Overview

What is Laravel MCP Companion?

Laravel MCP Companion is a documentation aggregator and navigator for the Laravel ecosystem that centralizes high-quality documentation from across Laravel, making it discoverable through an AI assistant. It targets developers learning, researching, or referencing Laravel documentation.

How to use Laravel MCP Companion?

Install by adding the Docker image ghcr.io/brianirish/laravel-mcp-companion:latest to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop or Claude Code). Use command-line options like --version 11.x to pin a Laravel version or --force-update to refresh documentation.

FAQ from Laravel MCP Companion

How does Laravel MCP Companion compare to Laravel Boost and Context7?

Laravel Boost is best for code generation with project-aware context; Context7 handles general documentation. Laravel MCP Companion focuses on Laravel documentation with features like multi-version support, service docs, learning paths, and offline access.

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

Python 3.12+ and Node.js 18+ (for MCP Inspector) are required for development. For production use, only Docker is needed to run the server.

Where does the documentation data live?

Documentation is stored locally in the ./docs directory by default, configurable via the --docs-path option.

How often is the documentation updated?

The application automatically syncs with the latest documentation daily, including core Laravel docs, service docs, and community package docs.

What transport and authentication does the server use?

The server uses stdio transport via Docker. No authentication is described; it runs locally as an MCP server.
