Laravel Boost is not just an ordinary tool, but a magic tool for Laravel developers. Laravel Boost is an AI-powered coding starter kit designed and built to enhance the productivity of Laravel developers. By using Laravel Boost, AI doesn't just “guess” the answers but provides more accurate and specific solutions based on the Laravel ecosystem we use.

Key Features of Laravel Boost

1. MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

Laravel Boost provides an MCP server that allows AI agents such as Cursor, Claude, Github Copilot, or PHPStorm to interact directly with our Laravel projects. Some of the tools provided include:

• Database Query - run queries to the database directly from your Laravel application context.
• Database Schema - read the database schema (tables, columns, and help AI understand table relationships) so that the SQL code suggestions provided are more accurate.
• List Available Config Keys - displays a list of available configuration keys.
• List Available ENV vars - displays a list of available .env variables without exposing sensitive values.
• Search Docs - searches documentation from the Laravel ecosystem via the Documentation API that has been vectorized.
• etc.

2. Specific Documentation

Over 17,000 documentation items from the Laravel ecosystem (Livewire, Inertia, Filament, etc.) have been vectorized, enabling AI to perform precise and more accurate searches. This helps AI reduce errors and ensure that the solutions provided are relevant to the version of Laravel we are using.

3. AI Guidelines

Laravel Boost provides AI Guidelines created and set directly by the Laravel team. AI Guidelines have been created in specific versions, so AI is encouraged to write code that complies with Laravel best practices.

Why is Laravel Boost important?

Without Laravel Boost, AI often provides generic code. Laravel Boost fixes this by providing real context and structure from Laravel projects.

Installation and Getting Started with Laravel Boost

Open the terminal and navigate to your respective Laravel project folder, then paste the following Bash code.

composer require laravel/boost --dev

After installing Laravel Boost, run the following command.

php artisan boost:install

Done! AI agents like Cursor, Github Copilot, and others can now use the Laravel Boost tools and appropriate guidelines.
