Announcing the Official PHP SDK for MCP
The official PHP SDK for the Model Context Protocol is now generally available, built in collaboration with the PHP Foundation and Symfony.
Overview
The official PHP SDK for the Model Context Protocol is now generally available.
Built in collaboration with the PHP Foundation and Symfony, the PHP SDK handles protocol details, so developers don’t have to worry about low-level mechanics and can focus on building their applications.
The initial release enables PHP developers to build MCP servers, exposing tools, prompts, and resources to AI applications. Support for PHP applications to act as MCP clients will follow.
Details
The PHP SDK now joins 9 other officially supported language SDKs in the MCP ecosystem, making it easier for developers everywhere to adopt MCP in their preferred language.
Get involved
The PHP SDK is now open to the community to install, test, and contribute:
- SDK repo: modelcontextprotocol/php-sdk
- Composer package: mcp/sdk
We welcome your feedback and contribution, including issues, documentation improvements, and pull requests. Framework-specific integrations and real-world examples are also particularly valuable.
Thanks to the MCP community
This release consolidates earlier community work into a single, trusted implementation. The SDK is maintained by the Symfony team, with Kyrian Obikwelu joining as a maintainer based on his previous PHP-MCP work. The PHP Foundation helped to coordinate the initiative with support from the members of MCP steering group.
Thank you to all involved in bringing PHP to the MCP ecosystem.
