CloudForge MCP server

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_list_members	List organisation members (name, email, role, status)
cloudforge_invite_member	Send an organisation invitation
cloudforge_list_invitations	List pending invitations
cloudforge_cancel_invitation	Cancel a pending invitation
cloudforge_remove_member	Remove a member from the organisation

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

Claude Desktop (recommended)

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cloudforge-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN": "your-bearer-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code / .mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudforge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cloudforge-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN": "your-bearer-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

1. Sign in at cloudforge.cloud
2. Go to Account → API Keys
3. Click Generate API Key, give it a name (e.g. CloudForge MCP), and copy the key — it starts with cf_live_ and is shown only once
4. Set it as CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN in your MCP config

The key is long-lived and can be revoked from the same page at any time.

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
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
