Terraback

Scans AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud resources and generates Terraform HCL with import blocks for AI agents.

What you can do

Terraback scans cloud accounts and produces Terraform configuration, including import blocks, so existing infrastructure can be brought under Terraform management. It is described as deterministic, meaning the same scan yields the same output. It runs as a local MCP server over stdio, so an assistant can invoke it as a tool during infrastructure work. The manifest does not list individual tool names.

When to use it

Useful when you want an assistant to inventory existing AWS, Azure, or GCP resources and draft Terraform code to adopt them. It fits infrastructure-as-code migration, drift review, and codifying manually created resources. It is a desktop-only local process, so it is not suited to browser or hosted use.

Requirements

Runs locally as a Python package (pypi terraback) launched with uvx over stdio; desktop only. Cloud credentials for the providers being scanned are needed, and ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID is recommended when scanning Azure for terraform plan verification with the azurerm provider. TERRABACK_LICENSE is an optional offline license key; without it the server runs in the free Community tier with codify_batch capped at 25 resources per run.
