Croft is an MCP server designed specifcally for Laravel developers, by Laravel developers. We wanted a plug and play solution to boosting productivity, so we built one. Thephp artisan croftcommand provides tools to your MCP client to help your AI pair programmer work better. This package is specifically designed to offer tools that are usefullocally.

To make use of Croft you need to add it as an MCP server in your favourite tool.
The command the MCP client needs to run is./artisan croft
We recommend you ship anmcp.jsonfile with your project in.cursor/mcp.json
{ "mcpServers": { "croft": { "command": "./artisan", "args": ["croft"] } } }

It's trivial to add your own tools.
Just create a class that extends ourCroft\Feature\Tool\AbstractToolclass, then make sure it's in yourcroft.phpconfig file.
<?php declare(strict_types=1); namespace Croft\Tools; use Croft\Feature\Tool\AbstractTool; use Croft\Feature\Tool\ToolResponse; class {{CLASSNAME}} extends AbstractTool { public function __construct() { // Setup annotations according to MCP specification $this->setTitle('{{NAME}}') ->setReadOnly(true) // Just listing commands, no modifications ->setDestructive(false) // No destructive operations ->setIdempotent(true); // Safe to retry } public function getName(): string { return '{{NAME}}'; } public function getDescription(): string { return 'Must explain well what the tool can do so the MCP client can decide when to use it.'; } / * What params does the MCP client need to provide to use this tool? / public function getInputSchema(): array { return [ 'type' => 'object', 'properties' => (object) [ ], 'required' => [], ]; } public function handle(array $arguments): ToolResponse { return ToolResponse::text("Howdy, this is the start of something great."); } }
After adding a tool you'll need to restart the server, or ask the MCP client to relist the tools.
