## Description

A lightweight PHPStan MCP server that exposes static analysis capabilities through two specialized tools: phpstan_analyze for human-readable reports and phpstan_pro for raw JSON output. Built with zero external dependencies using only native PHP, it features automatic PHPStan binary detection (preferring vendor/bin/phpstan), configuration file discovery, and flexible path normalization for analyzing PHP codebases. The implementation includes a custom autoloader, JSON-RPC message handling over STDIO, and configurable analysis levels, making it useful for integrating PHPStan static analysis into AI-assisted development workflows, automated code review processes, and quality assurance pipelines.
