MergePHP: Roll Your Own Graph-Driven MCP Server

Receive a ready-to-use blueprint for building your Model Context Protocol server with Neo4j. We'll start with a quick survey of driver options across languages, then dive into how we built one using the PHP driver in a Symfony app, covering connection setup, session, and transaction handling before wrapping it all up with a live demo that ties it all together.

Presented by Ghlen Nagels

He maintains the Neo4j PHP driver, contributes to open-source projects, and partners with startups and SMEs on cloud applications using PHP, graph and relational databases.
