# `fastmcp.server.providers.fastmcp_provider`


FastMCPProvider for wrapping FastMCP servers as providers.

This module provides the `FastMCPProvider` class that wraps a FastMCP server
and exposes its components through the Provider interface.

It also provides FastMCPProvider* component classes that delegate execution to
the wrapped server's middleware, ensuring middleware runs when components are
executed.


## Classes

### `FastMCPProviderTool` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L72" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Tool that delegates execution to a wrapped server's middleware.

When `run()` is called, this tool invokes the wrapped server's
`_call_tool_middleware()` method, ensuring the server's middleware
chain is executed.


**Methods:**

#### `wrap` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L94" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
wrap(cls, server: Any, tool: Tool) -> FastMCPProviderTool
```

Wrap a Tool to delegate execution to the server's middleware.


#### `run` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L151" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
run(self, arguments: dict[str, Any]) -> ToolResult
```

Delegate to child server's call_tool() without task_meta.

This is called when the tool is used within a TransformedTool
forwarding function or other contexts where task_meta is not available.


#### `get_span_attributes` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L170" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_span_attributes(self) -> dict[str, Any]
```

### `FastMCPProviderResource` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L177" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Resource that delegates reading to a wrapped server's read_resource().

When `read()` is called, this resource invokes the wrapped server's
`read_resource()` method, ensuring the server's middleware chain is executed.


**Methods:**

#### `wrap` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L198" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
wrap(cls, server: Any, resource: Resource) -> FastMCPProviderResource
```

Wrap a Resource to delegate reading to the server's middleware.


#### `get_span_attributes` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L241" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_span_attributes(self) -> dict[str, Any]
```

### `FastMCPProviderPrompt` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L248" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Prompt that delegates rendering to a wrapped server's render_prompt().

When `render()` is called, this prompt invokes the wrapped server's
`render_prompt()` method, ensuring the server's middleware chain is executed.


**Methods:**

#### `wrap` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L269" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
wrap(cls, server: Any, prompt: Prompt) -> FastMCPProviderPrompt
```

Wrap a Prompt to delegate rendering to the server's middleware.


#### `render` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L320" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
render(self, arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> PromptResult
```

Delegate to child server's render_prompt() without task_meta.

This is called when the prompt is used within a transformed context
or other contexts where task_meta is not available.


#### `get_span_attributes` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L339" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_span_attributes(self) -> dict[str, Any]
```

### `FastMCPProviderResourceTemplate` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L346" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Resource template that creates FastMCPProviderResources.

When `create_resource()` is called, this template creates a
FastMCPProviderResource that will invoke the wrapped server's middleware
when read.


**Methods:**

#### `wrap` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L368" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
wrap(cls, server: Any, template: ResourceTemplate) -> FastMCPProviderResourceTemplate
```

Wrap a ResourceTemplate to create FastMCPProviderResources.


#### `create_resource` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L389" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
create_resource(self, uri: str, params: dict[str, Any]) -> Resource
```

Create a FastMCPProviderResource for the given URI.

The `uri` is the external/transformed URI (e.g., with namespace prefix).
We use `_original_uri_template` with `params` to construct the internal
URI that the nested server understands.


#### `read` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L439" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
read(self, arguments: dict[str, Any]) -> str | bytes | ResourceResult
```

Read the resource content for background task execution.

Reads the resource via the wrapped server and returns the ResourceResult.
This method is called by Docket during background task execution.


#### `register_with_docket` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L460" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
register_with_docket(self, docket: Docket) -> None
```

No-op: the child's actual template is registered via get_tasks().


#### `add_to_docket` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L463" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
add_to_docket(self, docket: Docket, params: dict[str, Any], **kwargs: Any) -> Execution
```

Schedule this template for background execution via docket.

The child's FunctionResourceTemplate.fn is registered (via get_tasks),
and it expects splatted **kwargs, so we splat params here.


#### `get_span_attributes` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L482" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_span_attributes(self) -> dict[str, Any]
```

### `FastMCPProvider` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L494" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Provider that wraps a FastMCP server.

This provider enables mounting one FastMCP server onto another, exposing
the mounted server's tools, resources, and prompts through the parent
server.

Components returned by this provider are wrapped in FastMCPProvider*
classes that delegate execution to the wrapped server's middleware chain.
This ensures middleware runs when components are executed.


**Methods:**

#### `get_app_tool` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L569" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_app_tool(self, app_name: str, tool_name: str) -> Tool | None
```

Delegate to nested server's get_app_tool, wrapping for middleware.


#### `get_tasks` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L671" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_tasks(self) -> Sequence[FastMCPComponent]
```

Return task-eligible components from the mounted server.

Returns the child's ACTUAL components (not wrapped) so their actual
functions get registered with Docket. Gets components with child
server's transforms applied, then applies this provider's transforms
for correct registration keys.


#### `lifespan` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/fastmcp_provider.py#L712" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
lifespan(self) -> AsyncIterator[None]
```

Start the mounted server's user lifespan.

This starts only the wrapped server's user-defined lifespan, NOT its
full _lifespan_manager() (which includes Docket). The parent server's
Docket handles all background tasks.
