Some new updates to Flare: performance monitoring, better Livewire support, MCP server

Flare, the original error tracker built for Laravel, was launched on stage at Laracon EU 2019.

Since then, our team at Spatie has steadily improved it by adding integrations, better PHP / JavaScript support and lots of smaller quality-of-life updates.

I’m happy to share that our big new feature, Performance Monitoring, is now available for everyone to try! After quite the journey (read our ‘Lessons from the deep end’ below) and a lengthy beta, I can now truly say that Flare is the application monitoring tool for Laravel I've always wanted. We've kept the price the same, so you're basically getting two products for the price of one.

Some other recent updates to Flare: better Livewire support and an MCP server, so your AI agents can pull errors straight from Flare and fix them right inside your code editor.

* Blog post: [https://flareapp.io/blog/introducing-flares-next-big-feature-performance-monitoring](https://flareapp.io/blog/introducing-flares-next-big-feature-performance-monitoring)
* Lessons from the deep end: [https://flareapp.io/blog/lessons-from-the-deep-end](https://flareapp.io/blog/lessons-from-the-deep-end)
* MCP server: [https://flareapp.io/docs/flare/general/our-mcp-server](https://flareapp.io/docs/flare/general/our-mcp-server)

We’ve got a bunch more improvements in the works over the next few months. If you’ve used Flare before, I’d love to hear what you think so far, what could make it better? And if you haven’t tried it yet… which error tracker are you using now and why?

If you have any technical questions about how Flare works under the hood, I'm happy to answer those as well!

What would you like to see in a web framework?

Hi Peeps!

I'm not a PHP specialist myself but rather I build dev tools (open source). I am knee deep in building a next gen web framework (in Rust) with possible PHP bindings among other languages.

So, with this longish exposition out of the way, my question is - what are the requirements from your end, as developers for a framework ? What would you like to see, and what would you defintely not like to see? Any suggestions or recommendations?

What are you doing to make your project or codebase more AI-friendly for coding agents?

Pretty much what the noscript says. I want to spend some time improving the codebase and processes we have so coding agents like Claude Code or Junie can write higher-quality code that adheres to styling specs and is well-tested.

I've not done much so far outside of using Laravel Boost and customising the template a bit.

I feel like there could be more, though. When using AI it still sometimes uses the wrong code style or writes pretty bad code.


I'm open to tips!
