Laravel Boost in PhpStorm uses global msp.json instead of workspace msp.json

Description

It may not the bug of boost but how can I use it in this situation ?

When using Laravel Boost inside PhpStorm (with GitHub Copilot enabled), the plugin is using the global msp.json config from ~/config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json instead of the workspace config located in the project root. And there are no mcp.json inside .github directory

Because of this, the working directory is incorrect, and ./artisan cannot be found.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create laravel project and install boost.
2. Open project from PhpStorm.
3. Try to add MCP server from Github Copilot.
4. It will open the mcp.json from ~/config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json and there is no mcp.json for .github

I'm running into the same issue, would love some help

I have the same issue here to.

I had to manually add the MCP to ~/config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json also, as even though I didn't select it (as I don't use it), it installed the MCP into the Junie folder, and I had to copy this over.

Haven't tested it yet, but a short term work around, could adding the MCP multiple times:

{
    "servers": {
        "laravel-boost-project-1": {
            "command": "php",
            "args": [
                "/path/to/project-1/artisan",
                "boost:mcp"
            ]
        },
        "laravel-boost-project-2": {
            "command": "php",
            "args": [
                "/path/to/project-1/artisan",
                "boost:mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Then just enable the one you want
