MCP

MCP for AI agents

If laravel/mcp is installed, the package registers a local MCP server named minimax, so AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …) can read the Minimax API directly.

How does this relate to Laravel Boost? Boost is itself an MCP server (exposing its own dev tools), not a client — it does not discover or absorb other Laravel MCP servers. Your AI agent is the client: point it at both the Boost server and this minimax server and it sees both toolsets. They run as two independent processes; neither aggregates the other.

It ships three read-only tools:

Tool	Arguments	Returns
list-organisations	—	Every org id + name the user can access.
list-resource	resource, org_id?	Rows from any org-scoped endpoint.
find-record	resource, id, org_id?	A single record by id.

Each call uses the configured MINIMAX_ORG_ID unless you pass org_id.

Start it

php artisan mcp:start minimax

Wire it into a client

Add the server to your MCP client config (.mcp.json / Claude Code):

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

Pair it with MINIMAX_FAKE=true to let an agent explore the API shape with no credentials.

Expose it over HTTP (optional)

The server is local (stdio) by default. To also serve it over HTTP for remote clients, publish the routes and uncomment the Mcp::web(...) line — protect it with auth middleware:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=minimax-ai-routes

Why read-only?

Write operations (issuing invoices, creating customers) have side effects, so they are intentionally left out of the MCP surface. Use the SDK in your own code for those.
