Install and Configure the Terraform Provider

To use the MuleSoft Terraform provider, install the provider from the Terraform Registry and configure authentication for your MuleSoft Platform organization.

The provider supports Terraform-based management for MuleSoft Platform resources, including CloudHub 2.0, API Manager, Access Management, Secrets Manager, MCP servers, and AI agent resources.

Access the Provider in the Terraform Registry

Go to the Terraform Registry and search for the MuleSoft Terraform provider.

For provider installation instructions and the complete list of supported resources, see the MuleSoft Terraform provider documentation.

Add the Provider

Add the provider to your Terraform configuration file:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    anypoint = {
      source  = "mulesoft/anypoint"
      version = "~> 1.0.0"
    }
  }
}
Replace 1.0.0 with the latest version. See the MuleSoft Anypoint provider on the Terraform Registry for the current release.

Initialize Terraform

Run the following command to download and install the provider:

terraform init

Configure Credentials

The provider supports two types of connected apps depending on the resources you manage.

Standard Connected App

Most resources use a standard connected app (client credentials only):

export TF_VAR_anypoint_client_id="<client-id>"
export TF_VAR_anypoint_client_secret="<client-secret>"
export TF_VAR_anypoint_base_url="https://anypoint.mulesoft.com"

Admin Connected App

Some resources require an admin connected app configured with user credentials. This is needed for resources that authenticate on behalf of a user:

export TF_VAR_anypoint_admin_client_id="<admin-connected-app-client-id>"
export TF_VAR_anypoint_admin_client_secret="<admin-connected-app-client-secret>"
export TF_VAR_anypoint_admin_username="<admin-username>"
export TF_VAR_anypoint_admin_password="<admin-password>"
export TF_VAR_anypoint_base_url="https://anypoint.mulesoft.com"

Configure the Provider

Configure the provider using the authentication method required for your resources.

Standard Connected App

provider "anypoint" {
  client_id     = var.anypoint_client_id
  client_secret = var.anypoint_client_secret
  base_url      = var.anypoint_base_url
}

Admin Connected App

provider "anypoint" {
  alias         = "admin"
  username      = var.anypoint_admin_username
  password      = var.anypoint_admin_password
  client_id     = var.anypoint_admin_client_id
  client_secret = var.anypoint_admin_client_secret
  base_url      = var.anypoint_base_url
}

The provider also supports additional authentication methods, including access token authentication and control plane configuration. For the complete provider configuration reference, see the MuleSoft Terraform provider documentation.
