Quick brief

The official MCP PHP SDK gives PHP teams a concrete way to turn existing application capabilities into agent-callable tools, resources, prompts, and client integrations. Invoke this when an operator needs to connect a PHP business system to MCP-capable agents without rewriting the service in another language. The scope boundary is MCP implementation for PHP servers and clients; it is not a general PHP library listing or a broad MCP explainer.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Inputs and prerequisites: PHP, Composer, MCP-compatible host/client.

Setup notes: Install the SDK using the Composer instructions in the repository README, then implement the MCP server or client pattern that matches the PHP application capability being exposed.

Source and verification boundary: use https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/php-sdk as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.

Framework fit: publish this as a MCP workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
