Adding Laravel Boost MCP to Antigravity

Unproofread notes

Laravel Boost is awesome as it makes your new projects AI-ready from the start, but the laravel-boost MCP wasn't working in Antigravity from the start. It worked in Cursor, but not in Antigravity initially... but I have finally found the fix for it.

First, here's what worked for me (I'm on macOS):

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "laravel-boost": {
            "command": "/Users/deepak/.config/herd-lite/bin/php",
            "args": [
                "/Users/deepak/Documents/laravel-test/artisan",
                "boost:mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

For your information, deepak is my laptop's username, and I was working in the /Documents/laravel-test folder at the time.

Please note that I installed Laravel on my device using CLI by following the steps explained on the official installation documentation page. First, installed PDF using /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://php.new/install/mac/8.4)" command and then Laravel using composer global require laravel/installer command.

But if you have installed PHP using Homebrew, then the command inside the above MCP JSON would be probably something like /opt/homebrew/opt/php@8.4/bin/php and then it should work.

I got some ideas for getting the MCP working from this discussion, but it didn't work directly and I still had to try a bunch of different things.
