Open Source PHP AI Coding Tools for Linux

Boost is a Laravel-first toolkit that supercharges AI-assisted development by giving assistants structured, Laravel-aware context. At its core it runs as an MCP server that exposes a battery of Laravel-specific tools, so an AI agent can explore your app, inspect code and config, and take targeted actions instead of guessing. It ships opinionated, composable guidelines tuned for popular Laravel packages, which helps keep generated code idiomatic and consistent with framework norms. The package also curates a large body of vectorized Laravel ecosystem knowledge that’s scoped to what you’ve actually installed, improving retrieval precision and response quality. It’s designed to fit naturally into existing projects, supporting current Laravel releases and modern PHP runtimes with minimal setup. Rather than trying to replace your editor or framework, Boost acts like an intelligent layer that understands Laravel’s conventions and reduces the “explain my app to the AI” friction.
