PHPRay MCP server

Which MCP servers are PHPRay's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namedev.phpray/phprayverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under phpray.dev. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-26 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 184 ms.

Should an agent connect itConnect it
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: find which WordPress plugin slows a page; trace SQL and HTTP time within one slow request.

Once connected

  • For "find which WordPress plugin slows a page", the likely first call is phpray_sites.
  • For "trace SQL and HTTP time within one slow request", the likely first call is phpray_sites.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers10 tools · read 2026-10-26
  • phpray_sites

    List the PHP sites this token can see, with requests, p95 latency and error rate. Start here: every other tool needs a site_id from this list.

  • phpray_overview

    Headline numbers for one site over a time window: requests, errors, p50/p95/p99 latency, database share and N+1 count. Use this before digging into anything else.

  • phpray_slow_pages

    The slowest URLs on a site, with request counts and p95, from the request timeseries. Answers "which page is slow".

  • phpray_slow_queries

    SQL fingerprints ordered by time spent, with call counts and the caller when known. Literals are already masked. Answers "which query is slow".

  • phpray_components

    Time attributed to each plugin, theme or vendor package on profiled requests. Answers "which plugin is slowing the site down". Empty when function profiling is off.

  • phpray_errors

    Requests that failed on a site: PHP errors and warnings with file and line where PHP raised one, plus 5xx responses that carry no PHP error. Pass an id to phpray_trace to see what one of them did.

  • phpray_traces

    Recent requests for a site. Filter with min_ms and status to find the bad ones, then pass an id to phpray_trace.

  • phpray_trace

    One request in full: wall time split into PHP, database and outbound HTTP, every query, every external call, errors, and the component breakdown when the request was profiled.

  • phpray_compare

    Two time ranges for one site side by side. Use it to check whether a deployment, a plugin update or a configuration change made things better or worse.

  • phpray_alerts

    Alerts currently firing across every site this token can see, worst overrun first.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "phpray": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://phpray.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http phpray https://phpray.dev/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://phpray.dev/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
