## Classes

### `FastMCPComponent` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/utilities/components.py#L21"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>


Base class for FastMCP tools, prompts, resources, and resource templates.


**Methods:**

#### `key` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/utilities/components.py#L48"><Icon icon="github" size="14" /></a></sup>

```python
key(self) -> str
```

The key of the component. This is used for internal bookkeeping
and may reflect e.g. prefixes or other identifiers. You should not depend on
keys having a certain value, as the same tool loaded from different
hierarchies of servers may have different keys.
