Lara Dashboard is a production-ready Laravel admin panel and headless CMS — a batteries-included Laravel boilerplate / starter kit with Users, Roles, Permissions (RBAC via Spatie), Modules, Settings, Translations, Posts & Pages, Media Library, REST API, MCP server for AI agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code), AI content generation, and a WordPress-style hooks system (via eventy) for extensibility.

Built for Laravel developers who want to ship admin dashboards, SaaS apps, CRMs and internal tools in hours, not weeks — without trading away Laravel idioms, testability or type-safety.

✨ Why Lara Dashboard?

• 🔐 Complete RBAC — Users, Roles, Permissions via Spatie, admin impersonation, social auth (Socialite), and 2FA-ready flows.
• 🧩 Modular Architecture — Self-contained modules via nwidart/laravel-modules. Install, enable, disable, zip and distribute with a single command.
• ⚡ CRUD Generator — php artisan module:make-crud scaffolds Model, Migration, Service, FormRequest, Controller, Datatable, Views, Routes, Menu and Tests in one pass.
• 📝 Full CMS — Posts, Pages, Categories, Tags, Media Library, visual block-based editor with drag-and-drop.
• 🤖 Develop & manage with AI (MCP) — Connect Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code to your site. Create posts, review CRM leads, send emails, search docs, clear cache, and run daily briefings from natural language — with token-based, permission-scoped access from Settings → MCP.
• ✍️ Inline AI content — Configure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and more via filter hooks. Generate and refine content inside the admin and builder.
• 📧 Email System — Inbound/outbound SMTP connections, visual email template builder, campaign tracking, notifications.
• 🌐 i18n Out-of-the-box — 21 languages preloaded, chunked translation management, one-click language adds.
• 🔌 REST API — Auto-documented with Scramble, Sanctum-auth, ready for mobile apps and SPAs.
• 🎨 Beautiful UI — Tailwind CSS v4, Alpine.js, dark/light mode, 60+ components, responsive on every breakpoint.
• 🪝 WordPress-style Hooks — Actions and filters everywhere so you can extend without forking.
• 🧪 Tests & Static Analysis — Pest, PHPStan (Larastan), Rector, Pint — all wired up out of the box.
• 📦 Zero-friction Deploy — cPanel/shared-hosting ready, ZIP distribution with vendor folder, one-click core upgrades with backup/restore.

🤖 Develop & Manage Your Site with AI (MCP)

Lara Dashboard ships a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI coding assistants can operate your site like a power user — not just write code about it.

Connect Cursor (Desktop or CLI), Claude Desktop, or Claude Code, generate an MCP agent token in Settings → MCP, and ask your assistant to manage day-to-day work: draft and publish posts, triage form submissions, update CRM records, send templated email, inspect logs, and more. Installed modules can expose their own tools through the McpFilterHook registry.

What you can do from Cursor, Claude, or similar clients

Area	Examples
Content	List, create, and update posts; generate SEO meta
CRM	Contacts, deals, tickets, and activities (CRM module)
Forms	Review new submissions and mark them viewed (Forms module)
Email	List templates and send mail to users or contacts
Operations	Daily briefing, clear cache, list storage log files
Docs	Search and read LaraDashboard guides (DocForge module)

Quick start

1. Open Settings → MCP, enable the MCP server, and save.
2. Click Generate MCP token and copy the token (shown once).
3. Add the server config to your AI client — the admin UI includes ready-made JSON for Cursor, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code.

Example config for Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json or project .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "laradashboard": {
      "url": "https://your-site.test/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_AGENT_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

For local development, you can store the token in an env var (LARADASHBOARD_MCP_TOKEN) and reference it from the config snippet in Settings → MCP.

Note: The MCP endpoint returns 404 until MCP is enabled in settings. Regular API login tokens do not work — use a dedicated MCP agent token with the abilities you choose.

📝 Changelog

Latest release: v1.5.2 • Full changelog → • All GitHub releases

[v1.5.2] — 2026-11-08

• Fix (Security): Ollama base URL is validated and Superadmin-only, closing an SSRF via generate-seo (GHSA-47pj-m4xp-74g5).
• Fix (Security): Secret settings (API keys, passwords, client secrets) are masked in the action log, including existing entries (GHSA-29v7-6x3j-r97q). Rotate secrets saved before this release.
• Fix (Security): Dashboard Quick Draft requires post.create (GHSA-p4mj-68rh-c24q).
• Fix: AI image generation works again after DALL-E 3's retirement; defaults to gpt-image-2.5-flare.

