  "summary": "HashiCorp Nomad is automatable today through its HTTP API. This record is the Nomad scheduler and orchestrator, including self-hosted agents and Nomad Enterprise, not Vault, Consul, or Terraform. HashiCorp states the RESTful HTTP API controls almost every aspect of the agent. All routes are prefixed with /v1/. When ACLs are enabled, callers send the token SecretID as X-Nomad-Token or as Authorization Bearer. The official client listed on the libraries page is the Go package github.com/hashicorp/nomad/api. Java and Scala libraries appear on the same page under third-party and unsupported and are not treated as official here. The nomad CLI is a first-party binary that talks to the same HTTP API, with NOMAD_ADDR and NOMAD_TOKEN for remote and non-interactive use. Nomad Enterprise requires a license on each server. First-party MCP was not established. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API and CLI both score 8; API is the best path because the CLI itself consumes it.\n"
