PHPocalypse-MCP
MCP server for vibe developers that are too busy to run tests and static analysis.
Prerequisites
- You need to have node, npx and tsx installed
How to
- First,
git clone this repo to chosen directory - Run
npm install - Next, open your Cursor settings and add the following MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"phpocalypse-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["tsx", "/Absolute/Path/To/PHPocalypse-MCP/src/index.ts", "--config", "/Absolute/Path/To/Your/PHP/Based/Project/phpocalypse-mcp.yaml"]
}
}
}
Make sure the paths are correct!
- In your PHP project, create
phpocalypse-mcp.yaml file
phpocalypse-mcp.yaml config
The structure is straightforward. Define the tools by giving them a name and a command to run.
tools:
- name: php-cs-fixer
command: make php-cs
- name: php-stan
command: /vendor/bin/phpstan analyse -c phpstan.neon --memory-limit=-1
- name: tests-unit
command: docker compose run --rm php ./vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite=Unit
- name: tests-behat
command: task behat -- --no-interaction
Caveats
- This MCP is just a proof of concept and it may not work in every case. One thing that will not work for sure is any interactive CLI input. A good example is behat, that - if not run in non-inteartvice mode - will prompt user with a question of whether to generate missing snippets. Make sure that your commands just run and output something meaningful and leave the rest to your favourite LLM.
- Some bigger outputs are not handler correctly yet. To fix that, try to either use
claude-3.7-sonnet or craft your commands to return less.
