Serving locally

If you'd rather run the server locally over stdio instead of over HTTP:

McpPlugin::make()->local()

This registers the server for two artisan commands:

php artisan mcp:start {panel-id}
php artisan mcp:inspector {panel-id}

mcp:start speaks stdio, which is what a desktop client launches directly. mcp:inspector opens the MCP Inspector against the same server, which is the quickest way to see the tool list your configuration actually produces.

If you have more than one local panel, set FILAMENT_MCP_LOCAL_PANEL to pick which one the commands use when you don't name a panel:

FILAMENT_MCP_LOCAL_PANEL=admin
