Laravel Boost is an MCP server that supplies AI coding assistants with Laravel-specific project context and structure. It is intended to support AI-assisted local Laravel development, and the catalogue entries provide skills for that workflow.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00124 | $0.00390 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00050 | $0.00156 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
pennant-development scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 15d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Pennant features
Documentation
Use search-docs for detailed Pennant patterns and documentation.
Basic usage
Defining features
use Laravel\Pennant\Feature;
Feature::define('new-dashboard', function (User $user) {
return $user->isAdmin();
});
Checking features
if (Feature::active('new-dashboard')) {
// Feature is active
}
// With scope
if (Feature::for($user)->active('new-dashboard')) {
// Feature is active for this user
}
Blade directive
@feature('new-dashboard')
<x-new-dashboard />
@else
<x-old-dashboard />
@endfeature
Activating and deactivating
Feature::activate('new-dashboard');
Feature::for($user)->activate('new-dashboard');
Verification
- Check that the feature flag is defined
- Test with different scopes and users
Common pitfalls
- Forgetting to scope features for specific users or other entities
- Not following existing naming conventions
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

pennant-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository laravel/boost (3,672 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 390 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
