Resource/prompt error detail and proxy instructions/connection-error
surfacing now work on the modern protocol era, so the tests pinned to
mode="legacy" with a TODO(defect)/TODO(mode="legacy" pin) marker run
on the default auto mode again.
Three defects hidden by tests pinned to the handshake era, where a raw
exception reaches the wire as str(exc). At 2026-07-28 the runner masks
anything that is not an MCPError/ValidationError as "Internal server error".
- _on_read_resource / _on_get_prompt now translate FastMCPError through
to_mcp_error, mirroring _on_call_tool. Masking is unchanged.
- FastMCPProxy registers a server/discover handler so upstream instructions
reach modern clients; on_initialize only fires for the handshake.
- ProxyProvider's list methods normalize transport failures into MCPError.
Most pins in tests/server/providers/proxy/ were added only to keep tests
green while unpinning changed which protocol era the proxy's backend
connection used, not because the test's subject cared about the era. With
proxy era-mirroring (#4573) landed, a front client on auto correctly moves
the whole chain to the modern protocol, so plain tool/resource/prompt calls
through a proxy no longer need a pin.
Kept pins fall into three buckets, each commented at the call site: tests
whose subject is genuinely handshake-only (sampling, roots, elicitation
push-forwarding, ping, initialize handshake mechanics); tests whose backend
is a directly-constructed ProxyClient/StatefulProxyClient, which always
defaults to legacy independent of the front era; and two tests left pinned
with a TODO documenting a real defect this audit surfaced (upstream
instructions not forwarded to a modern-era client through a proxy, and
ProxyProvider.list_tools leaking an unwrapped connection error instead of
an MCPError).
Client negotiates the newest mutual protocol era by default (probe
server/discover, fall back to the initialize handshake). ProxyClient and the
inspect utility explicitly pin the handshake era so proxy forwarding and
server_info reads are unchanged. SSE and multi-server config transports are
legacy-only. extensions= and result_claims= (SEP-2133) are thin passthroughs
to the SDK session.
Replaces FastMCP.as_proxy() helper calls with create_proxy(), rewrites the
mount() as_proxy=/prefix= kwarg tests to plain mount() (the params are gone),
and deletes deprecation-only tests for as_proxy() and remove_tool().

* Avoid serializing binary content into ToolError messages
Use type name instead of str(content) to prevent dumping
large base64 payloads into error messages.

* pin pydantic-monty to 0.0.8
* rename tool/prompt/resource base modules to avoid decorator name shadow
* add sys.modules shims for old submodule import paths
* preserve original module paths in deprecation warnings
* clarify when sys.modules shims can be removed
* 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.

* fix: add sleep in cache TTL test for Windows clock resolution
* docs: clarify cache scope and dynamic backend guidance
Message.content now accepts ImageContent and AudioContent in addition to
TextContent and EmbeddedResource, matching MCP's ContentBlock type. This
fixes ProxyPrompt.render() silently JSON-serializing image/audio content
instead of preserving it.

* 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
