Connecting Laravel to AI Agents with MCP 1.0

The official 1.0 release of Laravel MCP is now live! Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants—including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and IDE agents—to securely connect with external tools, data sources, and runtime context.

Supercharging AI Coding Workflows

With Laravel MCP installed, your AI pair programmer can intelligently read and interact with your Laravel application context in real time:

• Schema Introspection: AI assistants inspect tables, foreign keys, and indexes directly from your database connection.
• Route & Middleware Mapping: Instantly discover active route patterns, middleware pipelines, and controller bindings.
• Artisan Command Execution: Run safe migrations, route lists, and test suites with guided confirmation.
• Log & Error Diagnostics: Read Laravel log streams to diagnose runtime exceptions without copy-pasting stack traces.

Quick Setup

# Install Laravel MCP server
composer require laravel/mcp --dev

# Start MCP Server
php artisan mcp:serve

Laravel MCP represents a major milestone in integrating artificial intelligence into day-to-day software development.
