+### httpx2 replaces httpx — Breaking (custom client/factory, typing) / Absorbed (everything else)
+
+SDK v2.0.0b2 replaces `httpx` + `httpx-sse` with [httpx2](https://pypi.org/project/httpx2/) (`>=2.5.0`), a next-generation httpx fork with built-in SSE. httpx2 is a near drop-in fork: the public API (`AsyncClient`, `Auth`, `Request`, `Response`, `Timeout`, `MockTransport`, exception hierarchy, `event_hooks`) matches httpx name-for-name. The SDK duck-types the client you hand it — `streamable_http_client(http_client=...)` and `sse_client(httpx_client_factory=...)` are type-hinted `httpx2.AsyncClient` with no `isinstance` gate — but the objects that cross into the SDK must be httpx2.
+
+FastMCP now uses **httpx2 exclusively** and no longer depends on `httpx`. Every FastMCP-owned HTTP path moves to httpx2: the client transports (`client/transports/{base,http,sse}.py`), client auth (`client/auth/{oauth,bearer}.py` — `BearerAuth`/`OAuth` subclass `httpx2.Auth`), the client-side exception-group handler (`utilities/exceptions.py`), the proxy's upstream client (`server/providers/proxy.py`), the `MCPConfig` client-auth field (`mcp_config.py`), **and** all the server-side code that the earlier seam pass had left on httpx — the ~15 server auth providers' upstream IdP calls, the OpenAPI provider, `from_openapi`/`from_fastapi`, `version_check`, `resources/types.py`, the SSRF download guard, and the `apps_dev` CLI. `httpx` is dropped from the `mcp` extra entirely (it may still arrive transitively via other libraries, but FastMCP never imports it). The ~170 `httpx_mock` calls across the security-critical server-auth test files are ported to a local httpx2-backed `httpx_mock` fixture (`tests/utilities/httpx2_mock.py`) that preserves the `add_response`/`add_exception`/`get_request(s)` API verbatim, so `pytest-httpx` is dropped too.
+
+User-visible deltas:
+
+- **Custom client factory / client.** `StreamableHttpTransport(httpx_client_factory=...)`, `SSETransport(httpx_client_factory=...)`, and `OAuth(httpx_client_factory=...)` factories must now return `httpx2.AsyncClient`; a custom `httpx.Auth` passed as `Client(auth=...)` should become `httpx2.Auth`. httpx2 is a drop-in fork, so the change is an import swap (`import httpx` → `import httpx2`). This is a typing break; at runtime a duck-compatible httpx client still satisfies the SDK, but mixing `httpx.Timeout`/`httpx.Auth` with an httpx2 client is unsupported.
+- **OpenAPI client.** `FastMCP.from_openapi(client=...)` and `OpenAPIProvider(client=...)` are now type-hinted `httpx2.AsyncClient`. There is no `isinstance` gate, so an existing `httpx.AsyncClient` still works at runtime via duck-typing this release; the typing nudges you to httpx2.
+- **TLS trust store.** httpx2 verifies TLS against the OS trust store via `truststore` (honoring `SSL_CERT_FILE`/`SSL_CERT_DIR` first) instead of the bundled certifi CA set. This now applies to **all** FastMCP HTTP, including server-auth upstream IdP calls — not just the client path. Corporate-CA and certifi-pinned setups may see different trust behavior.
+- **Logger renames.** FastMCP HTTP now logs under `httpx2` and `httpcore2.*` (was `httpx`/`httpcore.*`). Anyone filtering FastMCP HTTP logs by logger name must update the names.
+
+The session-id header hook (below) works unchanged: httpx2 keeps httpx's `event_hooks` API. FastMCP's tool/resource/prompt handlers still map upstream 429/timeout errors to actionable `ToolError`/`ResourceError`; because a user's own tool may raise from either library, `server/server.py` catches both `httpx2` and (if installed) legacy `httpx` `HTTPStatusError`/`TimeoutException` via a defensive `try: import httpx` shim.
+
+*Verify:* `fastmcp_slim/pyproject.toml` (`mcp` extra lists only `httpx2`); no FastMCP source imports `httpx` except the documented defensive shim in `server/server.py`.

 ## Protocol eras
 
 The SDK v2 serves multiple protocol eras from one server, and FastMCP formally embraces this.
