MCP

You can use MCP servers by setting them in SessionConfig.mcpServers. If you use Laravel Boost with Copilot CLI, also use laravel-boost-copilot-cli. It is known that 'type' => 'stdio' (or 'local') and 'tools' => ['*'] are required. Without these values, the server is not recognized as an MCP server. 
Artisan::command('copilot:mcp', function () {
    $config = new SessionConfig(
        mcpServers: [
            'laravel-boost' => [
                'type' => 'stdio',
                'command' => 'php',
                'args' => ['artisan', 'boost:mcp'],
                'tools' => ['*'],
            ],
        ],
    );

    Copilot::start(function (CopilotSession $session) {
        info('Starting Copilot with Laravel Boost MCP: '.$session->id());

        $prompt = 'Which MCPs are loaded? If laravel-boost is available, use application-info to fetch app details.';

        warning($prompt);

        $response = spin(
            callback: fn () => $session->sendAndWait($prompt),
            message: 'Thinking...',
        );

        note($response->content());
    }, config: $config);
});

MCP server status

MCP server status in a session can be one of the following:
StatusDescription
connectedConnected
failedConnection failed
needs-authAuthentication required
pendingWaiting for connection
disabledDisabled
not_configuredNot configured

Manage MCP server settings (Server RPC)

You can manage MCP server settings at server level, separately from sessions. 
use Revolution\Copilot\Facades\Copilot;
use Revolution\Copilot\Types\Rpc\McpConfigAddRequest;
use Revolution\Copilot\Types\Rpc\McpConfigRemoveRequest;
use Revolution\Copilot\Types\Rpc\McpConfigUpdateRequest;
use Revolution\Copilot\Types\Rpc\McpServerValue;

// Get configured MCP servers
$result = Copilot::client()->rpc()->mcp()->list();
foreach ($result->servers as $name => $config) {
    dump($name, $config->type, $config->command);
}

// Add MCP server
Copilot::client()->rpc()->mcp()->add(new McpConfigAddRequest(
    name: 'laravel-boost',
    config: new McpServerValue(
        type: 'stdio',
        command: 'php',
        args: ['artisan', 'boost:mcp'],
        tools: ['*'],
    ),
));

// Update MCP server
Copilot::client()->rpc()->mcp()->update(new McpConfigUpdateRequest(
    name: 'laravel-boost',
    config: new McpServerValue(
        type: 'stdio',
        command: 'php',
        args: ['artisan', 'boost:mcp', '--verbose'],
        tools: ['*'],
    ),
));

// Remove MCP server
Copilot::client()->rpc()->mcp()->remove(new McpConfigRemoveRequest(name: 'laravel-boost'));
