Laravel Boost Reflector extends the [Laravel Boost MCP server](https://github.com/laravel/boost) with powerful PHP class reflection and analysis capabilities. It provides three specialized tools for deep code introspection, enabling code analysis, documentation generation, refactoring planning, and architecture understanding.

Built on top of [Roave BetterReflection](https://github.com/Roave/BetterReflection), this package offers fast class discovery with advanced filtering, comprehensive API introspection including inherited members, and dependency usage analysis across your entire codebase—including vendor packages.

Whether you're exploring Laravel's Eloquent API, planning a major refactoring, generating documentation, or analyzing architectural dependencies, Laravel Boost Reflector provides the metadata you need with precision and performance.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require bfg/laravel-boost-reflector
```

The package will automatically register its MCP tools with Laravel Boost.

### class-list

[](#class-list)

Fast discovery of PHP classes with powerful filtering capabilities. Perfect for finding classes that match specific criteria like traits, interfaces, or methods.

**Find all Eloquent models with HasFactory trait:**

```
{
  "path": "app/Models",
  "has_trait": "Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\Factories\\HasFactory"
}
```

**Find all controllers:**

```
{
  "path": "app/Http/Controllers",
  "recursive": true
}
```

**Find classes with boot() method:**

```
{
  "path": "app",
  "has_method": "boot",
  "limit": 20
}
```

**Example output structure:**

```
[
  {
    "file": "/path/to/app/Models/User.php",
    "name": "App\\Models\\User",
    "parent": "Illuminate\\Foundation\\Auth\\User",
    "interfaces": ["Illuminate\\Contracts\\Auth\\MustVerifyEmail"],
    "traits": [
      "Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\Factories\\HasFactory",
      "Illuminate\\Notifications\\Notifiable"
    ],
    "docblock": "User model representing authenticated users"
  }
]
```

**Parameters:**

- `path` (required) - Directory to scan
- `has_trait` - Filter by trait (full namespace)
- `has_interface` - Filter by interface (full namespace)
- `has_method` - Filter by method name
- `recursive` - Scan subdirectories (default: true)
- `limit` - Maximum results to return
- `offset` - Skip first N results

**Use cases:**

- Find all Eloquent models with specific traits (SoftDeletes, HasFactory)
- Locate all controllers or middleware in your application
- Discover classes implementing specific interfaces (ShouldQueue, Responsable)
- Identify classes with specific methods for refactoring

      "parameters": [],
      "docblock": "Get all posts for the user"
    }
  ],

      "visibility": "protected",
      "type": "array",
      "default": ["name", "email", "password"]
    }
  ]
}
```

```
{
  "target": "App\\Models\\User",
  "path": "app"
}
```

  "target": "App\\Http\\Controllers\\Controller",
  "usage_types": ["extends"]
}
```
