Implementation Guidelines
- Use PHP Attributes: Leverage
#[McpTool], #[McpResource], #[McpPrompt] for clean code
- Type Declarations: Use strict types (
declare(strict_types=1);) in all files
- PSR-12 Coding Standard: Follow PHP-FIG standards
- Schema Validation: Use
#[Schema] attributes for parameter validation
- Error Handling: Throw specific exceptions with clear messages
- Testing: Write PHPUnit tests for all tools
- Documentation: Use PHPDoc blocks for all methods
- Caching: Always use PSR-16 cache for discovery in production
