Search Laravel Docs with the Laravel Boost MCP Server
If you're working on a Laravel project, the Laravel Boost MCP server gives Claude access to version-specific documentation search. Install it with:
composer require laravel/boost --dev
Then add the MCP config to .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"laravel-boost": {
"command": "php",
"args": ["artisan", "boost:mcp"]
}
}
}
Now Claude can search docs with the search-docs tool:
// Claude will automatically search docs before making changes
// You can also ask directly:
"Search the Livewire docs for wire:sort"
The search returns results specific to your installed package versions — no more outdated docs.
You can also use database-schema to inspect your tables and database-query to run read-only SQL, all without leaving the conversation.

MCP servers aren't just for third-party integrations — you can build your own to give Claude direct access to your internal tools, databases, APIs, and workflows. A custom MCP server turns any system your team uses into a tool Claude can call natively from your session.
MCP servers can be scoped at three levels — user (available everywhere you work), project (shared with the team via version control), or enterprise (managed by your organization). Pick the right scope so each project gets exactly the tools it needs without cluttering unrelated ones.
Instead of manually editing settings JSON to add MCP servers, use the claude mcp command — add servers with one line, list what's configured, remove ones you don't need, and scope them to the right level, all from the terminal.
