# Laravel Boost for Winter CMS
This plugin integrates [Laravel Boost](https://github.com/laravel/boost) and [Laravel MCP](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/mcp) into Winter CMS, providing AI development tools with Winter CMS-specific context and capabilities.
## Features
### Winter CMS MCP Tools
This plugin provides several MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools specifically designed for Winter CMS development:
- **`winter-project-overview`**: Get Winter CMS project overview: version, environment, theme, and plugin/component counts
- **`winter-project-structure`**: Get complete project structure: plugins, components, and backend controllers
- **`winter-scaffolding-commands`**: Guide to Winter CMS code generation commands
- **`winter-view-structure`**: Map view files and understand Winter CMS dual view system (Twig frontend, PHP backend)
- **`winter-development-guide`**: Architecture patterns, services, and best practices
### Documentation Integration
The plugin registers Winter CMS documentation sources with Laravel Boost's search system, enabling AI tools to search Winter CMS documentation including:
- General documentation
- Markup/Twig documentation
- UI documentation
- API documentation
### AI Guidelines Enhancement
Extends Laravel Boost's AI guidelines with Winter CMS-specific conventions:
- Plugin architecture patterns
- Component development best practices
- Backend controller conventions
- Model and migration patterns
- Theme and Twig usage guidelines
## Installation
1. Install Laravel Boost and Laravel MCP packages:
```bash
composer require laravel/boost laravel/mcp
```
2. The plugin will automatically register with Winter CMS once the dependencies are available.
## Usage
Once installed, AI development tools that support MCP (like Claude Code) will have access to Winter CMS-specific context and can search Winter CMS documentation directly.
The plugin automatically:
- Registers Winter CMS documentation sources
- Provides MCP tools for inspecting the Winter CMS installation
- Extends AI guidelines with Winter CMS conventions
## Requirements
- Winter CMS 1.3+
- PHP 8.1+
- Laravel Boost package
- Laravel MCP package
## AI Development Benefits
This plugin significantly improves AI-assisted development by:
1. **Contextual Awareness**: AI tools understand Winter CMS structure and conventions
2. **Documentation Access**: Direct search of Winter CMS documentation
3. **Project Inspection**: Tools can analyze plugin structure, themes, and components
4. **Best Practices**: AI follows Winter CMS conventions instead of generic Laravel patterns
## Development
This plugin follows Winter CMS plugin conventions:
- Main functionality in `Plugin.php`
- MCP Tool classes in `classes/Tools/` directory
- Language files in `lang/` directory
- Version tracking in `updates/version.yaml`
