While the SDK provides core functionality, FastMCP 2.0 delivers everything needed for production: advanced MCP patterns (server composition, proxying, OpenAPI/FastAPI generation, tool transformation), enterprise auth (Google, GitHub, WorkOS, Azure, Auth0, and more), deployment tools, testing utilities, and comprehensive client libraries. > > **For production MCP applications, install FastMCP:** `pip install fastmcp` --- **FastMCP is the standard framework for building MCP applications**, providing the fastest path from idea to production. The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is a standardized way to provide context and tools to LLMs. FastMCP makes building production-ready MCP servers simple, with enterprise auth, deployment tools, and a complete ecosystem built in. ```python # server.py from fastmcp import FastMCP mcp = FastMCP("Demo 🚀") @mcp.tool def add(a: int, b: int) -> int: """Add two numbers""" return a + b if __name__ == "__main__": mcp.run() ``` Run the server locally: ```bash fastmcp run server.py ``` ### 📚 Documentation FastMCP's complete documentation is available at **[gofastmcp.com](https://gofastmcp.com)**, including detailed guides, API references, and advanced patterns. This readme provides only a high-level overview. Documentation is also available in [llms.txt format](https://llmstxt.org/), which is a simple markdown standard that LLMs can consume easily. There are two ways to access the LLM-friendly documentation: - [`llms.txt`](https://gofastmcp.com/llms.txt) is essentially a sitemap, listing all the pages in the documentation. - [`llms-full.txt`](https://gofastmcp.com/llms-full.txt) contains the entire documentation. Note this may exceed the context window of your LLM. --- <!-- omit in toc --> ## Table of Contents - [FastMCP v2 🚀](#fastmcp-v2-) - [📚 Documentation](#-documentation) - [What is MCP?](#what-is-mcp) - [Why FastMCP?](#why-fastmcp) - [Installation](#installation) - [Core Concepts](#core-concepts) - [The `FastMCP` Server](#the-fastmcp-server) - [Tools](#tools) - [Resources \& Templates](#resources--templates) - [Prompts](#prompts) - [Context](#context) - [MCP Clients](#mcp-clients) - [Authentication](#authentication) - [Enterprise Authentication, Zero Configuration](#enterprise-authentication-zero-configuration) - [Deployment](#deployment) - [From Development to Production](#from-development-to-production) - [Advanced Features](#advanced-features) - [Proxy Servers](#proxy-servers) - [Composing MCP Servers](#composing-mcp-servers) - [OpenAPI \& FastAPI Generation](#openapi--fastapi-generation) - [Running Your Server](#running-your-server) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [Prerequisites](#prerequisites) - [Setup](#setup) - [Unit Tests](#unit-tests) - [Static Checks](#static-checks) - [Pull Requests](#pull-requests) --- ## What is MCP? The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) lets you build servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications in a secure, standardized way. It is often described as "the USB-C port for AI", providing a uniform way to connect LLMs to resources they can use. It may be easier to think of it as an API, but specifically designed for LLM interactions. MCP servers can: - Expose data through **Resources** (think of these sort of like GET endpoints; they are used to load information into the LLM's context) - Provide functionality through **Tools** (sort of like POST endpoints; they are used to execute code or otherwise produce a side effect) - Define interaction patterns through **Prompts** (reusable templates for LLM interactions) - And more! FastMCP provides a high-level, Pythonic interface for building, managing, and interacting with these servers. ## Why FastMCP? FastMCP handles all the complex protocol details so you can focus on building. In most cases, decorating a Python function is all you need — FastMCP handles the rest. 🚀 **Fast:** High-level interface means less code and faster development 🍀 **Simple:** Build MCP servers with minimal boilerplate 🐍 **Pythonic:** Feels natural to Python developers 🔍 **Complete:** Everything for production — enterprise auth (Google, GitHub, Azure, Auth0, WorkOS), deployment tools, testing frameworks, client libraries, and more FastMCP provides the shortest path from idea to production. Deploy locally, to the cloud with [FastMCP Cloud](https://fastmcp.cloud), or to your own infrastructure. ## Installation We recommend installing FastMCP with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/): ```bash uv pip install fastmcp ``` For full installation instructions, including verification, upgrading from the official MCPSDK, and developer setup, see the [**Installation Guide**](https://gofastmcp.com/getting-started/installation). ## Core Concepts These are the building blocks for creating MCP servers and clients with FastMCP. ### The `FastMCP` Server The central object representing your MCP application. It