# `fastmcp.server.dependencies`
Dependency injection for FastMCP.
DI features (Depends, CurrentContext, CurrentFastMCP) work without pydocket
using the uncalled-for DI engine. Only task-related dependencies (CurrentDocket,
CurrentWorker) and background task execution require fastmcp[tasks].
## Functions
### `is_docket_available` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L111" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
is_docket_available() -> bool
```
Check if a compatible pydocket (>= 0.19.0) is installed and importable.
Three things have to be true for fastmcp's task features to work:
1. pydocket distribution metadata is discoverable
2. its version is at least ``_MIN_DOCKET_VERSION`` (older versions are
missing symbols like ``docket.dependencies.current_execution``,
which fastmcp imports on the request hot path)
3. the package actually imports — guards against broken/partial
installs where metadata exists but ``import docket`` blows up
Any of those failing means we treat docket as unavailable and fall back
to the no-tasks code paths instead of crashing deep inside a request.
### `require_docket` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L140" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
require_docket(feature: str) -> None
```
Raise ImportError with install instructions if docket not available.
**Args:**
- `feature`: Description of what requires docket (e.g., "`task=True`",
"CurrentDocket()"). Will be included in the error message.
### `transform_context_annotations` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L180" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
transform_context_annotations(fn: Callable[..., Any]) -> Callable[..., Any]
```
Transform ctx: Context into ctx: Context = CurrentContext().
Transforms ALL params typed as Context to use Docket's DI system,
unless they already have a Dependency-based default (like CurrentContext()).
This unifies the legacy type annotation DI with Docket's Depends() system,
allowing both patterns to work through a single resolution path.
Note: Only POSITIONAL_OR_KEYWORD parameters are reordered (params with defaults
after those without). KEYWORD_ONLY parameters keep their position since Python
allows them to have defaults in any order.
**Args:**
- `fn`: Function to transform
**Returns:**
- Function with modified signature (same function object, updated __signature__)
### `get_context` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L321" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
get_context() -> Context
```
Get the current FastMCP Context instance directly.
### `get_server` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L331" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
get_server() -> FastMCP
```
Get the current FastMCP server instance directly.
In a background-task worker, checks the task-server map first so that
mounted-child tasks resolve to the child server (not the parent that
started the worker).
**Returns:**
- The active FastMCP server
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If no server in context
### `get_http_request` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L361" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
get_http_request() -> Request
```
Get the current HTTP request.
Tries MCP SDK's request_ctx first, then falls back to FastMCP's HTTP context.
In background tasks, returns a synthetic request populated with the
snapshotted headers from the originating HTTP request.
### `get_http_headers` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L410" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
get_http_headers(include_all: bool = False, include: set[str] | None = None) -> dict[str, str]
```
Extract headers from the current HTTP request if available.
Never raises an exception, even if there is no active HTTP request (in which case
an empty dict is returned).
By default, strips problematic headers like `content-length` and `authorization`
that cause issues if forwarded to downstream services. If `include_all` is True,
all headers are returned.
The `include` parameter allows specific headers to be included even if they would
normally be excluded. This is useful for proxy transports that need to forward
authorization headers to upstream MCP servers.
### `get_access_token` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L467" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
get_access_token() -> AccessToken | None
```
Get the FastMCP access token from the current context.
This function first tries to get the token from the current HTTP request's scope,
which is more reliable for long-lived connections where the SDK's auth_context_var
may become stale after token refresh. Falls back to the SDK's context var if no
request is available. In background tasks (Docket workers), falls back to the
token snapshot stored in Redis at task submission time.
**Returns:**
- The access token if an authenticated user is available, None otherwise.
### `without_injected_parameters` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L539" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
without_injected_parameters(fn: Callable[..., Any]) -> Callable[..., Any]
```
Create a wrapper function without injected parameters.
Returns a wrapper that excludes Context and Docket dependency parameters,
making it safe to use with Pydantic TypeAdapter for schema generation and
validation. The wrapper internally handles all dependency resolution and
Context injection when called.
Handles:
- Legacy Context injection (always works)
- Depends() injection (always works - uses docket or vendored DI engine)
**Args:**
- `fn`: Original function with Context and/or dependencies
- `run_in_thread`: For sync ``fn``, whether to dispatch the call to a worker
thread after resolving dependencies. Defaults to True. Set to False
to call ``fn`` inline on the event loop thread — required for
thread-affinity libraries (e.g. Windows COM). Ignored for async fns.
**Returns:**
- Async wrapper function without injected parameters
### `resolve_dependencies` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L700" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
resolve_dependencies(fn: Callable[..., Any], arguments: dict[str, Any]) -> AsyncGenerator[dict[str, Any], None]
```
Resolve dependencies for a FastMCP function.
This function:
1. Filters out any dependency parameter names from user arguments (security)
2. Resolves Depends() parameters via the DI system
The filtering prevents external callers from overriding injected parameters by
providing values for dependency parameter names. This is a security feature.
Note: Context injection is handled via transform_context_annotations() which
converts `ctx: Context` to `ctx: Context = Depends(get_context)` at registration
time, so all injection goes through the unified DI system.
**Args:**
- `fn`: The function to resolve dependencies for
- `arguments`: User arguments (may contain keys that match dependency names,
which will be filtered out)
### `CurrentContext` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L843" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

