Summary
The argument you half-remember, without leaving the file.
resourceArgumentDetails returns required and optional attributes with their nested blocks, so writing an unfamiliar resource stops being a trip to the registry site and back. providerGuides carries the upgrade notes, which is the page you actually want open when a provider's major version moves under you.
What it is
A read-only client for the Terraform Registry in 10 tools: providers with their resources, data sources, functions and guides; modules with versions, inputs, outputs and dependencies; and policy libraries.
What you get
- A resource type's full argument set — required and optional attributes, nested blocks, and their descriptions — for a given provider and version
- An example usage of a resource together with the resources related to it
- Provider details by namespace, name and optional version, and every data source a provider exposes
- Module search by query, and a module's metadata: versions, inputs, outputs and dependencies
- Provider functions documented one at a time, and provider guides including version-upgrade guides
- Policy libraries searched, and one read in detail with its latest version
Requirements
Npx on your PATH. It reads the Terraform Registry and takes no credentials.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y terraform-mcp-server
