Laravel Boost

  • Laravel Boost is an MCP server that comes with powerful tools designed specifically for this application. Use them.

Artisan

  • Use the list-artisan-commands tool when you need to call an Artisan command to double-check the available parameters.

URLs

  • Whenever you share a project URL with the user, you should use the get-absolute-url tool to ensure you're using the correct scheme, domain/IP, and port.

Tinker / Debugging

  • You should use the tinker tool when you need to execute PHP to debug code or query Eloquent models directly.
  • Use the database-query tool when you only need to read from the database.
  • Use the database-schema tool to inspect table structure before writing migrations or models.

Reading Browser Logs With the browser-logs Tool

  • You can read browser logs, errors, and exceptions using the browser-logs tool from Boost.
  • Only recent browser logs will be useful - ignore old logs.

Searching Documentation (Critically Important)

  • Boost comes with a powerful search-docs tool you should use before trying other approaches when working with Laravel or Laravel ecosystem packages. This tool automatically passes a list of installed packages and their versions to the remote Boost API, so it returns only version-specific documentation for the user's circumstance. You should pass an array of packages to filter on if you know you need docs for particular packages.
  • Search the documentation before making code changes to ensure we are taking the correct approach.
  • Use multiple, broad, simple, topic-based queries at once. For example: ['rate limiting', 'routing rate limiting', 'routing']. The most relevant results will be returned first.
  • Do not add package names to queries; package information is already shared. For example, use test resource table, not filament 4 test resource table.

Available Search Syntax

  1. Simple Word Searches with auto-stemming - query=authentication - finds 'authenticate' and 'auth'.
  2. Multiple Words (AND Logic) - query=rate limit - finds knowledge containing both "rate" AND "limit".
  3. Quoted Phrases (Exact Position) - query="infinite scroll" - words must be adjacent and in that order.
  4. Mixed Queries - query=middleware "rate limit" - "middleware" AND exact phrase "rate limit".
  5. Multiple Queries - queries=["authentication", "middleware"] - ANY of these terms.
