mcp-development
Use this skill for Laravel MCP development. Trigger when creating or editing MCP tools, resources, prompts, servers, or UI apps in Laravel projects. Covers: artisan make:mcp-* generators, routes/ai.php, Tool/Resource/Prompt/AppResource classes, schema validation, shouldRegister(), OAuth setup, URI templates, read-only attributes, MCP debugging, MCP UI apps, the x-mcp::app Blade component, createMcpApp(), default AppResource handle() auto-infers view from class name, Response::view(), AppMeta/Csp/Permissions/appMeta() configuration, #[RendersApp] attribute, Library enum for CDN libraries (Tailwind, Alpine), and host theming via CSS variables. Use this whenever the user mentions MCP apps, MCP UI, interactive MCP resources, styling MCP apps with Tailwind or Alpine, or building visual interfaces for AI agents.

# MCP Development
## Documentation
Use `search-docs` for detailed Laravel MCP patterns and documentation.
For MCP UI apps (interactive HTML resources), read `references/app.md` — it covers the full architecture, host theming CSS variables, tool-to-UI linking patterns, library scripts (Tailwind, Alpine via `Library`), and real-world examples.
## Basic Usage
Register MCP servers in `routes/ai.php`:
<!-- Register MCP Server -->
```php
use Laravel\Mcp\Facades\Mcp;
Mcp::web();
```
### Creating MCP Primitives
```bash
php artisan make:mcp-tool ToolName # Create a tool
php artisan make:mcp-resource ResourceName # Create a resource
php artisan make:mcp-prompt PromptName # Create a prompt
php artisan make:mcp-server ServerName # Create a server
php artisan make:mcp-app-resource DashboardApp # Create a UI app (2 files)
```
After creating primitives, register them in your server's `$tools`, `$resources`, or `$prompts` properties.
### Tools
<!-- MCP Tool Example -->
```php
use Illuminate\Json\Schema\JsonSchema;
use Laravel\Mcp\Request;
use Laravel\Mcp\Response;
use Laravel\Mcp\Server\Tool;
class MyTool extends Tool
{
protected string $description = 'Describe what this tool does';
public function schema(JsonSchema $schema): array
{
return [
'name' => $schema->string()->description('The name parameter')->required(),
];
}
public function handle(Request $request): Response
{
$request->validate(['name' => 'required|string']);
return Response::text('Hello, '.$request->get('name'));
}
}
```
### Registering Primitives in a Server
<!-- Register Primitives in MCP Server -->
```php
use Laravel\Mcp\Server;
class AppServer extends Server
{
protected array $tools = [
\App\Mcp\Tools\MyTool::class,
];
protected array $resources = [
\App\Mcp\Resources\MyResource::class,
];
protected array $prompts = [
\App\Mcp\Prompts\MyPrompt::class,
];
}
```
## MCP UI Apps
For MCP UI apps, read `references/app.md` — it covers quick start examples, full architecture, AppMeta/Csp/Permissions, `#[RendersApp]` tool linking, library scripts (Tailwind/Alpine via `Library`), host theming CSS variables, and real-world patterns.
## Verification
1. Check `routes/ai.php` for proper registration
2. Test tool via MCP client
## Common Pitfalls
- Running `mcp:start` command (it hangs waiting for input)
- Using HTTPS locally with Node-based MCP clients
- Not using `search-docs` for the latest MCP documentation
- Not registering MCP server routes in `routes/ai.php`
- Do not register `ai.php` in `bootstrap.php`; it is registered automatically
- OAuth registration supports custom URI schemes (e.g., `cursor://`, `vscode://`) for native desktop clients via `mcp.custom_schemes` configUse whenever driving agent-browser against the local Relaticle app (relaticle.test and its panels) for testing, QA, business review, or UI automation. Covers Filament v5 + Livewire v4 quirks specific to this codebase: panel URL derivation (domain-routed vs path-routed, never assumed), login flows for the app and sysadmin panels, seeded credentials, Select/date-picker interaction, the $wire.mountAction gold pattern, tenant switching, Reverb/queue hazards, and session isolation. Every hard fact here is a DATED CACHED HINT. When one fails, re-derive from the running app and update this file (self-heal). Not for other sites or generic browser automation.
