Terraform MCP Server
The Terraform MCP Server is a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction)
server that integrates seamlessly with [Terraform Registry](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/registry/api-docs) and [HCP Terraform](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cloud-docs/api-docs) APIs, enabling advanced
automation and interaction capabilities for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) development.
