README

Meta-package with essential AI agent tooling for Laravel projects. One install, everything you need.

Installation

composer require skylence/ai-essentials

What's Included

Zero config. Install and all tools automatically optimize their output when an AI agent is detected.

MCP Server Setup

The MCP servers ship as dev dependencies — run composer install (not --no-dev) to get them.

Laravel Boost

Laravel Boost provides AI guidelines, skills, and an MCP server for your project.

Install the package:

composer require laravel/boost --dev

Run the installer (auto-detects Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, PhpStorm):

php artisan boost:install

This configures AI guidelines, agent skills, and the MCP server in one step.

Manual MCP setup (if you skip the installer):

Add to .mcp.json in the project root:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "boost": {
            "command": "php",
            "args": ["artisan", "boost:mcp"]
        }
    }
}

Model Inspector MCP

Gives AI assistants deep introspection into Eloquent models, relationships, and schema.

Install the package:

composer require skylence/laravel-model-inspector-mcp --dev

Run the installer (auto-detects your editor):

php artisan model-inspector:install

Manual MCP setup:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "laravel-model-inspector-mcp": {
            "command": "php",
            "args": ["artisan", "model-inspector:mcp"]
        }
    }
}

Using Laravel Sail? Replace php with ./vendor/bin/sail.

Optimize MCP

Analyzes your Laravel config, structure, and database for performance and security insights.

Install the package:

composer require skylence/laravel-optimize-mcp --dev

Run the installer (auto-detects your editor, optionally configures HTTP access for staging/production):

php artisan optimize-mcp:install

Telescope MCP

Real-time monitoring, performance analysis, and debugging through Laravel Telescope.

Requires Laravel Telescope to be installed first.

Install the package:

composer require skylence/laravel-telescope-mcp --dev

Run the installer (auto-detects your editor, optionally configures HTTP access):

php artisan telescope-mcp:install

Manual MCP setup (add to .mcp.json):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "telescope": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "php",
            "args": ["artisan", "mcp:start", "telescope"]
        }
    }
}

Restart your editor/AI tool after updating .mcp.json.
