How do I install Cloudforge?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Cloudforge need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN.

What transport does Cloudforge use?

Cloudforge runs locally over stdio.

When was Cloudforge last checked?

Last checked 2026-11-09. Visualise diagrams, generate Terraform HCL, and manage Azure/AWS/GCP infrastructure with AI.

FAQ

Questions

CloudForge MCP Server

MCP server for CloudForge — lets Claude and other AI assistants visualise cloud architecture diagrams, generate Terraform HCL, import existing IaC, and manage your infrastructure resources directly from chat.

Tools

Visualisation

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_diagram_to_mermaid`	Fetch a saved diagram and render it as an inline Mermaid flowchart
`cloudforge_architecture_summary`	Structured summary: resource counts by category, central components, inline diagram
`cloudforge_mermaid_from_json`	Convert raw diagram JSON to Mermaid without fetching from the server

Terraform

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_generate_terraform`	Generate Terraform HCL from a natural-language architecture description
`cloudforge_export_terraform_from_diagram`	Export Terraform HCL from an existing saved diagram in one step
`cloudforge_parse_terraform`	Turn raw HCL into a diagram structure — deterministic, no AI, and no account needed
`cloudforge_export_terraform`	Export a saved diagram's Terraform as it stands, without regenerating
`cloudforge_import_terraform`	Parse existing HCL → diagram structure + Mermaid preview

AI Architect

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_chat`	Ask the CloudForge AI Architect for IaC advice, cost estimates, security reviews
`cloudforge_suggest_resources`	Get AI-recommended resources and connections for a described use case

Mold Library

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_list_molds`	Browse 90 curated architecture templates (30 per cloud) — filter by provider, category, or search
`cloudforge_get_mold`	Full detail for one Mold: layout, "why this shape" best practices, inline Mermaid preview, forge link

Diagram Management

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_list_diagrams`	List saved diagrams with metadata
`cloudforge_recent_diagrams`	Get recently accessed/modified diagrams
`cloudforge_get_diagram`	Fetch a diagram by ID (full JSON)
`cloudforge_save_diagram`	Save or update a diagram
`cloudforge_delete_diagram`	Permanently delete a diagram

Organisation

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_org_details`	Organisation overview: name, plan, member count, MFA policy, custom assistant name

`cloudforge_invite_member`	Send an organisation invitation
`cloudforge_list_invitations`	List pending invitations
`cloudforge_cancel_invitation`	Cancel a pending invitation

Pricing

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_get_pricing`	Get CloudForge's current plans & pricing (Free, Pro, Team, Business), incl. the 14-day free trial — fetched live

Deploy

Real infrastructure changes. apply and destroy stop at a human approval gate and change nothing until cloudforge_approve_deployment is called, so an agent cannot deploy on its own.

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_plan`	Run `terraform plan` — add/change/destroy diff plus the security quality gate. Read-only
`cloudforge_dry_run`	Validate and plan without touching a cloud account
`cloudforge_validate_deployment`	Provider and HCL pre-flight checks
`cloudforge_apply`	Start a real deployment. Creates resources and costs money; stops at the approval gate
`cloudforge_destroy`	Start a destroy. Permanently deletes infrastructure; same approval gate
`cloudforge_approve_deployment`	Approve or reject a job waiting at its gate — the step that actually changes the cloud
`cloudforge_deployment_status`	Status and log of one job
`cloudforge_deployment_history`	Every deployment run against a diagram

Quality & cost

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_fix_terraform`	Repair broken HCL from an error log — the same healer the deployment pipeline uses on itself
`cloudforge_validate_terraform`	Syntax and provider-schema check without deploying
`cloudforge_estimate_cost`	Estimated monthly cost, per resource
`cloudforge_review_architecture`	AI review: reliability, security, cost, scaling trade-offs

Drift & compliance

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_scan_drift`	Compare a diagram against what is actually deployed
`cloudforge_latest_drift`	Most recent drift report for a diagram
`cloudforge_drift_report`	Read one drift report by id — poll this after a scan
`cloudforge_compliance_frameworks`	Frameworks available to scan against (APRA CPS 234, CIS, …)
`cloudforge_compliance_scan`	Scan against frameworks — deterministic evidence and control mappings, never an AI opinion

Self-healing — detect, approve, heal

Three steps, always in that order. There is deliberately no tool that approves a fix: approval means a person read what would change and consented to it, and a tool that let an assistant grant that consent on their behalf would remove the only guarantee the feature offers. Detect and report freely; the user approves in the CloudForge panel, the VS Code extension or the JetBrains tool window; then heal.

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_detect_remediations`	Turn a completed drift report into proposed fixes, all awaiting a person's decision
`cloudforge_list_remediations`	Proposals and where each one stands
`cloudforge_heal_approved`	Apply only what a person approved; pauses at the Terraform plan for a second yes
`cloudforge_remediation_ledger`	The append-only audit trail: what changed, why, and who said it could
`cloudforge_remediation_policy`	The bounds healing works inside — excluded resource types, how long a proposal stays actionable

Governance

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_list_policies`	Governance policies configured for the organisation
`cloudforge_evaluate_policies`	Check a design against them before deploying — the pipeline enforces the same rules

Shared work

Tool	Description
`cloudforge_foundry_diagrams`	Diagrams shared across the organisation (The Foundry)
`cloudforge_list_templates`	Organisation-authored templates, distinct from the built-in Molds

Setup

`CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN`	(required)	CloudForge API key — must start with `cf_live_`
`CLOUDFORGE_API_URL`	`https://cloudforge.cloud/api`	API base URL — only change if self-hosting
