The Terraform Cloud workflow you know, and moreThe same workspaces, variables, state and run workflow as Terraform Cloud, plus drift detection and self-hosted agents at no extra charge.

Drift DetectionGet notified about drift, remediate it, and build drift dashboards.

Self-Hosted AgentsExecute runs on your own infrastructure to meet compliance requirements at no extra cost.

State ManagementStore state in Scalr, or in your own bucket on the Enterprise plan.

PR-Native GitOpsApply-before-merge, PR slash commands, run summaries posted to PRs, and branch-aware state protection, all built in with no plugins.

Policy as CodeUse Open Policy Agent, Checkov, or both.

Security and ComplianceGranular RBAC, SAML, OIDC, and secrets management, so you can control access without slowing teams down. Audit logging is on the Enterprise plan.

RegistriesPush standards through private module and custom hook registries.

MCP ServerRun security audits, usage and billing queries, and more against your platform.

Dynamic Provider CredentialsCentrally store credentials and use OIDC connections.

See what your platform is doingRun metrics and account-wide reports on versions, modules, providers, drift and tokens, without exporting anything.

Ask your platform in plain languageThe Scalr MCP server connects Claude, Cursor or VS Code to your Scalr account on every plan. It acts with your own permissions, so it can't see anything you can't, and most of its tools are read-only.

Questions it answers from your account data

Which workspaces run an OpenTofu version older than 1.6 and also have detected drift?

List every access policy that grants admin at the account scope, and who holds it.

Why did the last run in the payments-prod workspace fail?

Every report, including versions, modules, providers, drift and billing, is available to it as structured data, so one question can span two reports. Set up the MCP server

Frequently asked questionsWe've answered some of the most common questions

What is Scalr?

What counts as a billable run?

How does migrating from Terraform Cloud work?

Scalr's open-source migration script copies Terraform Cloud projects into Scalr environments, along with their workspaces, workspace variables and current state files. Its documented scope doesn't include teams, policy sets or run tasks, so plan to set those up in Scalr. After the move, CLI users change the hostname and organization in their cloud block and run terraform login against their Scalr account.

Which Terraform versions does Scalr support?

How much does it cost?

Is concurrency included?

Where does Scalr run, and can state stay in my cloud?

What makes Scalr's GitOps better than Terraform Cloud?

Scalr supports Atlantis-style apply-before-merge, PR slash commands (/scalr plan, /scalr apply, /scalr approve, /scalr decline), rich plan and apply summaries posted directly to PRs, state branch awareness that prevents accidental overwrites, configurable commit diff strategies, draft PR skip, and auto-merge of main into dev branches. Terraform Cloud's VCS-driven workflow applies after changes merge to the workspace's branch and reports back to the pull request as a commit status with a link to the run.
