laravel-forge-mcp

Laravel Forge MCP server — full Forge API v2 coverage for AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol.

This server uses the official JSON:API v2 endpoints (https://forge.laravel.com/api). It does not use the legacy v1 API (/api/v1).

Features

• ~270 tools covering servers, sites, deployments, databases, backups, PHP, services, teams, roles, recipes, and more
• Cursor pagination, filtering, sorting, and relationship includes
• Automatic rate-limit retry (429 + Retry-After)
• Organization-scoped paths with optional default org via FORGE_ORGANIZATION

Requirements

• Node.js >= 20
• A Forge API token

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
FORGE_API_TOKEN	Yes	Bearer token from Forge API settings
FORGE_ORGANIZATION	No	Default organization slug for org-scoped tools

FORGE_API_KEY is accepted as a silent alias for FORGE_API_TOKEN.

Install