### `OptionalCurrentContext` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L868" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
OptionalCurrentContext() -> Context | None
```
Get the current FastMCP Context, or None when no context is active.
### `CurrentDocket` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L903" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
CurrentDocket() -> Docket
```

This dependency provides access to the Docket instance that FastMCP
automatically creates for background task scheduling.
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to the active Docket instance
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If not within a FastMCP server context
- `ImportError`: If fastmcp[tasks] not installed
### `CurrentWorker` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L959" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
CurrentWorker() -> Worker
```
Get the current Docket Worker instance managed by FastMCP.
This dependency provides access to the Worker instance that FastMCP
automatically creates for background task processing.
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to the active Worker instance
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If not within a FastMCP server context
- `ImportError`: If fastmcp[tasks] not installed
### `CurrentFastMCP` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1000" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
CurrentFastMCP() -> FastMCP
```
Get the current FastMCP server instance.
This dependency provides access to the active FastMCP server.
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to the active FastMCP server
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If no server in context (during resolution)
### `CurrentRequest` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1040" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
CurrentRequest() -> Request
```
Get the current HTTP request.
This dependency provides access to the Starlette Request object for the
current HTTP request. Only available when running over HTTP transports
(SSE or Streamable HTTP).
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to the active Starlette Request
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If no HTTP request in context (e.g., STDIO transport)
### `CurrentHeaders` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1081" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
CurrentHeaders() -> dict[str, str]
```
Get the current HTTP request headers.
This dependency provides access to the HTTP headers for the current request,
including the authorization header. Returns an empty dictionary when no HTTP
request is available, making it safe to use in code that might run over any
transport.
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to a dictionary of header name -> value
### `CurrentAccessToken` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1299" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
CurrentAccessToken() -> AccessToken
```
Get the current access token for the authenticated user.
This dependency provides access to the AccessToken for the current
authenticated request. Raises an error if no authentication is present.
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to the active AccessToken
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If no authenticated user (use get_access_token() for optional)
### `TokenClaim` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1356" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
TokenClaim(name: str) -> str
```
Get a specific claim from the access token.
This dependency extracts a single claim value from the current access token.
It's useful for getting user identifiers, roles, or other token claims
without needing the full token object.
**Args:**
- `name`: The name of the claim to extract (e.g., "oid", "sub", "email")
**Returns:**
- A dependency that resolves to the claim value as a string
**Raises:**
- `RuntimeError`: If no access token is available or claim is missing

instead of Redis. Useful for testing and immediate execution where
progress doesn't need to be observable across processes.
**Methods:**
#### `current` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1169" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
increment(self, amount: int = 1) -> None
```
Atomically increment the current progress value.
#### `set_message` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1195" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
set_message(self, message: str | None) -> None
```

### `Progress` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1200" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
Progress dependency that works in both server and worker contexts.
In a Docket worker, delegates to the execution's Redis-backed progress
(observable across processes). Otherwise, uses in-memory tracking.
The shared default instance acts as a stateless factory — ``__aenter__``
creates a fresh ``Progress`` per invocation so concurrent tasks never
share mutable state.
**Methods:**
#### `current` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/dependencies.py#L1241" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
current(self) -> int | None
```
