Laravel Restify

Add laravel-restify to your Laravel project using Composer. This pulls in the package and registers its service provider automatically.

composer require binaryk/laravel-restify

Execute the Artisan setup command to publish configuration files and register the Restify service in your application.

php artisan restify:setup

Use the repository generator to create a Restify repository class for any Eloquent model. The --all flag generates all CRUD endpoints automatically.

php artisan restify:repository Post --all

Edit config/restify.php to set your API prefix, authentication guards, and authorization policies. By default the API is mounted at /api/restify.

# In config/restify.php
'prefix' => 'api/restify',
'auth_middleware' => ['auth:sanctum'],
'default_per_page' => 15,

Your Eloquent models are now accessible via the standard JSON:API endpoints. An AI agent or MCP proxy can call these URLs to query and manipulate data.

# List all posts
GET /api/restify/posts

# Create a post
POST /api/restify/posts

# Retrieve a specific post
GET /api/restify/posts/{id}

# Update a post
PUT /api/restify/posts/{id}

# Delete a post
DELETE /api/restify/posts/{id}

Because Laravel Restify is a PHP package exposing HTTP endpoints rather than a native MCP binary, connect it to Claude Desktop through an HTTP-to-MCP bridge or the npx launcher if available.
