An AI assistant for Laravel developers that provides access to the latest Laravel documentation and intelligent package recommendations through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This enables AI tools to help you build Laravel applications with up-to-date information and best practices.

## Overview

This server enables AI assistants to access Laravel documentation and package recommendations using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI tools to:

- Access and search Laravel documentation
- Receive package recommendations based on specific use cases
- Get implementation guidance for popular Laravel packages
- Automatically update documentation from Laravel's GitHub repository

## Installation

### Quick Install via Smithery

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @brianirish/laravel-docs-mcp --client claude
```

### Install from PyPI

```bash
pip install laravel-docs-mcp
```

### Docker

```bash
# Pull and run the latest version
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/brianirish/laravel-docs-mcp:latest

# Or run a specific version
docker run -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/brianirish/laravel-docs-mcp:v0.1.4
```

### Manual Installation from Source

#### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
- `uv` package manager (recommended)

#### Steps

1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/brianirish/laravel-docs-mcp.git
   cd laravel-docs-mcp
   ```

2. Set up environment and install dependencies:
   ```bash
   # Create and activate virtual environment
   uv venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
   # or

        result = await client.call_tool("list_docs", {})
        print(result)
        
        # Search documentation
        result = await client.call_tool("search_docs", {"query": "routing"})
        print(result)
        
        # Get package recommendations
        result = await client.call_tool("get_package_recommendations", 
                                       {"use_case": "implementing subscription billing"})
        print(result)
        
        # Read documentation

## Automated Workflows

This project includes several automated GitHub Actions workflows:

### Daily Documentation Updates
- **Trigger**: Every day at midnight UTC (can also be triggered manually)
- **Process**: Checks for Laravel documentation updates → Creates PR → Auto-merges → Creates patch version tag
- **Result**: Automatic patch releases when Laravel docs are updated

### Release Publishing
- **Trigger**: When version tags are pushed (e.g., `v0.1.4`)
- **Process**: Builds packages → Publishes to PyPI → Builds and pushes Docker images to GHCR
- **Result**: Synchronized releases across PyPI and Docker Hub

### Dynamic Versioning
- **Version Source**: Automatically derived from git tags using `hatch-vcs`
- **Development Builds**: Get unique identifiers (e.g., `0.1.3.dev1+g75aec71`)
- **Release Builds**: Clean version numbers matching tags (e.g., `0.1.4`)

## Features and Roadmap

Current Features:
- ✅ **Daily Documentation Updates**: Automatically syncs with Laravel's GitHub repository every day
