README

This is a read-only mirror, auto-published from phpclaw-monorepo. Please open issues and pull requests there, not here.

Give your Laravel app an agent, not a chatbot.

An agent engine with tools, guards and memory, native to Artisan, DI and queues. Laravel 10 to 13, PHP 8.1+.

Most "AI in Laravel" setups mean gluing an HTTP client to your app and hoping the prompt holds up. phpClaw is a real dependency: autowired via the container, driven by Artisan, backed by your database, with tools that actually query your application instead of guessing.

Ask it something and it picks a tool, runs it against your live app, and answers with real data. No fine-tuning, no separate service to run.

Just ask

> How many users signed up this week?
> Show me the last 20 failed jobs
> What's in the cache under the "settings" key?
> List all registered API routes
> Summarise today's error log

CLI

The agent from your terminal, scriptable and CI-friendly:

php artisan phpclaw "how many users signed up this week?"
php artisan phpclaw "check queue health" --stream

Programmatic use

Autowired via the container. Inject ClawInterface anywhere:

use PhpClaw\Contracts\ClawInterface;

class DashboardController
{
    public function __construct(private readonly ClawInterface $phpclaw) {}

    public function summary()
    {
        return $this->phpclaw->send('Summarise this week\'s signups.')->text;
    }
}

REST API

Enabled by default (phpclaw.api.enabled, from PHPCLAW_API_ENABLED, which defaults to true); set it to false to close both routes. Two routes, under a configurable prefix (default /phpclaw):

POST /phpclaw/send                          synchronous agent run
POST /phpclaw/chat/stream                   streamed response

Both require an authenticated user: every conversation is stored against auth()->id(), and a caller only ever reaches their own conversations. Point phpclaw.api.middleware at the guard your app authenticates API callers with. Two things grant cross-user access, and both are off by default: the phpclaw.manage-all Gate ability, which denies unless your app defines it, and the PHPCLAW_ADMIN_IDS env list, whose user IDs bypass the Gate entirely.

Installation

composer require phpclaw/phpclaw-laravel

Set one provider key in .env (e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-…), then run your first agent:

php artisan phpclaw "how many users signed up this week?"

Full setup, configuration, and provider options are documented at phpclaw.ai/docs/adapters/laravel.

Key features

✅ Native Artisan CLI: phpclaw, phpclaw:mcp-server, phpclaw:about, phpclaw:guide, phpclaw:stats, phpclaw:jobs:list, phpclaw:jobs:status

✅ Database-backed memory: conversation + key-value drivers via the query builder, plus a cache-store driver

✅ 6 Laravel-native tools: database (read-only SELECT), log tail, route list, config read, cache inspect, queue status

✅ Telescope integration: every agent run, tool call, and guard block recorded for local debugging (auto-detected, off if Telescope isn't installed)

✅ REST API: on by default behind your API middleware, two endpoints: send and chat/stream. Set PHPCLAW_API_ENABLED=false to close them

✅ Multiple AI providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, Ollama, and any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint

✅ Conversation memory: context carries across a session by default

How it fits together

Laravel → phpClaw Laravel adapter (PhpClawServiceProvider) → phpClaw agent runtime → your configured AI provider
