Tinkerwell 5 is all about AI-powered development without adding a new subscription to your stack. It ships with improved AI Code Completion, a compelling Conversational Mode and an MCP Server that allows AI tools like Claude, Cursor and others to use Tinkerwell. Set up the API key of your favorite AI service in the settings and start using Tinkerwell's AI tools.
MCP Server
The Tinkerwell 5 MCP Server is a powerful tool that allows you to connect AI services like Claude, Cursor and others to Tinkerwell. It enables these services to run code in Tinkerwell, making it a versatile tool for AI-assisted development. You can install and configure the MCP server with a simple click from the settings and it gets run automatically when needed
Conversational Mode
Tinkerwell 5 ships a new way to interact with your Laravel applications: Conversational Mode. This mode adds a chat sidebar to Tinkerwell, allowing you create code snippets in discussion with the AI of your choice – simply let them write code snippets for you.
AI Code Completion
The new code completion feature in Tinkerwell 5 is designed to be your perfect companion when working with Laravel applications – but it makes sure to stay out of your way. It uses an improved version of the language server for functions, variables and other known objects but it also allows you to trigger AI completions exactly when you need them.
