What is the Temporal Terraform Orchestrator MCP Server?

This is an integration server specifically designed for AI assistants, allowing you to interact with the Terraform infrastructure orchestration system through natural language. You can directly tell an AI assistant (such as Claude, Cursor, etc.) to 'Deploy my VPC and EKS cluster', and the AI will automatically execute complex Terraform workflows through this server.

How to use the MCP server?

First, configure the MCP server in your AI assistant tool. Then, you can perform infrastructure operations through conversations. For example, you can ask 'What are the available workflows?' or directly command 'Execute the production environment deployment'. The server will handle all technical details, including dependency resolution, parallel execution, and status tracking.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for infrastructure management requiring AI assistance, team collaboration environments, rapid prototype development, and infrastructure engineers and development teams who want to reduce manual command-line operations. Particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent deployment and updates in multi-cloud environments.

Main features

AI natural language interaction

Supports controlling complex infrastructure deployments through natural language instructions without memorizing complex command-line parameters

Intelligent dependency resolution

Automatically analyzes the dependencies between workspaces to ensure execution in the correct order (e.g., create the VPC first, then create the subnets)

Automatic output passing

Automatically passes the output of upstream workspaces (such as the VPC ID) to downstream workspaces as input variables

Parallel execution optimization

Intelligently identifies independent workspaces that can be executed in parallel, significantly reducing the overall deployment time

Real-time status monitoring

Provides real-time queries of workflow execution status, allowing you to keep track of the deployment progress and results at any time

Fault tolerance and retry mechanism

Based on Temporal's reliable execution engine, automatically handles failures and retries to ensure the final consistency of the deployment

Advantages

Lower technical threshold: Non-technical users can manage infrastructure through natural language

Improve efficiency: Automated dependency management and parallel execution reduce manual coordination work

Reduce errors: Automated output passing avoids manual copy-paste errors

Enhance collaboration: AI assistants can serve as a unified operation interface for the team

Traceability: All operations have complete execution histories and status records

Limitations

Requires a Temporal server: The Temporal workflow engine must be running

Learning curve: You need to understand how to configure workspace dependencies

AI assistant dependency: The functionality depends on the integrated AI assistant tool supporting the MCP protocol

Configuration complexity: Complex infrastructure dependencies require careful planning

How to use

Installation and configuration

First, ensure that Go 1.23+ and the Temporal server are installed. Clone the project repository and install the dependencies.

Start the Temporal server

Start the Temporal server in the local development environment. This is the basic engine for workflow execution.

Start the workflow worker

Start the workflow executor, which will listen to the task queue and execute Terraform operations.

Configure AI assistant integration

Add the MCP server configuration to your AI assistant tool (such as Cursor, Claude Desktop).

Define infrastructure configuration

Create an infra.yaml file to define your workspaces, dependencies, and variable mappings.

Execute through the AI assistant

Now you can directly execute deployment commands through the AI assistant, such as 'Deploy my infrastructure'.

Usage examples

Example 1: New team member deploys the development environment

A new developer joining the team needs to quickly set up a complete development environment, including a VPC, subnets, an EKS cluster, and a database.

Example 2: Blue-green deployment in the production environment

You need to safely update the infrastructure in the production environment, using the blue-green deployment strategy to minimize downtime.

Example 3: Multi-region disaster recovery setup

Set up disaster recovery infrastructure across multiple AWS regions for critical business systems.
