Laravel Doctor is a diagnostics tool for applications built with the Laravel PHP framework. It runs a set of checks against a Laravel project and reports problems it finds, and it is designed so the same underlying checking engine can be used in several different ways: as a terminal command through Laravel's Artisan tool, through a browser based dashboard, through an HTTP API, through tools built for AI coding assistants using the Model Context Protocol, or directly from PHP code in your own project. Getting started involves installing the package through Composer and running a single Artisan command to scan the application. Results can also be viewed in a built in dashboard reachable from a browser, which is described as needing no separate build step and using lightweight front end tools. Scan results can be exported as JSON or as SARIF, a standard format used by code scanning tools, which makes the reports usable inside continuous integration pipelines and GitHub's own code scanning features. The documentation notes that some of its checks only look at static configuration and do not start up the full Laravel application, while other checks that do start the application are built to only read data rather than change anything. The tool also tries to hide values that look like secrets before including them in any report. The project's own notes caution against exposing the dashboard or the HTTP API on a shared or public environment without adding authentication in front of it. Laravel Doctor supports Laravel versions 11 through 13 and requires PHP 8.2 or newer. It is currently in public beta, and full setup and configuration instructions live in a separate hosted documentation site rather than in the repository itself. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
