Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing and searching Laravel 12 documentation. Enables AI assistants and tools to query Laravel docs
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing and searching Laravel 12 documentation. Enables AI assistants and tools to query Laravel docs through a standardized interface. The laravel mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 14 defined tools rather than through you.
Listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.brianirish/laravel-mcp-companion — clients with registry support can install it from there directly. Manual setup:
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Multi — version Laravel documentation** (6.x through latest) with enhanced searchAuto — discovery Laravel services** - Forge, Vapor, Envoyer, Nova (117+ sections)Cross — package compatibility** - Learn which packages work well togetherWindows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonmacOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonSection — level reads** - Fetch just the section you need. A wholeTask — capable updates** - Documentation updates run as MCP tasks: submit,Elicitation — Interactive choices where they help, with plain listingsv1.0.0 — First stable release — API freeze, breaking-change policy,AI-friendly — Designed specifically for LLM context windowsFeature — Laravel BoostFocus — Code generationInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Laravel's toolset — Multi, Auto, Cross and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