holds your tools, resources, and prompts, manages connections, and can be configured with settings like authentication. ```python from fastmcp import FastMCP # Create a server instance mcp = FastMCP(name="MyAssistantServer") ``` Learn more in the [**FastMCP Server Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/servers/fastmcp). ### Tools Tools allow LLMs to perform actions by executing your Python functions (sync or async). Ideal for computations, API calls, or side effects (like `POST`/`PUT`). FastMCP handles schema generation from type hints and docstrings. Tools can return various types, including text, JSON-serializable objects, and even images or audio aided by the FastMCP media helper classes. ```python @mcp.tool def multiply(a: float, b: float) -> float: """Multiplies two numbers.""" return a * b ``` Learn more in the [**Tools Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/servers/tools). ### Resources & Templates Resources expose read-only data sources (like `GET` requests). Use `@mcp.resource("your://uri")`. Use `{placeholders}` in the URI to create dynamic templates that accept parameters, allowing clients to request specific data subsets. ```python # Static resource @mcp.resource("config://version") def get_version(): return "2.0.1" # Dynamic resource template @mcp.resource("users://{user_id}/profile") def get_profile(user_id: int): # Fetch profile for user_id... return {"name": f"User {user_id}", "status": "active"} ``` Learn more in the [**Resources & Templates Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/servers/resources). ### Prompts Prompts define reusable message templates to guide LLM interactions. Decorate functions with `@mcp.prompt`. Return strings or `Message` objects. ```python @mcp.prompt def summarize_request(text: str) -> str: """Generate a prompt asking for a summary.""" return f"Please summarize the following text:\n\n{text}" ``` Learn more in the [**Prompts Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/servers/prompts). ### Context Access MCP session capabilities within your tools, resources, or prompts by adding a `ctx: Context` parameter. Context provides methods for: - **Logging:** Log messages to MCP clients with `ctx.info()`, `ctx.error()`, etc. - **LLM Sampling:** Use `ctx.sample()` to request completions from the client's LLM. - **HTTP Request:** Use `ctx.http_request()` to make HTTP requests to other servers. - **Resource Access:** Use `ctx.read_resource()` to access resources on the server - **Progress Reporting:** Use `ctx.report_progress()` to report progress to the client. - and more... To access the context, add a parameter annotated as `Context` to any mcp-decorated function. FastMCP will automatically inject the correct context object when the function is called. ```python from fastmcp import FastMCP, Context mcp = FastMCP("My MCP Server") @mcp.tool async def process_data(uri: str, ctx: Context): # Log a message to the client await ctx.info(f"Processing {uri}...") # Read a resource from the server data = await ctx.read_resource(uri) # Ask client LLM to summarize the data summary = await ctx.sample(f"Summarize: {data.content[:500]}") # Return the summary return summary.text ``` Learn more in the [**Context Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/servers/context). ### MCP Clients Interact with *any* MCP server programmatically using the `fastmcp.Client`. It supports various transports (Stdio, SSE, In-Memory) and often auto-detects the correct one. The client can also handle advanced patterns like server-initiated **LLM sampling requests** if you provide an appropriate handler. Critically, the client allows for efficient **in-memory testing** of your servers by connecting directly to a `FastMCP` server instance via the `FastMCPTransport`, eliminating the need for process management or network calls during tests. ```python from fastmcp import Client async def main(): # Connect via stdio to a local script async with Client("my_server.py") as client: tools = await client.list_tools() print(f"Available tools: {tools}") result = await client.call_tool("add", {"a": 5, "b": 3}) print(f"Result: {result.content[0].text}") # Connect via SSE async with Client("http://localhost:8000/sse") as client: # ... use the client pass ``` To use clients to test servers, use the following pattern: ```python from fastmcp import FastMCP, Client mcp = FastMCP("My MCP Server") async def main(): # Connect via in-memory transport async with Client(mcp) as client: # ... use the client ``` FastMCP also supports connecting to multiple servers through a single unified client using the standard MCP configuration format: ```python from fastmcp import Client # Standard MCP configuration with multiple servers config = { "mcpServers": { "weather": {"url": "https://weather-api.example.com/mcp"}, "assistant": {"command": "python", "args": ["./assistant_server.py"]} } } # Create a client that connects to all servers client = Client(config) async def main(): async with client: # Access tools and resources with server prefixes forecast = await client.call_tool("weather_get_forecast", {"city": "London"}) answer = await client.call_tool("assistant_answer_question", {"query": "What is MCP?"