Your HR System Just Got an AI Brain — Laravel MCP + Force HRM Full Build

Laravel MCP server tutorial | AI-powered HRM system | laravel/mcp | Force HRM | Claude AI | MCP tools | payroll automation | African SaaS | Laravel PHP 2025 I just gave my HR system an AI brain — and it works. 🤯 In this video, I built a full MCP (Model Context Protocol) server directly inside Force HRM, my Laravel-based HR and payroll platform, using the official laravel/mcp package. This means Claude AI, Kimi, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible AI agent can now add employees, run payroll, monitor contracts, record exits, and generate full HR analytics — just by talking to the system. No more clicking through dashboards. The AI does it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 Introduction — Building an MCP Server for Force HRM 02:30 What Force HRM Currently Looks Like (Live Demo) 05:45 The Idea: Using AI to Operate Force HRM via MCP 08:00 Writing the Initial Prompt in Notepad 12:15 Feeding the Prompt to Claude — Architecture Design 16:30 The MCP Infrastructure Diagram Explained 20:00 What If We Build MCP Inside Laravel?
