Filament MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools, prompts, and resources for working with Filament - the Laravel admin panel framework.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants to help developers build Filament admin panels by providing:

• Component Reference: Access to Filament form, table, and infolist component documentation

• Code Generation: Generate implementation plans for Filament resources

• Documentation Lookup: Fetch and search official Filament documentation

• Namespace Lookup: Get correct PHP namespaces for Filament classes

• Command Reference: List available Filament artisan commands

• Relationship Helpers: Laravel Eloquent relationship type references

Supports both Filament v4.x and v5.x.

Requirements

• Node.js: v20.10.0 or higher

• npm: v9.0.0 or higher (or pnpm v8.0.0+)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

cd filament-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

Building

Compile TypeScript to JavaScript:

npm run build

This compiles the source from src/ to dist/. The main entry point is dist/index.js.

Running

Development Mode

Watch for changes and rebuild automatically:

npm run dev

Production Mode

Run the compiled server:

npm start

Stdio Mode

The server uses stdio transport by default. This allows it to communicate with MCP clients over standard input/output streams. The server starts and waits for JSON-RPC messages from the client.

MCP Integration

To use this server with MCP-compatible AI assistants, you need to register it as an MCP server. Below are configuration examples for popular clients.

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filament": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/filament-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

or

(I prefer npx)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filament": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/filament-mcp-server"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Replace `/absolute/path/to/filament-mcp-server` with the actual path to this project.

### Cursor

1. Open Cursor settings
2. Navigate to **Features** → **MCP**
3. Add a new MCP server with the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filament": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/filament-mcp-server/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Other MCP Clients

For other MCP-compatible assistants, configure them to spawn a child process using:

node /path/to/filament-mcp-server/dist/index.js

The server communicates via stdio using JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.

Available Tools

The server provides the following MCP tools:

Tool Parameters

• version: All tools support a version parameter ("4.x" or "5.x") to target specific Filament versions. Defaults to "5.x".

• component: Component name (e.g., TextInput, Select, Table)

• category: Component category (forms, tables, infolists, actions, schemas, support)

• classType: Filament class type (model, resource, widget, relation_manager, etc.)

• description: What you want to build (used for plan generation)

Available Prompts

The server provides the following MCP prompts for common tasks:

Available Resources

The server provides the following MCP resources:

Configuration

Version Targeting

Most tools accept an optional version parameter to target Filament v4 or v5:

// Example tool call with version
{
  tool: "filament_get_component",
  arguments: {
    component: "TextInput",
    version: "5.x"  // or "4.x"
  }
}

Namespace Mapping

The server includes predefined namespace mappings for different Filament class types:

Testing

Run tests with Vitest:

npm test

Run tests in watch mode:

npm run test:watch
