How to Set Up and Use Laravel MCP SDK
The Laravel MCP SDK is a Composer package that brings full Model Context Protocol support to Laravel applications, letting PHP developers register tools, resources, and prompts that any MCP-compatible AI client can discover and call. It supports HTTP, WebSocket, and stdio transports through a single Artisan command, and includes progress tracking, structured logging, and model preference configuration out of the box. Teams building AI-powered Laravel backends can use it to expose database queries, business logic, or file operations as typed MCP tools without leaving the framework they already know.
Prerequisites
- PHP 8.1 or higher with OpenSSL, PDO, Mbstring, XML, Ctype, and JSON extensions
- Laravel 10.x application
- Composer 2.x
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Install the package via Composer
Add the Laravel MCP SDK to your Laravel project's dependencies using Composer.
composer require laravelmcp/mcpPublish the configuration file
Publish the package's config file so you can customise transport settings, host, and port.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelMCP\MCP\MCPServiceProvider" --tag="config"Set environment variables
Add the following keys to your .env file. MCP_SERVER_TRANSPORT can be http, websocket, or stdio depending on how your client connects.
MCP_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
MCP_SERVER_PORT=8080
MCP_SERVER_TRANSPORT=httpRegister tools in your application
Use the FastMCP class to register callable tools with typed parameters. Place this in a service provider or dedicated MCP bootstrap file.
use LaravelMCP\MCP\FastMCP;
$mcp = new FastMCP();
$mcp->tool('get_user', [
'id' => ['type' => 'integer', 'required' => true]
])(function ($args) {
return ['user' => User::find($args['id'])];
});Start the MCP server
Use the Artisan command to launch the MCP server. For Claude Desktop integration, use --transport=stdio.
# HTTP mode
php artisan mcp:serve
# WebSocket mode
php artisan mcp:serve --transport=websocket --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8081
# Stdio mode (for Claude Desktop)
php artisan mcp:serve --transport=stdioConnect your MCP client
For Claude Desktop using stdio transport, register the server in claude_desktop_config.json pointing to your Laravel project's artisan binary.
{
"mcpServers": {
"laravel-mcp": {
"command": "php",
"args": ["/path/to/your/laravel/artisan", "mcp:serve", "--transport=stdio"]
}
}
}Laravel MCP SDK Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop configuration using stdio transport to connect to a local Laravel MCP server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"laravel-mcp": {
"command": "php",
"args": ["/var/www/myapp/artisan", "mcp:serve", "--transport=stdio"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts once your Laravel tools are registered and the server is running.
- "List all available MCP tools registered in this Laravel server."
- "Call the get_user tool with id 42 and show me the result."
- "Use the calculate tool to multiply 17 by 89."
- "What resources are exposed by this MCP server?"Troubleshooting Laravel MCP SDK
php artisan mcp:serve fails with 'Class not found' error
Run composer dump-autoload to regenerate the autoloader after installation. Also confirm the service provider was published correctly.
Claude Desktop cannot connect when using stdio transport
Ensure the full absolute path to the artisan binary is in the args array and that PHP is in the system PATH accessible by Claude Desktop. Test by running the command manually in a terminal.
WebSocket transport connection drops repeatedly
Install the optional ext-pcntl and ext-posix PHP extensions and use Supervisor to keep the process alive. ReactPHP is required for HTTP and WebSocket transports — verify it is installed with composer show react/event-loop.
