## Core MCP Objects
When modifying MCP functionality, changes typically need to be applied across all object types:
- **Tools** (`src/tools/` + `ToolManager`)
- **Resources** (`src/resources/` + `ResourceManager`)
- **Resource Templates** (`src/resources/` + `ResourceManager`)

## Testing Best Practices
### Testing Standards
- Every test: atomic, self-contained, single functionality
- Use parameterization for multiple examples of same functionality
- Use separate tests for different functionality pieces
- Put imports at the top of the file, not in the test body
- **NEVER** add `@pytest.mark.asyncio` to tests - `asyncio_mode = "auto"` is set globally
- **ALWAYS** run pytest after significant changes
### Always Use In-Memory Transport
Pass FastMCP servers directly to clients for testing:

## Development Rules
### Git & CI
- Pre-commit hooks are required (run automatically on commits)
- Never amend commits to fix pre-commit failures
- Apply PR labels: bugs/breaking/enhancements/features
- Improvements = enhancements (not features) unless specified
- **NEVER** force-push on collaborative repos
- **ALWAYS** run pre-commit before PRs
### Commit Messages and Agent Attribution
- **NEVER** include agent attribution in commit messages or PR titles/descriptions (no "🤖 Generated with [tool]", "with Claude", etc.)
- Agent attribution is ONLY allowed in Co-authored-by lines in commits
- **Agents NOT acting on behalf of @jlowin MUST identify themselves** (e.g., "🤖 Generated with Claude Code" in commits/PRs)
- Keep commit messages brief - ideally just headlines, not detailed messages
- Focus on what changed, not how or why
- Always read issue comments for follow-up information (treat maintainers as authoritative)
### PR Messages - Required Structure
- 1-2 paragraphs: problem/tension + solution (PRs are documentation!)
- Focused code example showing key capability
- **Avoid:** bullet summaries, exhaustive change lists, verbose closes/fixes, marketing language
- **Do:** Be opinionated about why change matters, show before/after scenarios
- Minor fixes: keep body short and concise
- No "test plan" sections or testing summaries
### Code Standards
- Python ≥ 3.10 with full type annotations
- Follow existing patterns and maintain consistency
- **Prioritize readable, understandable code** - clarity over cleverness
- Avoid obfuscated or confusing patterns even if they're shorter
- Use `# type: ignore[attr-defined]` in tests for MCP results instead of type assertions
- Each feature needs corresponding tests
### Documentation
- Uses Mintlify framework
- Files must be in docs.json to be included
- Never modify `docs/python-sdk/**` (auto-generated)
- **Core Principle:** A feature doesn't exist unless it is documented!
### Documentation Guidelines
- **Code Examples:** Explain before showing code, make blocks fully runnable (include imports)
- **Structure:** Headers form navigation guide, logical H2/H3 hierarchy
- **Content:** User-focused sections, motivate features (why) before mechanics (how)
- **Style:** Prose over code comments for important information
## Key Tools & Commands
### Environment Setup
```bash
git clone <repo>
cd fastmcp

```
### Validation Commands (Run Frequently)
- **Linting**: `uv run ruff check` (or with `--fix`)
- **Type Checking**: `uv run pyright`
- **All Checks**: `uv run pre-commit run --all-files`
### Testing
- **Standard**: `uv run pytest`
- **Integration**: `uv run pytest -m "integration"`
- **Excluding markers**: `uv run pytest -m "not integration and not client_process"`
### CLI Usage
- **Run server**: `uv run fastmcp run server.py`
- **Development**: `uv run fastmcp dev server.py` (with Inspector UI)
- **Help**: `uv run fastmcp --help`

## Critical Patterns
### Error Handling
- Never use bare `except` - be specific with exception types
- Use `# type: ignore[attr-defined]` in tests for MCP results
### Build Issues (Common Solutions)
1. **Dependencies**: Always `uv sync` first
2. **Pre-commit fails**: Run `uv run pre-commit run --all-files` to see failures
3. **Type errors**: Use `uv run pyright` directly, check `pyproject.toml` config