[v1.5.1] — 2026-11-05

• Fix (Security): Passwords are capped at 72 characters (bcrypt's limit) on registration, reset, profile and user forms; login accepts up to 255 so existing accounts still work.

📦 Distribution Package (Zip Build)

Create a production-ready zip package for distribution or manual upgrades. This package includes the vendor folder so users don't need Composer installed.

Using the Admin Panel:

1. For production distribution, first run: composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
2. Go to Settings → Core Upgrades
3. Click Create Backup
4. Select backup type (Core + Modules recommended)
5. Check Include vendor folder for production deployment
6. Download the generated zip file
7. Restore dev dependencies: composer install

Manual Zip Creation:

# Build all assets first
npm run build:all

# Install production-only dependencies (removes dev packages like Pest, PHPUnit, etc.)
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

# Create distribution zip (excludes node_modules, .git, tests, uploads, etc.)
zip -r laradashboard-v$(cat version.json | grep -o '"version": "[^"]*' | cut -d'"' -f4).zip \
    app bootstrap config database resources routes vendor Modules \
    public/.htaccess public/index.php public/favicon.ico public/robots.txt \
    public/asset public/backend public/build public/build-* public/css public/js public/images/logo \
    storage/app/.gitignore storage/app/public/.gitignore \
    storage/framework/.gitignore storage/framework/cache/.gitignore \
    storage/framework/sessions/.gitignore storage/framework/views/.gitignore \
    storage/logs/.gitignore \
    artisan composer.json composer.lock package.json version.json index.php \
    .env.example .htaccess vite.config.js tailwind.config.js postcss.config.js \
    -x "*.git*" -x "node_modules/*" -x "tests/*" -x "storage/logs/*" -x "public/images/uploads/*" -x "public/uploads/*"

# Restore dev dependencies for local development
composer install

Note: Running composer install --no-dev before creating the zip ensures the vendor folder only contains production dependencies, significantly reducing the package size.

What's included in the distribution package:

• app/ - Application code
• bootstrap/ - Bootstrap files
• config/ - Configuration files
• database/ - Migrations, seeders, factories
• public/ - Public assets (build, css, js, images)
• resources/ - Views, JS, CSS, lang files
• routes/ - Route definitions
• vendor/ - Composer dependencies (optional, for production)
• index.php - Root entry point for shared hosting (cPanel)
• .htaccess - Apache rewrite rules
• .env.example - Environment template
• Core config files (composer.json, package.json, etc.)

Shared Hosting (cPanel) Deployment:

The package includes index.php and .htaccess in the root directory, so it works out-of-the-box on shared hosting without changing document root:

# Upload all files to public_html/
# No need to change document root - just upload and configure .env

If you prefer the standard Laravel setup (recommended for VPS/dedicated servers):

1. Point your domain's document root to the public/ directory
2. Or create a symlink: ln -s /path/to/laradashboard/public /home/user/public_html

Fresh Installation from Zip:

# Extract the zip
unzip laradashboard-vX.X.X.zip -d laradashboard
cd laradashboard

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

# Update .env with your database credentials
# DB_DATABASE=your_database
# DB_USERNAME=your_user
# DB_PASSWORD=your_password

# Run migrations
php artisan migrate --seed
php artisan storage:link

# If vendor was not included, run:
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

http://localhost:8000/docs/api

<p align="right">(<a href="#readme-top">back to top</a>)</p>

Tests

We've used Laravel Pint, Rector, Larastan(PHPstan) - static analysis and Pest for unit tests, e2e (browser) tests.

composer run test

composer run test

Format: To format the code, we've used pint. You can run the following command to format the code:

composer run format

Type Safety: To improve type safety, we've used rector. You can run the following command to add type hints:

composer run type-check

You can also run individual commands for each tool (optional):

composer run pint
composer run phpstan
composer run pest

🛠️ Troubleshooting

<details> <summary><strong>Laragon/Windows: ext-sockets missing</strong></summary>

If you get this error during composer install:

pestphp/pest-plugin-browser requires ext-sockets * -> it is missing from your system

Fix: Enable the sockets extension in php.ini:

extension=sockets

Or via Laragon UI: Right-click tray → PHP → Extensions → check sockets

Quick workaround:

composer install --ignore-platform-req=ext-sockets
