Documentation
MCP Server Documentation
Public documentation for the Model Context Protocol servers implemented in the Laravel13 application. Each subdirectory documents one production MCP server: endpoint, authentication, and available tools.
Routes are defined in Laravel13/routes/mcp.php. Each server has a dedicated controller under Laravel13/app/Http/Controllers/. OAuth discovery and token endpoints are shared across authenticated servers via Laravel13/app/Http/Controllers/McpAuth/OAuthController.php.
MCP Registry manifests
Each server folder includes a server.json for the official MCP Registry.
For monorepos, the MCP Registry requires:
repository.url — the git-cloneable repo root (same for every server in this repo)
repository.subfolder — the per-server directory (e.g. bankruptcy-observer)
websiteUrl — the published documentation page for that server on GitHub Pages
Older per-server documentation repos (for example nhd-mcp-public-documentation) may still exist; this repository is the consolidated source of truth derived from Laravel13.
GitHub Pages
This repo is configured for GitHub Pages via Jekyll (see _config.yml and .github/workflows/pages.yml).
Create a GitHub repo named mcp-documentation under the jmtroller account (or update _config.ymlurl / baseurl for your org).
Push this directory to the main branch.
In repo Settings → Pages, set Source to GitHub Actions.
The workflow publishes to https://<user>.github.io/mcp-documentation/.
