How to Use the Laravel Excellence Prover MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does the Laravel Excellence Prover keep Windsurf Cascade from writing bad SQL?

It uses the validatelaravelexcellence tool to inspect Eloquent relationships and query structures. When Cascade attempts to generate a query, this tool checks for eager loading and forces the agent to rewrite lazy-loaded relationships.

Q: How do I add Laravel Excellence Prover to my Windsurf configuration?

Open your mcpconfig.json file and add the server under the mcpServers key with your Vinkius endpoint token. You can also use the built-in MCP Marketplace inside the IDE for a quick connection.

Perplexity

Run architectural sanity checks on autopilot

The `validate_laravel_excellence` tool integrates directly into Cascade's multi-step execution loops to analyze your PHP files. It scans your controllers, models, and service classes to ensure you are not bypassing framework conventions or writing raw queries where Eloquent scopes belong. Cascade reads this analysis, plans the necessary refactoring steps, and rewrites the files to use FormRequests and dedicated service classes. You do not have to prompt for each individual change because the agent handles the entire sequence.

Kill N+1 query loops before they hit staging

The `validate_laravel_excellence` tool intercepts lazy-loading patterns in your models and views before they degrade database performance. It forces your agent to implement eager loading via the `with` method and checks for explicit column selection to minimize memory usage. With this MCP Server connected, Cascade automatically refactors your Eloquent queries to use chunking or cursor pagination for large datasets. It blocks lazy loading globally during development so you catch database bottlenecks in real time.

Guard your models from mass assignment in Windsurf

The `validate_laravel_excellence` tool acts as a strict security linter that flags unsafe model unguarding and raw request inputs. It forces the generation of explicit `$fillable` arrays and demands the use of `$request->validated()` instead of exposing raw input data. Cascade uses these rules to structure your data layer, ensuring that sensitive fields remain protected. It replaces loose controller inputs with validated data structures without you needing to write the boilerplate yourself.
