🚀 The fast, Pythonic way to build MCP servers and clients.

FastMCP is a standard framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) applications, which connect LLMs to tools and data. It simplifies the process by automatically generating schemas, validation, and documentation for tools, and managing transport negotiation and authentication for server connections. FastMCP offers a comprehensive solution for developing, deploying, and scaling MCP-powered systems.
