What this file does
Configures an MCP server with tools for Laravel development including Artisan, debugging, URL handling, and documentation search.
When to use it
- You use Laravel Boost MCP server in your development workflow
- You need to run Artisan commands or debug Eloquent queries
- You want to search Laravel docs with version-specific results
- You need to read browser logs or inspect database schema

trigger: always_on
<laravel-boost-guidelines> === boost rules ===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-commandstool 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-urltool to ensure you're using the correct scheme, domain/IP, and port.
Tinker / Debugging
- You should use the
tinkertool when you need to execute PHP to debug code or query Eloquent models directly. - Use the
database-querytool when you only need to read from the database. - Use the
database-schematool 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-logstool from Boost. - Only recent browser logs will be useful - ignore old logs.
Searching Documentation (Critically Important)
- Boost comes with a powerful
search-docstool 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, notfilament 4 test resource table.
Available Search Syntax
- Simple Word Searches with auto-stemming - query=authentication - finds 'authenticate' and 'auth'.
- Multiple Words (AND Logic) - query=rate limit - finds knowledge containing both "rate" AND "limit".
- Quoted Phrases (Exact Position) - query="infinite scroll" - words must be adjacent and in that order.
- Mixed Queries - query=middleware "rate limit" - "middleware" AND exact phrase "rate limit".
- Multiple Queries - queries=["authentication", "middleware"] - ANY of these terms.
What's inside
1 trigger, 1 rule block with 6 tool usage guidelines and search syntax examples
Change this for your project
- Replace
timjossund/baptist-cloudwith your own repository name - Replace
laravel-boost-guidelineswith your own guidelines identifier if different - Replace
always_onwith your desired trigger condition
Where it goes
Keep it in your repository where the agent or team that needs it will read it.
Worth borrowing
- Using multiple broad queries for documentation search to get relevant results
- Separating database read queries from full PHP tinker execution
