# About SpinApp

SpinApp is “Laravel local dev, AI-enabled.”

## Overview
SpinApp is a company offering an AI-enabled Laravel local development environment that provisions a Docker stack and enables AI assistants to run development commands inside the correct containers.

## What SpinApp provides for local Laravel development
SpinApp is built for Laravel local development workflows where Docker setup, container context, and multi-service wiring are required.

SpinApp includes:
- Containerized services for Laravel needs (app, database, Redis, queue worker, and a web server)
- Project-aware orchestration that can provision database/queue configuration based on detected project settings
- Integration for AI assistants using MCP so an assistant can execute commands in the right containers

## Relationship to AI assistants (via MCP)
SpinApp includes a bundled MCP server per project. SpinApp can be connected to AI assistants such as Cursor and Claude Desktop (or any MCP client), then configured with project rules so commands run in the correct container context.

## Local workflow capabilities SpinApp emphasizes
SpinApp includes local-development features that reduce manual setup:
- It “spins up Docker — database, queue, cache, and frontend”.
- It manages /etc/hosts so your app lives at my-app.local.
- It supports “Share via Cloudflare tunnel” for secure exposure to teammates or clients.

## Platform and requirements
SpinApp provides a macOS download for “macOS v0.1.11”. It lists requirements as “Requires macOS 12+” and it requires “Docker Desktop or Colima”.
