Dataphyre

Dataphyre is a modular PHP framework and runtime for building internal tools, SaaS control planes, admin panels, APIs, server-rendered apps, and agent-built business systems. It combines a small portable runtime with first-party modules for routing, MVC, Panel resources, SQL, Storage, permissions, diagnostics, Reactor components, and MCP-powered application planning.

Dataphyre is built for teams that want AI agents to help create and maintain applications without turning every feature into a framework edit. Agents can inspect safe metadata, generate app-owned scaffold plans, follow explicit extension boundaries, and verify the application surface they changed.

Why Dataphyre

• Build application surfaces directly: Panel resources, APIs, MVC routes, server-driven Reactor islands, SQL-backed records, storage-backed assets, and permission-aware workflows.
• Give agents practical rails: the MCP server can inspect modules, routes, schemas, docs, diagnostics, and scaffold plans without dispatching arbitrary application code by default.
• Keep ownership obvious: product behavior belongs in application code, config, callbacks, dialbacks, plugins, app-owned adapters, or reusable modules before runtime internals.
• Use only the runtime pieces you need: enable HTTP, Routing, MVC, API, Panel, SQL, Storage, Cache, Access, Permission, Mailer, Localization, Reactor, diagnostics, MCP, and integrations as the application grows.
• Run embedded or standalone: use Dataphyre as the core of a product, or embed the runtime inside a larger PHP application.
