This week, Symfony development activity focused on merging new features for the upcoming Symfony 7.4 and 8.0 versions: added a Video constraint, introduced an access_decision() Twig function to get the security voter decision details, and added support for DTOs in Input attributes for invokable commands. We also announced that Symfony will provide the official MCP SDK for PHP, announced the first talks of the SymfonyCon Amsterdam 2025 conference and continued celebrating the legacy of Ryan Weaver.

Today, we are announcing that Symfony teamed up with The PHP Foundation, and Anthropic to launch the official MCP SDK. Our goal is a framework-agnostic, production-ready library the entire PHP ecosystem can rely on.

All of Ryan Weaver's Symfony conference talks are now available to watch for free. These sessions highlight his unique teaching style and contributions to the Symfony community.

This week, we celebrated the life and legacy of Ryan Weaver, a beloved teacher, contributor, and friend whose work at SymfonyCasts helped thousands discover the joy of Symfony. His kindness, humor, and dedication to lifting others up made our community stronger, and his spirit will continue to inspire everything we build. To honor Ryan, we encourage the community to keep learning, keep sharing, and support SymfonyCasts and his family.
