**[v4.0.0b1: Fourgone Conclusion](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/tag/v4.0.0b1)**
|
||||
|
||||
FastMCP 4 rebuilds the framework on the MCP Python SDK v2, and this beta is the first release to run on the SDK's stable 2.0. The SDK v2 rewrote the protocol layer end to end — protocol types moved into a standalone `mcp_types` package, every model field renamed from camelCase to snake_case in Python, and the server's request-handling model replaced — and FastMCP absorbs nearly all of it, so most FastMCP 3 servers run untouched. On that foundation v4 serves the sessionless `2026-07-28` protocol and the older handshake from one server, adds stateless session state and background tasks, makes protocol extensions a first-class surface, and removes server-initiated sampling and roots from the server API.

FastMCP 4 builds on the MCP Python SDK v2, and that is the source of every change in this guide. The SDK v2 makes two sweeping changes to the protocol layer: it moves the protocol types into a standalone `mcp_types` package (still importable as `mcp.types`), and it renames every protocol field from camelCase to snake_case (`inputSchema` → `input_schema`, `mimeType` → `mime_type`, `isError` → `is_error`, and so on).

FastMCP 4 builds on the MCP Python SDK v2, and that is the source of every change in this guide. The SDK v2 makes two sweeping changes to the protocol layer: it moves the protocol types into a standalone `mcp_types` package (still importable as `mcp.types`), and it renames every model field from camelCase to snake_case in Python (`inputSchema` → `input_schema`, `mimeType` → `mime_type`, `isError` → `is_error`, and so on). The wire format does not change: the models keep their camelCase aliases and serialize under them, so this renames the attributes your code reads, not the JSON on the connection.
|
||||
|
||||
FastMCP 4 absorbs almost all of this for you. Field access is bridged so your existing reads keep working, and the imports you were taught have a stable home in FastMCP itself. What the SDK cannot hide is the protocol's own direction: the new sessionless era removes the server's ability to call back into a client mid-request, and background tasks moved out of the core spec into an extension. Those two shape the changes a working server is most likely to feel.

FastMCP 4 rebuilds the framework on the MCP Python SDK v2, and this beta is the first release to run on the SDK's stable 2.0. The engine underneath changed completely, but FastMCP absorbs nearly all of it — most FastMCP 3 servers run untouched.
|
||||
|
||||
🌐 **Every protocol era** — one server answers both the sessionless `2026-07-28` protocol and the older session-based handshake, negotiated per connection.
|
||||
|
||||
💾 **State without a session** — `UserSession` and `SessionId` give tools durable state on a protocol that deliberately has none, keyed per user when the request is authenticated.
|
||||
|
||||
⏳ **Background tasks** — the `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension in the new `fastmcp-tasks` package, on the same Docket engine FastMCP 3 used.
|
||||
|
||||
🧩 **Server extensions** — `add_extension()` turns capability-negotiated protocol features into a supported plugin surface.
|
||||
|
||||
🔐 **Enterprise auth** — server-side identity assertion (SEP-990), `require_roles`, scope step-up challenges, and DCR `application_type`.
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Breaking** — server-initiated sampling and roots are removed from the server API, and the 3.x-era compatibility shims are gone. See the [upgrade guide](/getting-started/upgrading/from-fastmcp-3).
