* fix: cache component lists in ProxyProvider to avoid redundant backend connections
Every call_tool through a proxy was triggering _list_tools() to resolve
the tool by name, opening a full MCP session just for the lookup, then
opening a second session for the actual execution. This caches component
lists on the ProxyProvider with a configurable TTL (default 300s),
cutting backend handshakes in half for repeated calls.
* docs: document component caching and session reuse for proxy providers
* fix: add sleep in cache TTL test for Windows clock resolution
* docs: clarify cache scope and dynamic backend guidance
Rename Visibility to Enabled, collapse VisibilityRule into the transform,
and move enabled filtering from Provider to Server level so server-level
transforms can override provider-level disables.
* Consolidate tool transformation logic into TransformingProvider
Tool transformations were previously scattered across LocalProvider,
ProxyProvider, and MCPConfig. This consolidates all transformation
logic into TransformingProvider via with_transforms(tool_transforms={...}).
- Add tool_transforms parameter to TransformingProvider
- Add tool_transforms to Provider.with_transforms()
- Remove transformation storage from LocalProvider and ProxyProvider
- Remove add_tool_transformation() and remove_tool_transformation() from FastMCP
- Add tool_transforms parameter to factory methods (from_openapi, from_fastapi, create_proxy)
- Update tests to use new patterns
* Fix: reject tool lookups by pre-transform name
* Add collision validation for tool_transforms and fix docstring examples
- Validate duplicate target names in tool_transforms raise ValueError
- Fix docstring examples to use arguments/ArgTransformConfig (not args/ArgTransform)
- Add test for collision validation
* Add server-level tool transform APIs and fix task registration
- Add AggregateProvider to present multiple providers as one
- Add _get_root_provider() to apply server-level transforms uniformly
- Fix _docket_lifespan to use root provider (ensures renamed tools
register with correct keys for background execution)
- Add tool_transforms kwarg to __init__ (non-deprecated)
- Add add_tool_transform(), remove_tool_transform(), tool_transforms property
- Deprecate old API names (tool_transformations, add_tool_transformation, etc.)
- Update tests to use new API
* Add graceful degradation for provider errors in AggregateProvider
* Match original behavior: parallel queries with DEBUG logging
* Refactor transforms to middleware-style call_next pattern
Replaces the ad-hoc transformation system with a unified Transform
abstraction using the same call_next pattern as server middleware.
Key changes:
- New src/fastmcp/server/transforms/ module with Transform base class
- Namespace, ToolTransform, Visibility all implement the same interface
- Transforms compose via functools.partial chain building
- Visibility is now just the first transform in provider._transforms
- Server-level transforms apply after provider aggregation
- Task registration now applies full transform chain
Removes TransformingProvider, _BoundTransform, ComponentSource protocol.
User-facing API unchanged: mount(), add_transform(), enable/disable all
work as before.
* Add comprehensive transforms and visibility documentation
New docs/servers/providers/transforms.mdx covering:
- Mental model for middleware-style transform pattern
- Built-in transforms (Namespace, ToolTransform)
- Server vs provider-level transforms and ordering
- Tool modification (immediate vs deferred)
- Custom transform creation
New docs/servers/visibility.mdx covering:
- Enable/disable API for runtime visibility control
- Keys and tags for targeting components
- Allowlist mode with only=True
- Server vs provider visibility layering
Updates existing docs to reference new pages and simplifies
redundant content. Visibility is documented as a user feature,
not as an implementation detail.
* Restructure transforms docs and delete tool-transformation pattern
* Cleanup: simplify get_tasks and remove unused Provider.get_component
* Update loq
* Update loq limits and add loq note to AGENTS.md
* Deprecate add_tool_transformation and tool_transformations param
* Address PR review feedback: remove redundant imports, fix path reference
* Add missing imports to code examples in v3-features.mdx
