# Dependency Fix Summary

Issues Fixed
### 1. **MCP Package Import Error**
**Problem:** `from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP` was using incorrect import path
**Solution:**
- Changed package from `mcp>=1.0.0` to `fastmcp>=0.2.0`
- Updated import to: `from fastmcp import FastMCP`
### 2. **httpx Version Compatibility**
**Problem:** `httpx==0.25.2` was pinned to old version
**Solution:** Updated to `httpx>=0.27.0` for better async support and compatibility
### 3. **Pydantic Version Range**
**Problem:** `pydantic==2.5.0` was too strict, could cause conflicts
**Solution:** Changed to `pydantic>=2.5.0,<3.0.0` to allow patch/minor updates while preventing breaking changes
### 4. **Dependency Version Pinning**
**Problem:** All packages were strictly pinned (==), making updates difficult
**Solution:** Changed to flexible ranges (>=) for all packages except major version boundaries
