| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Authentication follows the publisher's documented endpoint or local-server configuration. OAuth scopes, API-key handling, and revocation behavior remain review items. | HCP Terraform/TFE API tokens; remote client may pass per-user TFE_TOKEN |
| Cost | No MCP100 cost conclusion is published yet. The publisher's account plan, API usage, infrastructure, or per-action charges may apply. | HCP/TFE/run costs may apply |
| Permissions | Exact permissions and the read/write boundary have not yet completed MCP100 independent review; consult the linked publisher sources and use the narrowest available scope. | HCP Terraform/TFE RBAC |
| Data handling | Publisher-accessible account or application data may be returned to the MCP client and its selected model. Retention and subprocess behavior require candidate-specific review. | registry/HCP/TFE data may reach connected MCP client/LLM |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Use a test workspace or non-production account, least privilege, read-only controls where available, explicit approval for mutations, and credential revocation after evaluation. | stdio/localhost defaults; strict CORS; TLS verify on; rate limits; ENABLE_TF_OPERATIONS=false by default |
