Cats MTL
Provides transformer typeclasses for cats' Monads, Applicatives and Functors.
You can have multiple cats-mtl transformer typeclasses in scope at once without implicit ambiguity, unlike in pre-1.0.0 cats or Scalaz 7.
Usage
libraryDependencies += "org.typelevel" %% "cats-mtl" % "1.2.0"
If your project uses ScalaJS, replace the double-%
with a triple. Note that cats-mtl has an upstream dependency on cats-core version 2.x.
Cross-builds are available for Scala 2.12, 2.13, 3.0.0-M2, 3.0.0-M3, and ScalaJS major version 1.x.
If you're not sure where to start or what Cats MTL even is, please refer to the getting started guide.

Laws
The cats-mtl-laws artifact provides Discipline-style laws for all of the type classes defined in cats-mtl. It is relatively easy to use these laws to test your own implementations of these typeclasses. Take a look here for more.
libraryDependencies += "org.typelevel" %% "cats-mtl-laws" % "1.2.0" % Test
These laws are compatible with both Specs2 and ScalaTest.
