# `fastmcp.server.http`
## Functions
### `set_http_request` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/server/http.py#L386" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
set_http_request(request: Request) -> Generator[Request, None, None]
```
### `create_base_app` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/server/http.py#L419" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
create_base_app(routes: list[BaseRoute], middleware: list[Middleware], debug: bool = False, lifespan: Callable | None = None) -> StarletteWithLifespan
```
Create a base Starlette app with common middleware and routes.
**Args:**
- `routes`: List of routes to include in the app
- `middleware`: List of middleware to include in the app
- `debug`: Whether to enable debug mode
- `lifespan`: Optional lifespan manager for the app
**Returns:**
- A Starlette application
### `create_sse_app` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/server/http.py#L469" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
create_sse_app(server: FastMCP[LifespanResultT], message_path: str, sse_path: str, auth: AuthProvider | None = None, debug: bool = False, routes: list[BaseRoute] | None = None, middleware: list[Middleware] | None = None, host_origin_protection: HostOriginProtection = False, allowed_hosts: Sequence[str] | None = None, allowed_origins: Sequence[str] | None = None) -> StarletteWithLifespan
```
Return an instance of the SSE server app.
**Args:**
- `server`: The FastMCP server instance
- `message_path`: Path for SSE messages
- `sse_path`: Path for SSE connections
- `auth`: Optional authentication provider (AuthProvider)
- `debug`: Whether to enable debug mode
- `routes`: Optional list of custom routes
- `middleware`: Optional list of middleware
- `host_origin_protection`: Whether to validate Host and Origin headers
before requests reach the SSE connection and message endpoints.
Defaults to False for compatibility. "auto" protects
localhost-bound servers and explicit host/origin allowlists.
- `allowed_hosts`: Additional hostnames that may appear in the Host header.
- `allowed_origins`: Additional browser origins trusted by the request guard.
Configure CORS separately when browser JavaScript must read
cross-origin responses.
Returns:
A Starlette application with RequestContextMiddleware
### `create_streamable_http_app` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/server/http.py#L624" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
create_streamable_http_app(server: FastMCP[LifespanResultT], streamable_http_path: str, event_store: EventStore | None = None, retry_interval: int | None = None, auth: AuthProvider | None = None, json_response: bool = False, stateless_http: bool = False, debug: bool = False, routes: list[BaseRoute] | None = None, middleware: list[Middleware] | None = None, host_origin_protection: HostOriginProtection = False, allowed_hosts: Sequence[str] | None = None, allowed_origins: Sequence[str] | None = None, session_idle_timeout: float | Literal['auto'] | None = 'auto') -> StarletteWithLifespan
```
Return an instance of the StreamableHTTP server app.
**Args:**
- `server`: The FastMCP server instance
- `streamable_http_path`: Path for StreamableHTTP connections
- `event_store`: Optional event store for SSE polling/resumability
- `retry_interval`: Optional retry interval in milliseconds for SSE polling.
Controls how quickly clients should reconnect after server-initiated
disconnections. Requires event_store to be set. Defaults to SDK default.
- `auth`: Optional authentication provider (AuthProvider)
- `json_response`: Whether to use JSON response format
- `stateless_http`: Whether to use stateless mode (new transport per request)
- `debug`: Whether to enable debug mode
- `routes`: Optional list of custom routes
- `middleware`: Optional list of middleware
- `host_origin_protection`: Whether to validate Host and Origin headers
before requests reach the MCP endpoint. Defaults to False for
compatibility. "auto" protects localhost-bound servers and explicit
host/origin allowlists.
- `allowed_hosts`: Additional hostnames that may appear in the Host header.
- `allowed_origins`: Additional browser origins trusted by the request guard.
Configure CORS separately when browser JavaScript must read
cross-origin responses.
- `session_idle_timeout`: Maximum time in seconds a session may remain idle
before it is terminated. The deadline is pushed forward on every
request. Defaults to "auto", which uses the MCP SDK's default
(1800 seconds as of SDK 2.2). When None, sessions never expire
from inactivity. Only applies to stateful HTTP sessions.
**Returns:**
- A Starlette application with StreamableHTTP support
