Description

I am running a Cursor IDE Workspace with multiple projects (various Laravel versions)

Install of BOOST worked great for Cursor: php artisan boost:install.

• Installed editors: Cursor, VS Code
• Setup AI guidelines for: Cursor
• Added 14 guidelines to my selected agents
• Installed MCP servers to my selected IDEs

When going to Cursor Settings > MCP Tools laravel-boost was ENABLED but showing No tools or prompts.

mcp.json was:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "laravel-boost": {
            "command": "php",
            "args": ["./artisan", "boost:mcp"]
        }
    }
}

Changed to:

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

Enabled MCP Tool again... and worked! the key was removing the ./ before artisan command

Perhaps add this to a troubleshooting guide or leave in CLOSED for future devs to reference.

Seems to be a bigger issue, it's not working for me, tested with the same lines.
