MCP Development

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Laravel MCP development
• Editing MCP tools
• UI apps in Laravel projects
• Mentions MCP apps

Example prompts

• “/mcp-development”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Check routes/ai.php for proper registration
2. 2Test tool via MCP client

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 247015e. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • php

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  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

MCP Development loads about 949 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 208 tokens; SKILL.md has 174 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~208

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~949

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~7.8k

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

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.

description

Use this skill for Laravel MCP development. Trigger when creating or editing MCP tools, resources, prompts, servers, or UI apps in Laravel projects. Covers: artisan make:mcp-* generators, routes/ai.php, Tool/Resource/Prompt/AppResource classes, schema validation, shouldRegister(), OAuth setup, URI templates, read-only attributes, MCP debugging, MCP UI apps, the x-mcp::app Blade component, createMcpApp(), default AppResource handle() auto-infers view from class name, Response::view(), AppMeta/Csp/Permissions/appMeta() configuration, #[RendersApp] attribute, Library enum for CDN libraries (Tailwind, Alpine), and host theming via CSS variables. Use this whenever the user mentions MCP apps, MCP UI, interactive MCP resources, styling MCP apps with Tailwind or Alpine, or building visual interfaces for AI agents.
