fix: task.wait() hangs indefinitely when task enters input_required (#3798)
* fix: resolve OpenAPI 3.x server variables in _create_default_client

When an OpenAPI spec defines server variables (e.g. `https://{region}.api.example.com/v1`),
the default values are now substituted before constructing the httpx client base URL.
Previously, the URL was used as-is, causing all requests to fail for specs that use
server variable templating.

Fixes #1681

* fix: use str.replace instead of format_map for server variable substitution

format_map applies Python string formatting rules, so variable names
like {api.version} would be treated as attribute access and raise errors.
Literal token replacement handles all valid OpenAPI variable names safely.

* fix: task.wait() now returns on input_required instead of hanging

Previously, wait() used a terminal-state allowlist (completed, failed,
cancelled), so tasks entering input_required would hang until timeout.

Replaced with inverse logic: return whenever the task exits the 'working'
state. This handles input_required and any future blocking states without
needing to update the allowlist.

Fixes #3779

* fix: include submitted in in_progress_states to avoid premature return

* fix: revert submitted, update state docstring to match MCP spec

* fix: add _wait_terminal() so result() waits for completed/failed/cancelled

wait() correctly returns on input_required for human-in-the-loop use cases,
but result() needs to wait until the task fully resolves. Add a private
_wait_terminal() helper that loops through non-terminal states and use it
in all result() implementations.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects LLMs to tools and data. FastMCP gives you everything you need to go from prototype to production:

from fastmcp import FastMCP

mcp = FastMCP("Demo 🚀")

@mcp.tool
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    """Add two numbers"""
    return a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Why FastMCP

Building an effective MCP application is harder than it looks. FastMCP handles all of it. Declare a tool with a Python function, and the schema, validation, and documentation are generated automatically. Connect to a server with a URL, and transport negotiation, authentication, and protocol lifecycle are managed for you. You focus on your logic, and the MCP part just works: with FastMCP, best practices are built in.

That's why FastMCP is the standard framework for working with MCP. FastMCP 1.0 was incorporated into the official MCP Python SDK in 2024. Today, the actively maintained standalone project is downloaded a million times a day, and some version of FastMCP powers 70% of MCP servers across all languages.

FastMCP has three pillars:

Servers
Servers

Expose tools, resources, and prompts to LLMs.
Apps
Apps

Give your tools interactive UIs rendered directly in the conversation.
Clients
Clients

Connect to any MCP server — local or remote, programmatic or CLI.

Servers wrap your Python functions into MCP-compliant tools, resources, and prompts. Clients connect to any server with full protocol support. And Apps give your tools interactive UIs rendered directly in the conversation.

Installation

We recommend installing FastMCP with uv:

uv pip install fastmcp

For full installation instructions, including verification and upgrading, see the Installation Guide.

📚 Documentation

FastMCP's complete documentation is available at gofastmcp.com, including detailed guides, API references, and advanced patterns.

Documentation is also available in llms.txt format, which is a simple markdown standard that LLMs can consume easily:

  • llms.txt is essentially a sitemap, listing all the pages in the documentation.
  • llms-full.txt contains the entire documentation. Note this may exceed the context window of your LLM.
