Laravel Boost Update Adds Support for the New MCP Protocol

Published on January 9th, 2026 by Eric L. Barnes

According to Pushpak on X, if you are using an older version of Laravel Boost, you will want to upgrade as soon as possible.

Newer AI agents, including Claude Code, have dropped support for the legacy MCP protocol. To stay compatible, Laravel Boost has added support for the new MCP protocol in a recent release.

If you do not upgrade, you may start running into issues when using Boost alongside newer agent tools.

To update, run the following command:

composer require laravel/boost:1.8.9 -W --dev

This ensures your project is using the latest Boost release with support for the updated MCP protocol and avoids potential integration problems going forward.
