentation for resources, data sources, and functions
• Resolve provider document IDs and fetch complete markdown documentation on-demand

📦 Smart Module Search & Analysis

• Search thousands of verified modules with natural language queries
• Retrieve detailed module documentation including inputs, outputs, and examples
• Access download counts, verification status, and publish dates to make informed decisions

⚡ Zero-Friction Integration

• Works seamlessly with VS Code Copilot and Claude Desktop
• Simple Docker-based deployment - no complex setup required
• Containerized execution ensures consistent environment across your team

Real-World Developer Scenarios

Scenario 1: Building Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Instead of manually browsing provider documentation, ask your AI: "Show me the available resources for the AWS provider and get me the documentation for creating an EKS cluster." The MCP server instantly retrieves and presents the exact resource documentation you need.

Scenario 2: Module Discovery for Networking Query: "Find highly-rated VPC modules for AWS with recent updates." Get back a curated list with download statistics, verification status, and detailed configuration examples - all without leaving your IDE.

Scenario 3: Resource Configuration Assistance Working with an unfamiliar provider? Your AI can now fetch real-time documentation for any resource type, complete with argument references and usage examples, directly in your development context.

Developer-First Architecture

Built in Go with enterprise-grade reliability, the server exposes four powerful tools through the MCP protocol:

• resolveProviderDocID - Lightning-fast provider documentation discovery
• getProviderDocs - Complete markdown documentation retrieval
• searchModules - Advanced module search with pagination
• moduleDetails - Deep-dive module analysis with configuration examples
