Laravel MCP Companion centralizes Laravel documentation by aggregating multi-version core docs, services, and community package references. It helps you learn faster, discover relevant material, and use Laravel resources more efficiently with an MCP client.

How to use

You connect to the MCP server through an MCP client by adding the server configuration and starting the local or remote service. Once connected, you can search across Laravel core docs, Forge, Vapor, Envoyer, Nova, and popular packages, then use learning paths, “I need X” style queries, and cross-package guidance to find the exact documentation you need. You can also filter content by difficulty, browse by topic category, and access up-to-date materials from multiple Laravel sources in a single interface.

How to install

Prerequisites: You need Docker installed on your system to run the MCP companion through the provided container.

Install and run the MCP companion using the supported runtime command shown below. This setup runs the MCP companion as a local process via Docker.

Configuration and usage notes

The MCP server is configured to run as a local process via Docker. When you start it, the companion serves as a backend that your MCP client connects to for aggregated Laravel documentation.

Development

If you are contributing, you can build, test, and run the project using Python 3.12+, and Node.js 18+ for auxiliary tooling. Set up a virtual environment, install dependencies, and run tests or start the MCP Inspector for manual testing of the server.
