Our reading of Terraform, from the data

Terraform is a devops & ci/cd MCP server.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio.

Install Terraform MCP server

claude mcp add terraform-mcp-server -- npx -y terraform-mcp-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terraform-mcp-server": {

      "args": [
        "-y",
        "terraform-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terraform-mcp-server": {

        "terraform-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
