### Description (declared)

# symfony-php-mcp

A production-ready **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** that bridges your Symfony/PHP project with LLMs such as Claude. It exposes tools that let the AI read your project's routes, services, Twig templates, and PHP source code — without ever needing direct filesystem access from the LLM itself.
