Well basically the MVC is where a framework comes in, for a minimum MVC look at lumen or slim.

@Amrith okay, just make your own routes, controllers, etc. I have written a framework in the past and also contributed to one. But there is a learning curve.

What boilerplate? Just implement MVC.

I suggest at least look over slim for ideas.

Even if you make a custom MVC setup, all put together it's a framework.
