MCP.Pizza Chef: neuron-core

PHP developers get a single framework for the whole job: agents that remember a conversation, connect to Anthropic and other model providers, answer from your own documents, run multi-step work that can pause for a human to approve something, and reach out to MCP servers for extra abilities. It needs PHP 8.1 or newer, installs through Composer, and you supply a key for whichever model provider you pick. This is a building block for developers, not an app you open.

What is Neuron?

Neuron is a PHP framework for creating and orchestrating AI Agents. It allows you to integrate AI entities into your PHP applications with a powerful and flexible architecture. We provide tools for the entire agentic application development lifecycle, from LLM interfaces, data loading, multi-agent orchestration, to monitoring and debugging. In addition, we provide tutorials and other educational content to help you get started using AI Agents in your projects.

Why Neuron

Your next application will be agentic. A growing share of new software is no longer a web application with AI features added along the way, but an application born agentic, where the agent is the architecture itself, driving how the system reasons, acts, and talks to its interface. Building this kind of application requires a specific set of foundations: event-driven workflows with checkpointing, human-in-the-loop interruption, multi-agent orchestration, streaming through agentic UI protocols like AG-UI and the Vercel AI SDK protocol, MCP, and asynchronous execution.

In the PHP ecosystem, this set of foundations exists in one place. Each one is a chapter of the documentation: Workflow, Human in the loop, Streaming & UI protocols, MCP, Async. You can compare it with any other option available to a PHP developer, and the comparison is the answer.

There is also no second framework waiting for you when the project grows. The same Workflow that runs your first agent in the getting started guide runs a multi-agent system with state, loops, and human approvals in production. What you learn on day one is what you ship in future projects.

neuron-ai FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?
Yes. This is a PHP framework you build with, not a finished app, and it needs PHP 8.1 or newer.
Which model providers work with it?
Anthropic is used in the getting-started example, and the project supports other providers the same way.
Does it need a key?
Yes, a key for whichever model provider you choose.
Can I use this to connect my app to MCP servers?
Yes — an MCP connector is built in, so an agent can use tools from any MCP server you point it at.
How hard is setup?
One Composer command installs it, but everything after that is writing PHP classes.
Can I see what the agent is doing when it goes wrong?
Yes, monitoring and debugging are part of the framework, so you can inspect each step of a run.
