Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Visualise diagrams, generate Terraform HCL, and manage Azure/AWS/GCP infrastructure with AI.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Developer tools
  • You need to fill in: CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add cloudforge --env CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y cloudforge-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

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

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "cloudforge": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "cloudforge-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN secret required env
    CloudForge API key — generate one at cloudforge.cloud/account under API Keys. Must start with cf_live_

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Cloudforge safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: CLOUDFORGE_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

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.

Pricing
ToolDescription
cloudforge_get_pricingGet 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.

ToolDescription
cloudforge_planRun terraform plan — add/change/destroy diff plus the security quality gate. Read-only
cloudforge_dry_runValidate and plan without touching a cloud account
cloudforge_validate_deploymentProvider and HCL pre-flight checks
cloudforge_applyStart a real deployment. Creates resources and costs money; stops at the approval gate
cloudforge_destroyStart a destroy. Permanently deletes infrastructure; same approval gate
cloudforge_approve_deploymentApprove or reject a job waiting at its gate — the step that actually changes the cloud
cloudforge_deployment_statusStatus and log of one job
cloudforge_deployment_historyEvery deployment run against a diagram
Quality & cost
ToolDescription
cloudforge_fix_terraformRepair broken HCL from an error log — the same healer the deployment pipeline uses on itself
cloudforge_validate_terraformSyntax and provider-schema check without deploying
cloudforge_estimate_costEstimated monthly cost, per resource
cloudforge_review_architectureAI review: reliability, security, cost, scaling trade-offs
Drift & compliance
ToolDescription
cloudforge_scan_driftCompare a diagram against what is actually deployed
cloudforge_latest_driftMost recent drift report for a diagram
cloudforge_drift_reportRead one drift report by id — poll this after a scan
cloudforge_compliance_frameworksFrameworks available to scan against (APRA CPS 234, CIS, …)
cloudforge_compliance_scanScan 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.

ToolDescription
cloudforge_detect_remediationsTurn a completed drift report into proposed fixes, all awaiting a person's decision
cloudforge_list_remediationsProposals and where each one stands
cloudforge_heal_approvedApply only what a person approved; pauses at the Terraform plan for a second yes
cloudforge_remediation_ledgerThe append-only audit trail: what changed, why, and who said it could
cloudforge_remediation_policyThe bounds healing works inside — excluded resource types, how long a proposal stays actionable
Governance
ToolDescription
cloudforge_list_policiesGovernance policies configured for the organisation
cloudforge_evaluate_policiesCheck a design against them before deploying — the pipeline enforces the same rules
Shared work
ToolDescription
cloudforge_foundry_diagramsDiagrams shared across the organisation (The Foundry)
cloudforge_list_templatesOrganisation-authored templates, distinct from the built-in Molds
