Manage Laravel Forge servers, sites, and deployments from your AI assistant. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Laravel Forge connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For Laravel developers who host their sites on servers managed with Laravel Forge.
Lists your organizations and the servers in one, then the sites on a server, so you can see what runs where.
Reads the deployment status and history of a site and the log of one deployment, so you can see where it went wrong.
Lists the cron jobs, the database schemas and the monitors (CPU, disk and similar) of a server in one summary.
Reads a server's details and its provisioning and activity events, so you can see what happened to it lately.
Starts a new deployment of a site, which runs its deployment script, then checks the status of that deployment.
Changes dataRuns a command you give in the directory of a site on its server. It can run any command, so check it before you confirm.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Laravel Forge API token.
Find it in Laravel Forge → API dashboard (forge.laravel.com/user-profile/api). Your token is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"laravel-forge": {
"url": "https://laravel-forge.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"laravel-forge": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://laravel-forge.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Laravel Forge API token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Pro | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+ | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Laravel Forge server only. Ask your AI to run laravel_forge_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with laravel_forge_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with laravel_forge_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Laravel Forge. The server calls the Laravel Forge API with your own Laravel Forge access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Laravel Forge API token. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Laravel Forge API token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Laravel Forge API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Laravel Forge.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 17 Laravel Forge tools can create or change data. The other 15 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Laravel Forge server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run laravel_forge_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run laravel_forge_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run laravel_forge_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with laravel_forge_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
