About FastMCP

FastMCP is a Python framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients with minimal boilerplate. It provides decorators and utilities to define MCP tools, resources, and prompts in a straightforward, Pythonic style. Designed for rapid development of MCP integrations without verbose configuration.

Best for

Python developers building LLM integrations who want to expose tools and data sources via the Model Context Protocol without writing boilerplate.

Use cases

Building MCP servers that expose Python functions as tools for Claude or other LLMs
Creating MCP clients that connect to multiple servers and aggregate their capabilities
Prototyping LLM integrations with custom data sources or business logic

Notes

25,425 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-06-01. Licensed Apache-2.0.

Pros

Low boilerplate. Decorator-based API reduces setup friction compared to manual MCP implementation
Python-native. Leverages familiar Python patterns and async/await for developers already in the ecosystem
Active community. 25k+ stars indicates adoption and ongoing maintenance

Cons

Python-only. Not suitable for teams or projects requiring other languages
MCP specification dependency. Requires understanding of MCP protocol; not a general-purpose framework
Maturity unknown. Early-stage tooling may have breaking changes or incomplete feature coverage

How to use

How to set it up

As the listing publishes it. We have not run this install.

Install

uv add fastmcp

Tools exposed

@mcp.tool
@mcp.resource
@mcp.prompt
FastMCP client

Clients the listing names (not checked here)

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code

Example client config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Install

Add FastMCP to your client

Not verified yet

No install recipe yet. We write one for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and ChatGPT when the server is in the official MCP registry with a package or remote address we can use.

Until then, follow the project's own README, or the setup the listing publishes under How to set it up.

Works with

What FastMCP connects to

No confirmed connections yet. A product appears here when the server's registry name, repo, homepage or name ties it to that product, and a client appears when we have an install recipe for it.

Health and security

Is FastMCP looked after, and what do its setup files show

Security check static checks

100 out of 100

Reads what is published about the server: package advisories, licence, secrets in the documented setup and tool permissions. Nothing is installed or run, so this is not a security assessment. Checked 24 Oct 2026 by edna-static-v1 PyPI:fastmcp@4.1.3. What it checks

Licence: Apache-2.0

Note The lab has not recorded this server's tool list yet, so tool permissions were not checked.
