from fastmcp import FastMCP

Minimal FastMCP server with one tool.

from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP import os mcp = FastMCP("My App") if os.environ.get('MCP_API_KEY'): mcp.auth = os.environ['MCP_API_KEY'] @mcp.tool() def add(a: int, b: int) -> int: return a + b if __name__ == "__main__": mcp.run()

Debug

Known footguns

gotchaImport path: Use 'from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP'. The package name 'fastmcp-slim' does not match the import path.

breakingVersion 3.x moved to asynchronous core. Sync tools are wrapped; async is preferred. Some decorators changed.

gotchaTransport defaults: FastMCP now defaults to 'streamable-http' (JSON-RPC over HTTP) instead of stdio. If you need SSE, set transport='sse'.
