| This release consolidates earlier community work into a single, trusted implementation. The SDK is maintained by the [Symfony](https://symfony.com/) team, with [Kyrian Obikwelu](https://github.com/CodeWithKyrian) joining as a core maintainer based on his previous [PHP-MCP](https://github.com/php-mcp) work. The [PHP Foundation](https://thephp.foundation/) helped to coordinate the initiative with support from the members of MCP steering group. |

Just the governance semantics, but is "core maintainer" mapping to the existing outline?

@dend no it doesn't - I've updated to 'maintainer'

| We welcome your feedback and contribution, including issues, documentation improvements, and pull requests. Framework-specific integrations and real-world examples are also particularly valuable. |

I would link to issues or elaborate a bit more on how contributions to things like documentation and samples can be done.

@dend I'll request this from the authors and merge into an updated version

| Built in collaboration with the [PHP Foundation](https://thephp.foundation/) and [Symfony](https://symfony.com/), 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](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts), exposing [tools](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts#tools-ai-actions), [prompts](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts#prompts-interaction-templates), and [resources](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts#resources-context-data) to AI applications. Support for PHP applications to act as MCP [clients](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/client-concepts) will follow. |

Would be worth including a section right below this that gives a very quick demo on how to build a MCP server with the PHP SDK. Doesn't need to be super-complex, just showcase the developer experience.
