## What it is
Symfony AI is a set of PHP components and Symfony bundles that integrate AI capabilities into PHP applications, including a unified interface to LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure), an agent framework with tool calling, vector store abstraction for RAG, and MCP server/client support. It ships as decoupled components (Agent, Chat, Platform, Store, Mate) plus Symfony integration bundles.

## Use cases
- add LLM chat to a PHP application
- build AI agents with tool calling in Symfony
- implement RAG with vector stores in PHP
- expose an MCP server from a Symfony app
- unify multiple AI providers behind one interface
- connect coding assistants to a PHP codebase via MCP
- build multi-agent orchestration in PHP

## When to choose
- you are building a Symfony or PHP application that needs LLM features
- you want provider-agnostic model inference with streaming, structured output, and multi-modal support
- you need agents, tool calling, and RAG with Symfony-native YAML configuration and DI
- you want to build or consume MCP servers/clients in PHP

## When to avoid
- your stack is Python, Node.js, or another non-PHP ecosystem
- you need a standalone AI product rather than libraries to embed in an app
- you need production MCP tooling - the Mate component is explicitly development-only
- you need training or fine-tuning of models - this covers inference and integration only
