Laravel Forge Tools

The missing TypeScript SDK for Laravel Forge — plus an MCP server for AI agents.

The official Forge SDK exists only in PHP. This project fills the gap with a fully-typed TypeScript SDK and an MCP server that puts every Forge endpoint in the hands of AI agents.

Packages

Package	Description
@studiometa/forge-sdk	Fluent, chainable TypeScript SDK for Laravel Forge
@studiometa/forge-cli	CLI tool for managing Forge servers, sites, and more
@studiometa/forge-mcp	MCP server for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients
@studiometa/forge-core	Shared business logic — executor functions with DI
@studiometa/forge-api	Internal API client, types, config, and rate limiter

Quick Start

CLI

npm install -g @studiometa/forge-cli

# Save your API token
forge config set YOUR_FORGE_TOKEN

# List all servers
forge servers list

# List sites on a server
forge sites list --server 123

# Deploy a site
forge deployments deploy --server 123 --site 456

# Get JSON output (for scripting and AI agents)
forge servers list --format json

SDK

npm install @studiometa/forge-sdk

import { Forge } from "@studiometa/forge-sdk";

const forge = new Forge("your-api-token");

// List all servers
const servers = await forge.servers.list();

// Deploy a site
await forge.server(123).site(456).deploy();

// Get environment variables
const env = await forge.server(123).site(456).env.get();

// Manage databases
const dbs = await forge.server(123).databases.list();

MCP Server (Claude Desktop)

npm install -g @studiometa/forge-mcp

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forge": {
      "command": "forge-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FORGE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Two tools with a clear safety split:

• forge — read-only operations (list, get, resolve, context, help, schema) — auto-approvable
• forge_write — write operations (create, update, delete, deploy, reboot, restart, activate, run, batch, etc.) — always requires confirmation

Key MCP features:

• Auto-resolve — pass a server/site name instead of a numeric ID and the MCP server resolves it automatically
• Batch operations — use the batch resource to run multiple actions in a single tool call
• Context dump — the context action returns a structured snapshot of your Forge account for fast AI reasoning

For a read-only setup (no writes possible), use "args": ["--read-only"] or FORGE_READ_ONLY=true.

Getting Your API Token

1. Log into Laravel Forge
2. Go to Account → API Tokens
3. Create a new token with the scopes you need
4. Copy the token (it's only shown once)

Requirements

• Node.js 18+ (SDK and API packages)
• Node.js 24+ (for development)
• Laravel Forge account with API access

Architecture

forge-api   → (nothing)       # HTTP client, types, config, rate limiter
forge-sdk   → forge-api       # Fluent chainable SDK (the hero package)
forge-core  → forge-api       # Executors with DI for MCP and CLI
forge-mcp   → forge-core      # MCP server (stdio transport)
forge-cli   → forge-core      # CLI tool (human + AI agent use)
            → forge-api
