AureusERP MCP Plugin

This plugin adds MCP servers to AureusERP so AI clients (MCP Inspector, coding agents, ERP assistants) can use ERP tools securely.

What this plugin provides

Two MCP servers are exposed:

Dev Agent Server

| Transport | Endpoint / Command | Auth | |---|---|---| | stdio (artisan) | php artisan mcp:dev | None — local process | | HTTP | POST /mcp/dev | OAuth Bearer token |

Use the stdio transport for local AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) via .mcp.json. Use the HTTP transport for remote or OAuth-authenticated clients.

Tools: documentation search, plugin introspection, route discovery, model inspection, Filament resource listing, API resource discovery.

ERP Agent Server

| Transport | Endpoint | Auth | |---|---|---| | HTTP | POST /mcp/erp | OAuth Bearer token |

READ-ONLY business insights (34 tools across Sales, Purchases, Invoices, Accounting, Inventory, Projects). No stdio transport — this server requires authentication.

OAuth discovery + registration endpoints are also exposed (via Mcp::oauthRoutes()):

• GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/{path?}
• GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server/{path?}
• POST /oauth/register

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Laravel ^11
• Filament ^4
• laravel/mcp ^0.5
• laravel/passport ^13
• AureusERP plugin manager

Install

First, require the package via Composer:

composer require aureuserp/mcp

You can then complete the installation in two ways:

Option 1: Via Command Line

Run:

php artisan mcp:install

This command does the setup automatically:

• publishes CORS config (config/cors.php) if not already published
• publishes MCP OAuth authorization view (mcp-views)
• runs Passport API install scaffold (install:api --passport)
• ensures config/auth.php has MCP API guard/provider
• configures Passport authorization view from the MCP plugin service provider
• clears caches

Option 2: Via Web Plugin Manager

Navigate to the Plugin Manager in your AureusERP admin panel and install the MCP plugin from there.

Plugin install hook

If you install via plugin manager or composer, setup is auto-triggered from the plugin install command.

Transport: streamable-http (HTTP) / stdio (artisan)

Security

All ERP Agent server tools are READ-ONLY. They only retrieve data — no create, update, or delete operations. This ensures AI assistants can query business data safely without making changes to the system.

Example Usage

Connecting via an MCP client

Both servers can be registered in any MCP-compatible editor or AI agent that supports mcp.json / .mcp.json configuration (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, etc.).

{
    "servers": {
        "aureus-dev-mcp-server": {
            "command": "php",
            "args": [
                "artisan",
                "mcp:dev"
            ]
        },
        "aureus-erp-mcp-server": {
            "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp/erp",
            "type": "http"
        }
    }
}

File location — place this in .vscode/mcp.json (VS Code / GitHub Copilot), .cursor/mcp.json (Cursor), .mcp.json (Claude Code / project root), or wherever your editor reads its MCP server config.

| Server | Key | Transport | Auth | |---|---|---|---| | Dev Agent | aureus-dev-mcp-server | stdio — spawned via php artisan mcp:dev | None — local process | | ERP Agent | aureus-erp-mcp-server | HTTP — POST /mcp/erp | OAuth Bearer token |

The Dev server starts automatically as a subprocess — no OAuth setup required. The ERP server connects over HTTP using the URL of your running application; ensure it is authenticated via OAuth before use.

This is the same pattern used by Laravel Boost (boost:mcp).

Using with AI Assistants via HTTP (ERP Agent)

Ask natural language questions:

- "How many orders did we get this week?"
- "What is our total accounts receivable?"
- "Which products are low on stock?"
- "Show me our active projects"
- "What are the overdue invoices?"

Using with Coding Agents via stdio (Dev Agent)

- "How do I create a new plugin?"
- "What routes does the Sales plugin expose?"
- "What are the fillable fields on the Order model?"
- "List all Filament resources for the Inventory plugin"
- "What API resource classes exist for accounts?"

Using MCP Inspector

# Test Dev Agent server (stdio)
php artisan mcp:inspector aureuserp-dev

# Test Dev Agent server (HTTP)
php artisan mcp:inspector mcp/dev

# Test ERP Agent server (HTTP)
php artisan mcp:inspector mcp/erp

Transport: streamable-http (HTTP) / stdio (artisan)
