Laravel Boost

[haughty pewter]

I add Laravel Boost to mcp.json

{
    "servers": {
        "Laravel Boost": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "php",
            "args": [
                "artisan",
                "boost:mcp"
            ]
        }
    },
    "inputs": []
}

but when I ask Kilo

do you now have access to the laravel boost mcp server?

Gemini responds

I can confirm that Laravel Boost is installed and I can see the boost commands via php artisan list boost. I also see the GEMINI.md guidelines which instruct me to use specific skills.

However, I do not have direct access to the Laravel Boost MCP tools (such as activate_skill or other specialized tools) in my current toolset. I only have access to the standard set of tools (file operations, terminal execution, etc.).

It seems that while the project is configured for Boost, the MCP server's tools have not been exposed to me as native function calls in this session.

Any tips?

I've tried all sorts of edits to .gemini/setting.json in the project with no luck ...

Yes, the current configuration in settings.json is syntactically valid and correctly structured for an MCP server definition. It specifies the absolute paths for the php executable and the artisan script, along with the boost:mcp command as arguments.

The issue does not appear to be with the validity of the configuration itself, but rather with the tools exposed by the Laravel Boost MCP server not being accessible to my environment as callable functions.
