     [ Building a Production-Ready Laravel MCP Server
------------------------------------------------

 ](https://mozex.dev/blog/13-building-a-production-ready-laravel-mcp-server) Every Laravel developer has seen the MCP hype by now. Laravel's tagline changed to "The clean stack for Artisans and agents." The laravel/mcp package landed, tutorials appeared overnight, and suddenly everyone's building weather tools. But those tutorials stop right where real questions start. How do you authenticate AI clients hitting your server? What happens when an agent sends garbage to a tool that writes to your database? Should you even use MCP, or is your REST API already enough? I've been digging into this for a project, and these are the decisions and patterns I wish someone had documented before I started.
