Laravel Boost is your new AI coding starter kit, designed to make working with AI agents better. It does this by feeding them Laravel specific data to help them write higher quality code. Ashley Hindle described it as, "Boost helps guide the AI to do better".
Announced at Laracon US it includes three main features:
- Provides a Laravel-specific MCP Server: 15 tools to help you in your day-to-day work. Your AI agent can query the database, run code through Tinker, or search through documentation
- Version-specific documentation: All the Laravel ecosystem docs have been ingested and vectorised, and so should have fewer hallucinations. This includes things like Inertia, Livewire, Flux, Filament, etc. So you get the most relevant information.
- Laravel maintained AI guidelines: It can create your Cursor rules, Junie guidelines, Github Co-Pilot instructions, and your Claude.md files. The team has manually curated those guidelines, including version-specific ones, for Laravel. e.g., guidelines for Inertia 1 or 2 to help the AI agent behave appropriately in your projects.
You can check out the Github repo for Boost and start using it now.
