FRAMPP — an XAMPP-style one-click PHP stack built on FrankenPHP (Windows + Linux)

[wangbo5825]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share a project that puts FrankenPHP at its core: FRAMPP.

FRAMPP is a self-contained, XAMPP-style development stack. It bundles FrankenPHP (embedded Caddy), MariaDB and Redis into one-click installers for Windows (.exe) and Linux (.run) — no system package dependencies, and the whole directory is relocatable.

How FrankenPHP is used here:

• Web requests run in FrankenPHP worker mode by default.
• frankenphp php-cli serves as the bundled PHP CLI, and Composer runs through it as well.
• The Linux package is built as a custom, mostly-static binary (static-php-cli / spc), keeping APCu / redis / mysqli / mbstring / openssl / xml and adding the Souin HTTP cache plus a small caddy-access-filter module.
• Services bind to localhost only, with per-install generated secrets and read-only database accounts.

The part I'd most like feedback on is the Agent (MCP) layer: FRAMPP exposes local MySQL / Redis / logs / environment info as read-only MCP tools, so coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) can inspect a local PHP project without being handed credentials. The MCP server is currently a zero-dependency PHP implementation.

Repo: https://github.com/wangbo5825/frampp
Latest release (0.4.0): https://github.com/wangbo5825/frampp/releases/tag/v0.4.0

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the FrankenPHP integration — especially the worker-mode defaults, the custom Linux build, or anything that looks non-idiomatic. Happy to answer questions.

Thanks!

seems like sqlite and/or nats might be good options for something like this

sqlite need not bundled . it embed on  FrankenPhp，but most PHP app need mysql, we follow xampp.
