- Laravel: ^11.0

## Official documentation

**[Go to the official documentation](https://neuron.inspector.dev/)**

## Install

Install the latest version of the package:

```bash
composer require settled/mcp-laravel
```

## Create an Agent

MCP for Laravel provides you with the Agent class you can extend to inherit the main features of the framework,
and create fully functional agents. This class automatically manages some advanced mechanisms for you such as memory,
tools and function calls, up to the RAG systems. Let's create the first agent, extending the `Settled\MCP\Agent` class:

```php
use Settled\MCP\Agent;
use Settled\MCP\SystemPrompt;
use Settled\MCP\Providers\AIProviderInterface;
use Settled\MCP\Providers\Anthropic\Anthropic;

class YouTubeAgent extends Agent
{
    public function provider(): AIProviderInterface
    {
        return new Anthropic(
            key: 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY',
            model: 'ANTHROPIC_MODEL',
        );
    }

    public function instructions(): string
    {
        return new SystemPrompt(
            background: ["You are an AI Agent specialized in writing YouTube video summaries."],
            steps: [
                "Get the url of a YouTube video, or ask the user to provide one.",
                "Use the tools you have available to retrieve the transcription of the video.",
                "Write the summary.",
            ],
            output: [
                "Write a summary in a paragraph without using lists. Use just fluent text.",
                "After the summary add a list of three sentences as the three most important take away from the video.",
            ]
        );
    }
}
```

The `SystemPrompt` class is designed to take your base instructions and build a consistent prompt for the underlying model
reducing the effort for prompt engineering.

## Talk to the Agent

Send a prompt to the agent to get a response from the underlying LLM:

```php
$agent = YouTubeAgent::make();

$response = $agent->run(new UserMessage("Hi, I'm Valerio. Who are you?"));
echo $response->getContent();
// I'm a friendly YouTube assistant to help you summarize videos.


$response = $agent->run(
    new UserMessage("Do you know my name?")
);
echo $response->getContent();
// Your name is Valerio, as you said in your introduction.
```

As you can see in the example above, the Agent automatically has memory of the ongoing conversation. Learn more about memory in the [documentation](https://docs.neuron-ai.dev/chat-history-and-memory).

## Supported LLM Providers

With Neuron you can switch between LLM providers with just one line of code, without any impact on your agent implementation.
Supported providers:

- Anthropic
- Ollama (also available as an [embeddings provider](https://docs.neuron-ai.dev/components/embeddings-provider#ollama))
- OpenAI
- Mistral
- Deepseek

## Tools & Function Calls

You can add the ability to perform concrete tasks to your Agent with an array of `Tool`:

```php
use NeuronAI\Agent;
use NeuronAI\SystemPrompt;
use NeuronAI\Providers\AIProviderInterface;
use NeuronAI\Providers\Anthropic\Anthropic;
use NeuronAI\Tools\Tool;
use NeuronAI\Tools\ToolProperty;

class YouTubeAgent extends Agent
{
    public function provider(): AIProviderInterface
    {
        return new Anthropic(
            key: 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY',
            model: 'ANTHROPIC_MODEL',
        );
    }

    public function instructions(): string
    {
        return new SystemPrompt(
            background: ["You are an AI Agent specialized in writing YouTube video summaries."],
            steps: [
                "Get the url of a YouTube video, or ask the user to provide one.",
                "Use the tools you have available to retrieve the transcription of the video.",
                "Write the summary.",
            ],
            output: [
                "Write a summary in a paragraph without using lists. Use just fluent text.",
                "After the summary add a list of three sentences as the three most important take away from the video.",
            ]
        );
    }

    public function tools(): array
    {
        return [
            Tool::make(
                'get_transcription',
                'Retrieve the transcription of a youtube video.',
            )->addProperty(
                new ToolProperty(
                    name: 'video_url',
                    type: 'string',
                    description: 'The URL of the YouTube video.',
                    required: true
                )
            )->setCallable(function (string $video_url) {
                // ... retrieve the video transcription
            })
        ];
    }
}
```

## MCP server connector

Instead of implementing tools manually, you can connect tools exposed by an MCP server with the `McpConnector` component:

```php
use NeuronAI\Agent;
use NeuronAI\MCP\McpConnector;
use NeuronAI\Providers\AIProviderInterface;
use NeuronAI\Providers\Anthropic\Anthropic;
use NeuronAI\Tools\Tool;
use NeuronAI\Tools\ToolProperty;

class SEOAgent extends Agent
{
    public function provider(): AIProviderInterface
    {
        return new Anthropic(
            key: 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY',
            model: 'ANTHROPIC_MODEL',
        );
    }

    public function instructions(): string
    {
        return new SystemPrompt(
            background: ["Act as an expert of SEO (Search Engine Optimization)."]
            steps: [
                "Analyze a text of an article.",
                "Provide suggestions on how the content can be improved to get a better rank on Google search."
            ],
            output: ["Structure your analysis in sections. One for each suggestion."]
        );
    }

    public function tools(): array
    {
        return [
            // Connect an MCP server
            ...McpConnector::make([
                'command' => 'npx',
                'args' => ['-y', '@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything'],
            ])->tools(),

            // Implement your custom tools
            Tool::make(
                'get_transcription',
                'Retrieve the transcription of a youtube video.',
            )->addProperty(
                new ToolProperty(
                    name: 'video_url',
                    type: 'string',
                    description: 'The URL of the YouTube video.',
                    required: true
                )
            )->setCallable(function (string $video_url) {
                // ... retrieve the video transcription
            })
        ];
    }
}
```

## Implement RAG systems

For RAG use case, you must extend the `NeuronAI\RAG\RAG` class instead of the default Agent class.

To create a RAG you need to attach some additional components other than the AI provider, such as a `vector store`,
and an `embeddings provider`.

Here is an example of a RAG implementation:

```php
use NeuronAI\Providers\AIProviderInterface;
use NeuronAI\Providers\Anthropic\Anthropic;
use NeuronAI\RAG\Embeddings\EmbeddingsProviderInterface;
use NeuronAI\RAG\Embeddings\VoyageEmbeddingProvider;
use NeuronAI\RAG\RAG;
use NeuronAI\RAG\VectorStore\PineconeVectoreStore;
use NeuronAI\RAG\VectorStore\VectorStoreInterface;

class MyChatBot extends RAG
{
    public function provider(): AIProviderInterface
    {
        return new Anthropic(
            key: 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY',
            model: 'ANTHROPIC_MODEL',
        );
    }

    public function embeddings(): EmbeddingsProviderInterface
    {
        return new VoyageEmbeddingProvider(
            key: 'VOYAGE_API_KEY',
            model: 'VOYAGE_MODEL'
        );
    }

    public function vectorStore(): VectorStoreInterface
    {
        return new PineconeVectoreStore(
            key: 'PINECONE_API_KEY',
            indexUrl: 'PINECONE_INDEX_URL'
        );
    }
}
```
