OUR ASSESSMENT

laravel/boost is the official Laravel MCP. Tool surface covers Eloquent model and route discovery, migration inspection, Artisan command execution, configuration introspection, and Tinker queries. First framework-specific MCP for PHP/Laravel in the directory.

Strengths
  • Laravel official maintenance.
  • 3,455 GitHub stars.
  • 19 commits on main in the last 30 days.
  • MIT license.
  • Tinker queries give agents structured runtime access to the application.
  • Pairs with Claude Code MCP, OpenSpec for full Laravel agent dev loop.
Weaknesses
  • Laravel-only.
  • run_artisan executes any registered Artisan command; agent prompt path needs review.
  • tinker_query runs PHP in the application context; treat as remote code execution against the app runtime.
Security Notes

tinker_query and run_artisan execute code in the Laravel application context. Treat the agent flow as having full PHP-runtime access. Use a non-production environment or dedicated dev container for production agent flows.

Best For

Laravel teams adopting agent-driven development; flows that benefit from agents inspecting Eloquent schema and Tinker results; framework-aware code generation for PHP teams.
