It provides a framework-agnostic API for implementing MCP servers and clients in PHP — tools, resources, prompts, STDIO and HTTP transports, sessions, authorization, and both protocol eras (the initialize handshake and the stateless 2026-07-28 revision). This project represents a collaboration between the PHP Foundation and the Symfony project . It adopts development practices and standards from the Symfony project, including Coding Standards and the Backward Compatibility Promise . Until the first major release, this SDK is considered experimental , please see the roadmap for planned next steps and features. Protocol Conformance Measured weekly against the MCP Conformance Test Framework , as passing checks out of total. The 2026-07-28 scores run against the framework's alpha releases, so they move as upstream publishes new scenarios. Revision Server Client 2026-07-28 2025-11-25 Installation composer require mcp/sdk Build a server A server is a plain PHP class plus three lines of wiring: use Mcp \ Capability \ Attribute \ McpResource ; use Mcp \ Capability \ Attribute \ McpTool ; use Mcp \ Server ; use Mcp \ Server \ Transport \ StdioTransport ; class Calculator { /** * Adds two numbers. */ #[McpTool] public function add ( int $ a , int $ b ): int { return $ a + $ b ; } #[McpResource(uri: ' config://calculator/settings ' )] public function settings (): array { return [ ' precision ' => 2 ]; } } exit (Server:: builder () -> setServerInfo ( ' Calculator ' , ' 1.0.0 ' ) -> setDiscovery ( __DIR__ , [ ' . ' ], excludeDirs: [ ' vendor ' ]) -> build () -> run ( new StdioTransport ())); The walkthrough in First server explains each piece, and Try it with the Inspector shows it running. Build a client use Mcp \ Client ; use Mcp \ Client \ Transport \ StdioTransport ; $ client = Client:: builder () -> setClientInfo ( ' My Application ' , ' 1.0.0 ' ) -> build (); $ client -> connect ( new StdioTransport (command: ' php ' , args: [ ' /path/to/server.php ' ])); $ tools = $ client -> listTools (); $ result = $ client -> callTool ( ' add ' , [ ' a ' => 5 , ' b ' => 3 ]); $ client -> disconnect (); See Connecting to a server for transports, timeouts, and the handlers that answer server-initiated requests.
