Laravel Releases Nightwatch MCP Server for Claude Code and AI Agents image

Laravel Nightwatch MCP Is Live!

The Laravel team has announced that Laravel Nightwatch MCP is now available, bringing AI-assisted debugging and issue resolution directly into your workflow.

With Nightwatch MCP, developers can fix and investigate problems simply by chatting with tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, or other compatible agents. The MCP server exposes application context in a structured way so AI tools can help diagnose issues more effectively.

What Is Nightwatch MCP?

Nightwatch MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with your Laravel application to provide rich runtime context to AI agents. This allows you to ask questions about errors, investigate failures, and resolve issues without manually digging through logs or code paths.

The goal is to streamline troubleshooting by letting your AI tooling understand your app’s environment and guide you toward fixes.

Getting Started

If you’re already using Laravel Boost, getting up and running is straightforward:

composer update
php artisan boost:install

From there, you can connect your preferred AI agent and start interacting with your application through Nightwatch.
