Parse Terraform plan JSON or text output, classify resource changes, and surface a dependency-oriented summary before apply
Call this tool from your code in three languages.
# 1) Upload each file first → returns { filePath }
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/upload/terraform-plan-visualizer' \
-F 'file=@/path/to/planFile.ext'
# 2) Call the tool with the returned filePath values
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/terraform-plan-visualizer' \

}Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.
Add this block to your MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"elysiatools-terraform-plan-visualizer": {
"name": "terraform-plan-visualizer",
"description": "Parse Terraform plan JSON or text output, classify resource changes, and surface a dependency-oriented summary before apply",

"command": "",
"args": [],
"env": {},
"isActive": true,
"type": "sse"
}
}
}After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
{
