## What it is
Laravel Boost is an official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor deep insight into a Laravel application's structure, database, routes, and conventions. It bundles 15+ specialized tools, curated AI guidelines and agent skills, and a semantic-search documentation API covering 17,000+ Laravel knowledge entries.

## Use cases
- make Claude Code write idiomatic Laravel code
- give Cursor context about my Laravel app's schema and routes
- search Laravel documentation semantically from an AI agent
- upgrade a Laravel 12 app to Laravel 13 with AI
- generate agent guideline files like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md
- let AI agents query my application's database and routes safely

## When to choose
- you develop Laravel applications with AI coding assistants
- you want agents to follow Laravel best practices and conventions
- you need up-to-date, version-aware Laravel documentation inside your agent
- you want guided AI-assisted framework upgrades

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Laravel or the PHP ecosystem
- you need an MCP server for a non-Laravel stack
- you only want generic AI assistance without framework-specific context
