Terraform via MCP in Cursor

The author used Cursor with the tfmcp MCP server to run terraform init, plan and apply, provisioning a Postgres database, schema and app role locally.

Provisioning worked after two fixes. The MCP hid the real errors, so apply ran through Cursor's Run tool, which suggested the fix.

Overview

How it was set up

Cursor agent mode with the tfmcp MCP server, configured in mcp.json with the Terraform directory and PATH. Terraform code used the cyrilgdn/postgresql provider.

Worth knowing

The MCP did not surface Terraform errors or confirm apply success. The author calls MCP workflows very early and flags security risks of adding MCPs.
