What you can do with Terraform Cloud

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Run, 7 operations

apply_runApply runPOSTApplies a planned Terraform run to execute infrastructure changes.
cancel_runCancel runPOSTGracefully cancels a running Terraform plan or apply operation.
create_runCreate runPOSTCreates a new Terraform plan/apply run in a workspace.
discard_runDiscard runPOSTDiscards a planned Terraform run without applying changes.
force_cancel_runForce cancel runPOSTImmediately force-cancels a Terraform run without graceful shutdown.
get_runGet runGETRetrieves details of a specific Terraform Cloud run.
list_runsList runsGETLists all runs in a Terraform Cloud workspace with pagination.

Terraform Cloud API rate limits

30 requests per second

Terraform Cloud uses JSON:API format. All requests should include Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json header.

These are the limits Terraform Cloud documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Terraform Cloud documentation for current values.

Use Terraform Cloud from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Terraform Cloud in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Terraform Cloud operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Terraform Cloud

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Terraform Cloud once
Add your Terraform Cloud connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
