🎉 Symfony MCP Server 0.9.0 Release: New Features & Feedback Request

[klapaudius]

Hello, developer friends! 👋
We are incredibly excited to announce the release of Symfony MCP Server v0.9.0! 🛠️
This update has been developed in alignment with the roadmap
We want to thank our community and especially those of you who explored earlier versions of the bundle and shared valuable feedback—we couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️

🚀 What’s New in v0.9.0?

After gathering feedback, one challenge stood out: the Redis adapter for Pub/Sub messaging was frequently perceived as a potential hindrance to the adoption of the bundle. To address this, we’ve added a brand new Symfony Cache Adapter as an alternative to Redis! 🎉

Introducing the Symfony Cache Adapter

The Symfony Cache Adapter leverages the simplicity and flexibility of the Symfony Cache component, making it a lightweight, easy-to-setup option for Pub/Sub messaging within the Model Context Protocol Server. It’s a great alternative for developers who don't want to rely on external dependencies like Redis.
Why it matters:

• Reduces overhead for projects without a Redis setup.
• Provides a local caching solution that benefits from the versatility of Symfony’s Cache system.
• Still offers the same core functionality and compatibility part of the MCP ecosystem.

In addition to the adapter, we've also prioritized:

• Refactoring work: Simplifying and maintaining the codebase by improving internal structures like the . TestMcpToolCommand
• Improved testing: Increased test coverage for better stability and reliability.
• Extended Examples: Added more examples and practical use cases to guide users in understanding v0.9.0 better.

⚡ As a quick start, users can choose between the Redis adapter or the Cache adapter by updating the configuration in their project:

klp_mcp_server:
    sse_adapter: 'cache' # Set to 'redis' to switch back