}) ``` Learn more in the [**Client Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/clients/client) and [**Transports Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/clients/transports). ## Authentication ### Enterprise Authentication, Zero Configuration FastMCP provides comprehensive authentication support that sets it apart from basic MCP implementations. Secure your servers and authenticate your clients with the same enterprise-grade providers used by major corporations. **Built-in OAuth Providers:** - **Google** - **GitHub** - **Microsoft Azure** - **Auth0** - **WorkOS** - **Descope** - **JWT/Custom** - **API Keys** Protecting a server takes just two lines: ```python from fastmcp.server.auth import GoogleProvider auth = GoogleProvider(client_id="...", client_secret="...", base_url="https://myserver.com") mcp = FastMCP("Protected Server", auth=auth) ``` Connecting to protected servers is even simpler: ```python async with Client("https://protected-server.com/mcp", auth="oauth") as client: # Automatic browser-based OAuth flow result = await client.call_tool("protected_tool") ``` **Why FastMCP Auth Matters:** - **Production-Ready:** Persistent storage, token refresh, comprehensive error handling - **Zero-Config OAuth:** Just pass `auth="oauth"` for automatic setup - **Enterprise Integration:** WorkOS SSO, Azure Active Directory, Auth0 tenants - **Developer Experience:** Automatic browser launch, local callback server, environment variable support - **Advanced Architecture:** Full OIDC support, Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), and unique OAuth proxy pattern that enables DCR with any provider *Authentication this comprehensive is unique to FastMCP 2.0.* Learn more in the **Authentication Documentation** for [servers](https://gofastmcp.com/servers/auth) and [clients](https://gofastmcp.com/clients/auth). ## Deployment ### From Development to Production FastMCP supports every deployment scenario from local development to global scale: **Development:** Run locally with a single command ```bash fastmcp run server.py ``` **Production:** Deploy to [**FastMCP Cloud**](https://fastmcp.cloud) — Remote MCP that just works - Instant HTTPS endpoints - Built-in authentication - Zero configuration - Free for personal servers **Self-Hosted:** Use HTTP or SSE transports for your own infrastructure ```python mcp.run(transport="http", host="0.0.0.0", port=8000) ``` Learn more in the [**Deployment Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/deployment). ## Advanced Features FastMCP introduces powerful ways to structure and compose your MCP applications. ### Proxy Servers Create a FastMCP server that acts as an intermediary for another local or remote MCP server using `FastMCP.as_proxy()`. This is especially useful for bridging transports (e.g., remote SSE to local Stdio) or adding a layer of logic to a server you don't control. Learn more in the [**Proxying Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/patterns/proxy). ### Composing MCP Servers Build modular applications by mounting multiple `FastMCP` instances onto a parent server using `mcp.mount()` (live link) or `mcp.import_server()` (static copy). Learn more in the [**Composition Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/patterns/composition). ### OpenAPI & FastAPI Generation Automatically generate FastMCP servers from existing OpenAPI specifications (`FastMCP.from_openapi()`) or FastAPI applications (`FastMCP.from_fastapi()`), instantly bringing your web APIs to the MCP ecosystem. Learn more: [**OpenAPI Integration**](https://gofastmcp.com/integrations/openapi) | [**FastAPI Integration**](https://gofastmcp.com/integrations/fastapi). ## Running Your Server The main way to run a FastMCP server is by calling the `run()` method on your server instance: ```python # server.py from fastmcp import FastMCP mcp = FastMCP("Demo 🚀") @mcp.tool def hello(name: str) -> str: return f"Hello, {name}!" if __name__ == "__main__": mcp.run() # Default: uses STDIO transport ``` FastMCP supports three transport protocols: **STDIO (Default)**: Best for local tools and command-line scripts. ```python mcp.run(transport="stdio") # Default, so transport argument is optional ``` **Streamable HTTP**: Recommended for web deployments. ```python mcp.run(transport="http", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, path="/mcp") ``` **SSE**: For compatibility with existing SSE clients. ```python mcp.run(transport="sse", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000) ``` See the [**Running Server Documentation**](https://gofastmcp.com/deployment/running-server) for more details. ## Contributing Contributions are the core of open source!
