Pimcore 2025.4 LTS: Symfony 7 and MCP Server for AI integration

In December 2025, Pimcore released version 2025.4, a Long Term Support release that sets a new standard for enterprise PIM and DAM solutions. With full Symfony 7 support, experimental MCP Server integration and the renewed Pimcore Studio UI, this release positions Pimcore as a future-proof platform for years to come. Let's look at the key innovations and their benefits for your organization.

Symfony 7 support

Pimcore 2025.4 introduces full compatibility with Symfony 7, alongside existing Symfony 6.4 support. This offers organizations flexibility: you can smoothly migrate to Symfony 7 for the latest features, or stay on Symfony 6 via the Symfony Freeze bundle for maximum stability. Upgrading to Symfony 7 brings improved performance, modern PHP 8.3+ features and an expanded ecosystem of bundles and packages. For development teams, this means more efficient work with the latest tools and best practices.

MCP Server for AI and LLM integration

One of the most innovative additions is experimental support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. This feature enables external AI agents and Large Language Models to directly access your Pimcore-managed data. Concretely, this means AI assistants can query product information, analyze content and even make suggestions for data enrichment. For companies looking to integrate AI into their product information workflows, this opens new possibilities without complex custom integrations.

Pimcore Studio UI and Admin Classic

With 2025.4, Pimcore supports both the new Pimcore Studio interface and the Admin Classic UI in parallel. However, this is the last release with Admin Classic support - from 2026.1 it will be completely replaced by Studio. The new Studio UI offers a more modern user experience, better performance and is designed for today's workflows. The parallel support gives organizations time to train teams and adjust workflows before the transition becomes final.

Three years LTS support

As an official Long Term Support release, Pimcore guarantees three years of support for version 2025.4. This means security patches, bugfixes and compatibility updates until December 2028. For enterprise organizations that value stability and predictability, this is a crucial factor. You can invest in your PIM infrastructure with confidence knowing your platform will be supported long-term. Are you considering a Pimcore implementation or upgrade?
