LMAD - Laravel MCP API Discovery

Laravel MCP server that exposes API routes, controllers, FormRequest validation rules, and response schemas to AI agents

A Laravel 12 MCP (Model Context Protocol) package that provides AI agents with comprehensive API discovery and analysis capabilities. LMAD enables AI coding assistants to understand your Laravel application's API structure, validation rules, and response schemas.

- Route Discovery: List and filter API routes by path, HTTP method, domain, and vendor exclusion
- Controller Inspection: Get detailed controller method information including file paths and line numbers
- Request Validation Analysis: Parse FormRequest validation rules, custom error messages, and authorization logic
- Response Schema Analysis: Analyze controller return types, JsonResource structures, and Model attributes
- Complete Endpoint Analysis: Get comprehensive information about any endpoint in a single call
- Dynamic Resources: Access controller and route information via MCP URI templates

- PHP: 8.2 or higher
- Laravel: 12.x
- laravel/mcp: 0.5.x or higher

The package will automatically register its service provider.

If you want to customize the MCP server registration:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lmad-routes

This publishes the MCP routes toroutes/lmad.php.

The LMAD MCP server is automatically registered in your application via the package'sroutes/ai.phpfile:

use Laravel\Mcp\Facades\Mcp; use Lmad\Mcp\LmadServer; Mcp::local('lmad', LmadServer::class);

Create or edit your Claude Code MCP configuration file to connect to the LMAD server.

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/.claude_desktop_config.jsonon macOS/Linux):

{ "mcpServers": { "lmad": { "command": "php", "args": [ "/path/to/your/lmad/project/artisan", "mcp:serve", "--server=lmad" ], "env": { "APP_ENV": "local" } } } }

{ "mcpServers": { "lmad": { "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp/lmad" } } }

Restart Claude Desktop or reload your IDE extension to activate the MCP server.

List all available MCP tools and resources.

You should see LMAD tools likelist_api_routes,get_route_details, etc.

Get all CRM API routes: Use list_api_routes with path filter "api/crm" Analyze the companies endpoint: Use analyze_endpoint for URI "api/crm/companies" with method "GET" Get validation rules for company creation: Use get_request_rules for "App\Http\Requests\Crm\Company\StoreRequest"

Install theCline extensionfrom the VS Code Marketplace.
- Open VS Code Settings
- Search for "Cline: MCP Servers"

{ "lmad": { "command": "php", "args": [ "/absolute/path/to/your/lmad/project/artisan", "mcp:serve", "--server=lmad" ], "env": { "APP_ENV": "local", "LARAVEL_ROOT": "/absolute/path/to/your/lmad/project" } } }

{ "lmad": { "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp/lmad", "headers": { "Accept": "application/json" } } }

cd /path/to/your/lmad/project composer run dev

Reload the VS Code window to activate the MCP server connection.

I need to understand the CRM API. Can you: 1. List all routes under "api/crm" 2. Get details for the companies store endpoint 3. Show me the validation rules for creating a company

Cline will use the LMAD MCP tools to gather this information.
