Hosting

Local stdio or remote Streamable HTTP deployment

Transport

stdio (default); streamableHTTP

Endpoint

Local process; no hosted endpoint documented

Authentication

No token is required for public Terraform Registry tools. HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise features require a TFE_TOKEN; Terraform Enterprise may also require TFE_ADDRESS/TFE_HOSTNAME depending on the documented deployment setup.

Requirements

• Docker Engine 20.10.21+ or Docker Desktop 4.14.0+ for the recommended Docker setup
• An MCP-compatible client
• An HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise API token only for those private/organization features

Setup steps

1. For public Registry lookup, configure Docker to run -i --rm hashicorp/terraform-mcp-server; no token is needed.
2. For HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise, provide a locally stored least-privilege TFE_TOKEN and the appropriate address/hostname.
3. Keep ENABLE_TF_OPERATIONS false unless you deliberately need the write/destructive operations; then reload the client and inspect the available tools.

Names match HashiCorp’s reference. Availability depends on enabled toolsets and credentials; private-registry and Terraform operations require a valid TFE_TOKEN, and operational tools require ENABLE_TF_OPERATIONS=true.
