Installing the laravel mcp companion mcp server

The server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Requirements

  • Python 3.12+ - Node.js 18+ (for MCP Inspector)

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Laravel MCP Companion sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Multi, Auto, Cross among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • With 14 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Laravel MCP Companion.
  • Maintained by brianirish, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the laravel mcp companion mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
