Usage
Basic Usage
use Scriptoshi\McpClient\Facades\McpClient;
// Start a new chat
McpClient::processRequest("What's the weather like?", $chatUuid);
Implementing a Custom Tool Server
Create a new server class that implements McpServerInterface:
use Scriptoshi\McpClient\Contracts\McpServerInterface;
class WeatherServer implements McpServerInterface
{
public function initialize(): array
{
return [
'serverInfo' => [
'name' => 'WeatherServer',
'version' => '1.0.0'
],
'capabilities' => [
'tools' => true
]
];
}
public function listTools(): array
{
return [
'tools' => [
[
'name' => 'get_weather',
'description' => 'Get current weather for a location',
'inputSchema' => [
'type' => 'object',
'properties' => [
'location' => [
'type' => 'string',
'description' => 'City name or coordinates'
]
],
'required' => ['location']
]
]
]
];
}
public function toolShouldQueue(string $toolname): bool
{
return false;
}
public function executeTool(string $name, array $arguments, LoggerInterface $logger): array
{
// Implement your tool logic here
}
}
Registering a Tool Server
You can register tool servers in your AppServiceProvider or create a dedicated service provider:
use Scriptoshi\McpClient\Facades\McpClient;
public function boot()
{
McpClient::registerServer('weather', new WeatherServer());
}
Using the Queue
For long-running tools, implement queueing:
public function toolShouldQueue(string $toolname): bool
{
return match($toolname) {
'long_running_process' => true,
default => false
};
}
Working with Chat History
use Scriptoshi\McpClient\Models\Chat;
// Find a chat by UUID
$chat = Chat::findByUuid($uuid);
// Get chat messages
$messages = $chat->messages;
// Get message responses
$responses = $message->responses;
// Get tool executions
$runners = $response->runners;
Error Handling
The package includes comprehensive error handling and logging:
$runner->error('Something went wrong', [
'context' => 'Additional error details'
]);
// Different log levels
$runner->info('Processing started');
$runner->warning('Resource usage high');
$runner->success('Operation completed');
Events
The package dispatches several events you can listen for:
MessageCreatedEventMessageProcessedEventMessageErrorEvent

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
