{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laravel-api": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/var/www/ai-tools/mcp-laravel-api-kaitori/dist/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "APP_NAME": "kaipa",
        "DB_HOST": "db",
        "DB_PORT": "3306",
        "APP_PORT": "8181",
        "REDIS_HOST": "redis",
        "REDIS_PORT": "6379"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Start the service

Development mode:

npm run mcp-dev

Production mode:

npm start

Available Tools

Laravel Tools

get_models

List all Eloquent models in the application.

get_config

Access Laravel configuration settings.

Redis Tools

redis_get

Retrieve a value from Redis cache.

redis_get({ key: "user:123" })

redis_set

Store a value in Redis cache with optional TTL.

redis_set({ key: "user:123", value: "John Doe", ttl: 3600 })

redis_delete

Delete one or more keys from Redis.

redis_delete({ key: "user:123" })

redis_keys

Find keys matching a pattern.

redis_keys({ pattern: "cache:*" })

redis_exists

Check if a key exists in Redis.

redis_exists({ key: "user:123" })

redis_flush_db

Clear all data in the current Redis database (use with caution).

redis_flush_db({})

Environment Variables

Required

• APP_NAME - Application name (default: kaipa)
• DB_HOST - Database host (default: db)
• DB_PORT - Database port (default: 3306)
• APP_PORT - Application port (default: 8181)

Optional (Redis)

• REDIS_HOST - Redis server host (default: redis)
• REDIS_PORT - Redis server port (default: 6379)
• REDIS_PASSWORD - Redis authentication password (optional)
• REDIS_DB - Redis database number (default: 0)

Docker Integration

This MCP service communicates with your Laravel API and Redis running in Docker:

• Laravel Container Pattern: {APP_NAME}_{APP_ENV}_php
  • Default: kaipa_local_php
• Redis Container: redis service
  • Default connection: redis:6379

Make sure your Docker containers are running:

docker-compose up -d

Usage in Cursor

Once configured, you can:

1. View API routes: @laravel://routes
2. List models: @laravel://models
3. Run migrations: Execute artisan_command with migrate
4. Access configuration: @laravel://config
5. Manage Redis cache: Use Redis tools for cache operations
6. Monitor cache keys: Use redis_keys with patterns

Example Redis Operations

Cache user data:

redis_set({ key: "user:123:data", value: "{\"id\":123,\"name\":\"John\"}", ttl: 86400 })

Retrieve cached data:

redis_get({ key: "user:123:data" })

Find all session keys:

redis_keys({ pattern: "session:*" })

Clear cache on deploy:

redis_flush_db({})

Troubleshooting

• Docker connection error: Ensure Docker daemon is running and containers are active
• Redis not available: Check if Redis container is running. MCP continues to work without Redis
• Command timeout: Verify Laravel container is responding
• Route list empty: Verify Laravel application is properly initialized
