+**[v3.0.0: Three at Last](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/tag/v3.0.0)**
+
+FastMCP 3.0 is stable. Two betas, two release candidates, 21 new contributors, and more than 100,000 daily pre-release installs later — the architecture held up, the upgrade path was smooth, and we're shipping it.
+
+The surface API is largely unchanged — `@mcp.tool()` still works exactly as before. What changed is everything underneath: a provider/transform architecture that makes FastMCP extensible, observable, and composable in ways v2 couldn't support. If we did our jobs right, you'll barely notice the redesign. You'll just notice that more is possible.
+
+This is also the release where FastMCP moves from [jlowin/fastmcp](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp) to [PrefectHQ/fastmcp](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp). GitHub forwards all links, PyPI is the same, imports are the same. A major version felt like the right moment to make it official.
+
+### Build servers from anything
+
+🔌 Components no longer have to live in one file with one server. `FileSystemProvider` discovers tools from directories with hot-reload. `OpenAPIProvider` wraps REST APIs. `ProxyProvider` proxies remote MCP servers. `SkillsProvider` delivers agent skills as resources. Write your own provider for whatever source makes sense. Compose multiple providers into one server, share one across many, or chain them with **transforms** that rename, namespace, filter, version, and secure components as they flow to clients. `ResourcesAsTools` and `PromptsAsTools` expose non-tool components to tool-only clients.
+
+### Ship to production
+
+🔐 Component versioning: serve `@tool(version="2.0")` alongside older versions from one codebase. Granular authorization on individual components with async auth checks, server-wide policies via `AuthMiddleware`, and scope-based access control. OAuth gets CIMD, Static Client Registration, Azure OBO via dependency injection, JWT audience validation, and confused-deputy protections. OpenTelemetry tracing with MCP semantic conventions. Response size limiting. Background tasks with distributed Redis notification and `ctx.elicit()` relay. Security fixes include dropping `diskcache` (CVE-2025-69872) and upgrading `python-multipart` and `protobuf` for additional CVEs.
+
+### Adapt per session
+
+💾 Session state persists across requests via `ctx.set_state()` / `ctx.get_state()`. `ctx.enable_components()` and `ctx.disable_components()` let servers adapt dynamically per client — show admin tools after authentication, progressively reveal capabilities, or scope access by role.
+
+### Develop faster
+
+⚡ `--reload` auto-restarts on file changes. Standalone decorators return the original function, so decorated tools stay callable in tests and non-MCP contexts. Sync functions auto-dispatch to a threadpool. Tool timeouts, MCP-compliant pagination, composable lifespans, `PingMiddleware` for keepalive, and concurrent tool execution when the LLM returns multiple calls in one response.
+
+### Use FastMCP as a CLI
+
+🖥️ `fastmcp list` and `fastmcp call` query and invoke tools on any server from a terminal. `fastmcp discover` scans your editor configs (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Goose, Gemini CLI) and finds configured servers by name. `fastmcp generate-cli` writes a standalone typed CLI where every tool is a subcommand. `fastmcp install` registers your server with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Goose in one command.
+
+### Build apps (3.1 preview)
+
+📱 Spec-level support for MCP Apps is in: `ui://` resource scheme, typed UI metadata via `AppConfig`, extension negotiation, and runtime detection. The full Apps experience lands in 3.1.
+
+---
+
+If you hit 3.0 because you didn't pin your dependencies and something breaks — the [upgrade guides](https://gofastmcp.com/getting-started/upgrading/from-fastmcp-2) will get you sorted. We minimized breaking changes, but a major version is a major version.

+FastMCP 3.0 is stable. Two betas, two release candidates, 21 new contributors, and more than 100,000 daily pre-release installs later — the architecture held up, the upgrade path was smooth, and we're shipping it.
+
+The surface API is largely unchanged — `@mcp.tool()` still works exactly as before. What changed is everything underneath: a provider/transform architecture that makes FastMCP extensible, observable, and composable in ways v2 couldn't support.
+
+🔌 **Build servers from anything** — `FileSystemProvider`, `OpenAPIProvider`, `ProxyProvider`, `SkillsProvider`, and composable transforms that rename, namespace, filter, version, and secure components as they flow to clients.
+
+🔐 **Ship to production** — Component versioning, granular authorization with async auth checks, CIMD, Static Client Registration, Azure OBO, OpenTelemetry tracing, and background tasks with distributed Redis notification.
+
+💾 **Adapt per session** — Session state persists across requests, and `ctx.enable_components()` / `ctx.disable_components()` let servers adapt dynamically per client.
+
+⚡ **Develop faster** — `--reload`, standalone decorators, automatic threadpool dispatch, tool timeouts, pagination, and concurrent tool execution.
+
+🖥️ **CLI** — `fastmcp list`, `fastmcp call`, `fastmcp discover`, `fastmcp generate-cli`, and `fastmcp install` for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Goose.
