What it does
Laravel Plugin Discovery is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Discover and evaluate Laravel packages via LaraPlugins.io MCP. Use when the user wants to find plugins, check package health, or assess Laravel/PHP compatibility.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with Laravel, Model Context Protocol and PHP. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to find plugins
- Check package health
- Assess Laravel/PHP compatibility
Example prompts
- “/laravel-plugin-discovery”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use SearchPluginTool with relevant keywords
- Apply filters for health score, Laravel version, or PHP version
- Review the results with package names, descriptions, and health indicators
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json and typescript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
laraplugins.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Laravel Plugin Discovery loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 650 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Laravel Plugin Discovery
Find, evaluate, and choose healthy Laravel packages using the LaraPlugins.io MCP server.
When to Use
- User wants to find Laravel packages for a specific feature (e.g. "auth", "permissions", "admin panel")
- User asks "what package should I use for..." or "is there a Laravel package for..."
- User wants to check if a package is actively maintained
- User needs to verify Laravel version compatibility
- User wants to assess package health before adding to a project
MCP Requirement
LaraPlugins MCP server must be configured. Add to your ~/.claude.json mcpServers:
"laraplugins": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://laraplugins.io/mcp/plugins"
}No API key required — the server is free for the Laravel community.
MCP Tools
The LaraPlugins MCP provides two primary tools:
SearchPluginTool
Search packages by keyword, health score, vendor, and version compatibility.
Parameters:
text_search(string, optional): Keyword to search (e.g. "permission", "admin", "api")health_score(string, optional): Filter by health band —Healthy,Medium,Unhealthy, orUnratedlaravel_compatibility(string, optional): Filter by Laravel version —"5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13"php_compatibility(string, optional): Filter by PHP version —"7.4","8.0","8.1","8.2","8.3","8.4","8.5"vendor_filter(string, optional): Filter by vendor name (e.g. "spatie", "laravel")page(number, optional): Page number for pagination
GetPluginDetailsTool
Fetch detailed metrics, readme content, and version history for a specific package.
Parameters:
package(string, required): Full Composer package name (e.g. "spatie/laravel-permission")include_versions(boolean, optional): Include version history in response
How It Works
Finding Packages
When the user wants to discover packages for a feature:
- Use
SearchPluginToolwith relevant keywords - Apply filters for health score, Laravel version, or PHP version
- Review the results with package names, descriptions, and health indicators
Evaluating Packages
When the user wants to assess a specific package:
- Use
GetPluginDetailsToolwith the package name - Review health score, last updated date, Laravel version support
- Check vendor reputation and risk indicators
Checking Compatibility
When the user needs Laravel or PHP version compatibility:
- Search with
laravel_compatibilityfilter set to their version - Or get details on a specific package to see its supported versions
Examples
Example: Find Authentication Packages
SearchPluginTool({
text_search: "authentication",
health_score: "Healthy"
})Returns packages matching "authentication" with healthy status:
- spatie/laravel-permission
- laravel/breeze
- laravel/passport
- etc.
Example: Find Laravel 12 Compatible Packages
SearchPluginTool({
text_search: "admin panel",
laravel_compatibility: "12"
})Returns packages compatible with Laravel 12.
Example: Get Package Details
GetPluginDetailsTool({
package: "spatie/laravel-permission",
include_versions: true
})Returns:
- Health score and last activity
- Laravel/PHP version support
- Vendor reputation (risk score)
- Version history
- Brief description
Example: Find Packages by Vendor
SearchPluginTool({
vendor_filter: "spatie",
health_score: "Healthy"
})Returns all healthy packages from vendor "spatie".

Filtering Best Practices
By Health Score
| Health Band | Meaning |
|---|---|
Healthy | Active maintenance, recent updates |
Medium | Occasional updates, may need attention |
Unhealthy | Abandoned or infrequently maintained |
Unrated | Not yet assessed |
Recommendation: Prefer Healthy packages for production applications.
By Laravel Version
| Version | Notes |
|---|---|
13 | Latest Laravel |
12 | Current stable |
11 | Still widely used |
10 | Legacy but common |
5-9 | Deprecated |
Recommendation: Match the target project's Laravel version.
Combining Filters
// Find healthy, Laravel 12 compatible packages for permissions
SearchPluginTool({
text_search: "permission",
health_score: "Healthy",
laravel_compatibility: "12"
})Response Interpretation
Search Results
Each result includes:
- Package name (e.g.
spatie/laravel-permission) - Brief description
- Health status indicator
- Laravel version support badges
Package Details
The detailed response includes:
- Health Score: Numeric or band indicator
- Last Activity: When the package was last updated
- Laravel Support: Version compatibility matrix
- PHP Support: PHP version compatibility
- Risk Score: Vendor trust indicators
- Version History: Recent release timeline
Common Use Cases
| Scenario | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|
| "What package for auth?" | Search "auth" with healthy filter |
| "Is spatie/package still maintained?" | Get details, check health score |
| "Need Laravel 12 packages" | Search with laravel_compatibility: "12" |
| "Find admin panel packages" | Search "admin panel", review results |
| "Check vendor reputation" | Search by vendor, check details |
Best Practices
- Always filter by health — Use
health_score: "Healthy"for production projects - Match Laravel version — Always check
laravel_compatibilitymatches the target project - Check vendor reputation — Prefer packages from known vendors (spatie, laravel, etc.)
- Review before recommending — Use GetPluginDetailsTool for a comprehensive assessment
- No API key needed — The MCP is free, no authentication required
