## About Terraform MCP Server
HashiCorp's Terraform MCP Server integrates the public Terraform Registry, for providers, modules and policies, with HCP Terraform and Terraform Enterprise APIs, supporting workspace management, variables, tags, runs and private registry access. It runs over stdio or streamable HTTP and exposes OpenTelemetry metrics for tool usage.
