Laravel Telescope MCP

An extension for Laravel Telescope that exposes telemetry data via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to AI assistants (e.g., Cursor, Claude, Copilot Chat). Ideal for developers who use Telescope to inspect application metrics and require quick, precise insights.

Overview

Telescope MCP translates natural-language queries into MCP operations, retrieves Telescope records, and returns concise responses. This enables developers to query logs, slow queries, HTTP requests, exceptions, jobs, and more using an AI interface.

Installation

Make sure you have Laravel Telescope properly installed and configured in your application before proceeding

Add the package via Composer:

composer require lucianotonet/laravel-telescope-mcp

Publish the configuration (optional):

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LucianoTonet\TelescopeMcp\TelescopeMcpServiceProvider"

Update your .env (optional):
```
TELESCOPE_MCP_ENABLED=true
TELESCOPE_MCP_PATH=telescope-mcp
```
You can now verify the installation by accessing http://localhost:8000/telescope-mcp/manifest.json in your browser

Connecting an AI Client

For Cursor (example):

Open Cursor command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P).
Run View: Open MCP Settings.

Add this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Laravel Telescope MCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", 
        "mcp-remote", 
        "http://localhost:8000/telescope-mcp",
        "--allow-http"
      ],
      "env": { "NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED": "0" }
    }
  }
}

Make sure the URL matches your .env configuration, combining APP_URL with TELESCOPE_MCP_PATH

For HTTPS, you can omit --allow-http and NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Laravel Telescope MCP": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", 
        "mcp-remote", 
        "https://example.com/telescope-mcp"            
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage Examples

"Using your MCP tools, fetch the last 5 error logs."
"Identify SQL queries longer than 100ms in the past twenty minutes."
"Show all last failed jobs."
"Summarize HTTP requests with status >=500 since last hour."

The AI will parse the query, call the MCP endpoint, analyze results, and return a summary.

Endpoint Path: Customize TELESCOPE_MCP_PATH or modify in config/telescope-mcp.php.
Logging: Enable or disable internal MCP logging.
Timeouts & Limits: Adjust request timeouts and payload limits as needed.