TRIGGER when working with ai-sdk which is Laravel official first-party AI SDK. Activate when building, editing AI agents, chatbots, text generation, image generation, audio/TTS, transcription/STT, embeddings, RAG, vector stores, reranking, structured output, streaming, conversation memory, tools, queueing, broadcasting, and provider failover across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Ollama, ElevenLabs, Cohere, Jina, and VoyageAI. Invoke when the user references ai-sdk, the `Laravel\Ai\` namespace, or this project's AI features — not for other AI packages used directly.
Use when the user asks to business-review their work (local mode default, via 'business-review' or 'review my branch'), a Relaticle pull request ('--pr <N>' or a bare PR number), or a described change (--describe). v3 is a panel-of-QAs engine. It resolves the live environment first (URLs/creds/queue/Redis/Reverb are DISCOVERED from the running app, never assumed), runs a browser-capability preflight, auto-tiers by blast radius, synthesizes journeys from the diff plus Relaticle CRM priors, walks them happy AND sad through the real browser, sweeps the regression ledger, adversarially cold-reproduces every bug, and emits a substance-gated verdict (ai-approved / ai-rejected / ai-needs-human, or blocked on a degraded channel). Browser-truth only: never tinker or hit the DB to fix or fake a result. On request ('fix all issues', --fix) enters fix mode: fix → re-verify each finding against its original repro → re-gate. Publishing to the PR is opt-in and hard-disabled on a degraded run. Does NOT do code/security/scope review; for that use /code-review, /review, /deep-review.
Handles Laravel Cashier Stripe integration including subscriptions, webhooks, Stripe Checkout, invoices, charges, refunds, trials, coupons, metered billing, and payment failure handling. Triggered when a user mentions Cashier, Billable, IncompletePayment, stripe_id, newSubscription, Stripe subscriptions, or billing. Also applies when setting up webhooks, handling SCA/3DS payment failures, testing with Stripe test cards, or troubleshooting incomplete subscriptions, CSRF webhook errors, or migration publish issues.
Use this skill whenever the user mentions Horizon by name in a Laravel context. Covers the full Horizon lifecycle: installing Horizon (horizon:install, Sail setup), configuring config/horizon.php (supervisor blocks, queue assignments, balancing strategies, minProcesses/maxProcesses), fixing the dashboard (authorization via Gate::define viewHorizon, blank metrics, horizon:snapshot scheduling), and troubleshooting production issues (worker crashes, timeout chain ordering, LongWaitDetected notifications, waits config). Also covers job tagging and silencing. Do not use for generic Laravel queues without Horizon, SQS or database drivers, standalone Redis setup, Linux supervisord, Telescope, or job batching.
Develops real-time broadcasting with Laravel Echo. Activates when setting up broadcasting (Reverb, Pusher, Ably); creating ShouldBroadcast events; defining broadcast channels (public, private, presence, encrypted); authorizing channels; configuring Echo; listening for events; implementing client events (whisper); setting up model broadcasting; broadcasting notifications; or when the user mentions broadcasting, Echo, WebSockets, real-time events, Reverb, or presence channels.
ACTIVATE when the user works on authentication in Laravel. This includes login, registration, password reset, email verification, two-factor authentication (2FA/TOTP/QR codes/recovery codes), passkeys, profile updates, password confirmation, or any auth-related routes and controllers. Activate when the user mentions Fortify, auth, authentication, login, register, signup, forgot password, verify email, 2FA, passkeys, WebAuthn, or references app/Actions/Fortify/, CreateNewUser, UpdateUserProfileInformation, FortifyServiceProvider, config/fortify.php, or auth guards. Fortify is the frontend-agnostic authentication backend for Laravel that registers all auth routes and controllers. Also activate when building SPA or headless authentication, customizing login redirects, overriding response contracts like LoginResponse, or configuring login throttling. Do NOT activate for Laravel Passport (OAuth2 API tokens), Socialite (OAuth social login), or non-auth Laravel features.
Use this skill to analyze how a Laravel application is actually written and record its conventions as shared rules. Trigger when the user wants to detect, infer, document, or standardize project conventions or coding style, set up or grow `.ai/rules`, resolve mixed or conflicting patterns (e.g. \"are we using Form Requests or inline validation?\"), or onboard agents and teammates to \"how we do things here\". Covers: a systematic sweep of ~49 Laravel convention dimensions (validation, models, architecture, testing, frontend, database, console), open-ended house-pattern discovery, conflict reporting, and recording rules scoped to the right paths via the Boost `record-rule` MCP tool. Do not use for one-off code review, enforcing formatting a linter already handles, or editing `.ai/rules` files by hand.
