Fix #4292: SSRF guard breaks OAuth/JWKS fetches behind a corporate HTTP proxy (#4412)
* Add FASTMCP_SSRF_TRUST_PROXY to allow SSRF fetches through a corporate proxy

* Make SSRF fetch client trust_env explicit for proxy routing

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

* Warn when SSRF proxy trust is enabled without a configured proxy

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

* Warn when NO_PROXY would send an SSRF-trust-proxy fetch direct

* Refuse SSRF-trust-proxy fetches when no proxy would route the target

* Fix TestProxyMode mocks to patch httpx2.AsyncClient

main's httpx -> httpx2 migration (#4503) landed after these tests were
written; ssrf.py's fetch path already uses httpx2.AsyncClient, but
TestProxyMode still patched the old httpx module, so the mock silently
stopped intercepting and requests escaped to the real network.

* Fix port-qualified NO_PROXY bypass in SSRF proxy-trust guard

proxy_bypass(hostname) discarded the port, so a NO_PROXY entry like
127.0.0.1:8443 went undetected while httpx2 honored it and sent the
request direct with the blocklist already disabled. Pass host:port
instead, except for IPv6 literals, where httpx2 ignores port when
matching NO_PROXY and neither bracketed nor unbracketed host:port
reliably matches through proxy_bypass()'s own parser.

* Replace NO_PROXY prediction with explicit proxy control in SSRF trust-proxy mode

Predicting httpx2's proxy routing (via proxy_bypass(), then via httpx2's own
get_environment_proxies()/URLPattern internals) kept diverging from its real
NO_PROXY handling — three rounds, three different divergences, always in the
unsafe direction. Read HTTPS_PROXY/ALL_PROXY directly and pass it to httpx2
explicitly with trust_env=False, so the request provably goes through that
proxy instead of being predicted to. NO_PROXY is no longer evaluated in this
mode: a NO_PROXY'd host is now routed through the proxy rather than refused,
since that's strictly safer than the alternative (direct with the blocklist
already off).

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.

Run FastMCP in production with Horizon

FastMCP is the standard way to build MCP servers. Prefect Horizon is the enterprise MCP gateway for running them safely.

Built by the FastMCP team, Horizon packages the best practices we've learned shipping the world's most popular MCP framework.

Deploy FastMCP servers from GitHub with branch previews and instant rollback. Create a private registry of every MCP your company uses. Secure access with SSO and tool-level RBAC. Get audit logs, observability, and governance across your MCP stack. Remix approved tools into purpose-built endpoints for teams and agents.

Installation

We recommend installing FastMCP with uv:

uv pip install fastmcp

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

Upgrading? We have guides for:

Note

If import fastmcp fails right after a pip upgrade from FastMCP 3.2 or earlier, run pip install --force-reinstall fastmcp. See Troubleshooting for why this happens (uv is unaffected).

📚 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.
