README

A powerful MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Laravel Telescope, providing real-time monitoring, performance analysis, and debugging through Claude Code and other MCP clients.

Features

• STDIO & HTTP Support - Use with Claude Code (stdio) or any HTTP client
• Route Type Filtering - Separate analysis for API vs Web routes (including Filament panels)
• Performance Monitoring - Request times, query analysis, N+1 detection
• Health Scoring - Context-aware health scores with different thresholds per route type
• Exception Tracking - Monitor and analyze application errors
• Queue Monitoring - Track job execution and failures
• Cache Analysis - Hit rates and operation tracking

Installation

composer require skylence/laravel-telescope-mcp

Publish configuration (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=telescope-mcp-config

Configuration

Claude Code (STDIO Mode)

Add to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "telescope": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "php",
      "args": ["artisan", "mcp:start", "telescope"]
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

TELESCOPE_MCP_ENABLED=true
TELESCOPE_MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=false
TELESCOPE_MCP_SLOW_REQUEST_MS=1000
TELESCOPE_MCP_SLOW_QUERY_MS=100

Route Type Filtering

Routes are automatically categorized by middleware for separate analysis:

// config/telescope-mcp.php
'overview' => [
    'route_groups' => [
        'api' => [
            'middleware' => ['api'],
        ],
        'web' => [
            'middleware' => ['web', 'panel:*'], // Includes Filament panels
        ],
    ],
    'thresholds' => [
        'api' => [
            'slow_request_ms' => 500,      // APIs should be fast
            'acceptable_error_rate' => 0.01,
        ],
        'web' => [
            'slow_request_ms' => 1500,     // Web pages can be slower
            'acceptable_error_rate' => 0.05,
        ],
    ],
],

The panel:* wildcard matches Filament panel middleware (e.g., panel:app, panel:admin).

Available Tools

telescope_overview

System health overview with performance metrics and route breakdown.

telescope_overview(period="1h", route_type="all", include_breakdown=true)

requests

HTTP request analysis with filtering by route type.

requests(action="stats", route_type="api", period="1h")
requests(action="slow", route_type="web", min_duration=1000)

queries

Database query analysis and N+1 detection.

queries(action="stats", period="1h")
queries(action="slow", min_time=100)
queries(action="duplicates")

exceptions

Exception and error tracking.

exceptions(action="list", period="24h")
exceptions(action="stats")

jobs

Queue job monitoring.

jobs(action="stats", period="1h")
jobs(action="failed")

cache

Cache operation analysis.

cache(action="stats", period="1h")

logs

Application log entries.

logs(action="list", level="error", period="1h")

Quick Examples

Health check:

telescope_overview(period="1h", route_type="all")

API-specific monitoring:

telescope_overview(period="1h", route_type="api")
requests(action="stats", route_type="api")

Find slow endpoints:

requests(action="slow", route_type="api", min_duration=500)

Detect N+1 queries:

queries(action="duplicates", period="1h")

Health Scoring

Health scores (0-100) are calculated with context-aware thresholds:

API and web routes use different thresholds - APIs are judged more strictly.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Laravel 10, 11, or 12
• Laravel Telescope
