fastestmcp 1.0.1

Generate production-ready MCP servers and clients in seconds

FastestMCP - Super Simple MCP Server Development

The fastest way to build MCP servers. Zero-config, one-command creation, component marketplace.

🚀 Quick Start

Level 1: Zero-Config (80% of use cases)

from fastestmcp import Server

app = Server("my-app")

@app.tool
def hello(name: str):
    return f"Hello {name}!"

app.run()  # Everything else is automatic

That's it! No configuration, no boilerplate, no complexity.

One-Command Creation

# Natural language server creation
fastestmcp server "weather app that shows current temperature"
fastestmcp server "file organizer that sorts downloads"
fastestmcp server "github repo monitor"

🎯 Three Levels of Simplicity

Level 1: Zero-Config (80% of use cases)

Perfect for simple tools and resources. Everything is automatic.

from fastestmcp import Server

app = Server("calculator")

@app.tool
def add(a: int, b: int):
    return a + b

@app.tool
def multiply(a: int, b: int):
    return a * b

app.run()

Level 2: Minimal Config (15% of use cases)

For when you need a bit more control.

from fastestmcp import Server

app = Server("my-app", config={
    "tools": ["math", "web"],
    "resources": ["files", "data"]
})

Level 3: Full Control (5% of use cases)

Access to the full FastMCP power when you need it.

from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
# Full MCP implementation

🛍️ Component Marketplace

Add powerful functionality with one line:

from fastestmcp import Server, WebScraper, Database, FileSystem

app = Server("content-aggregator")

# Add components
app.add_component(WebScraper(urls=["news.com", "tech.com"]))
app.add_component(Database("sqlite:///content.db"))
app.add_component(FileSystem("/downloads"))

app.run()

Available Components

• WebScraper: Automatically scrape web content
• Database: Database operations and queries
• FileSystem: File system operations
• GitHub: GitHub API integration
• Slack: Slack notifications
• Email: Email sending
• And more coming soon!

📦 Installation

pip install fastestmcp

# Or with extras
pip install fastestmcp[web,database]

🛠️ CLI Tool

The FastestMCP CLI is organized as a modular system for maintainability:

src/fastestmcp/
├── cli.py              # Main entry point (25 lines - delegates to cli/ module)
├── cli/                # Modular CLI implementation
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── __main__.py     # Main CLI logic with subcommands
│   ├── templates.py    # Template definitions
│   ├── server_generator.py  # Server generation logic
│   ├── client_generator.py  # Client generation logic
│   └── ...
└── ...

Create servers from natural language:

# Weather monitoring
fastestmcp server "weather app that shows current temperature"

# File organization
fastestmcp server "file organizer that sorts downloads by type"

# GitHub monitoring
fastestmcp server "github repo monitor that notifies of new issues"

# Custom servers
fastestmcp server "todo list manager with due date reminders"

CLI Architecture

The CLI follows a clean separation of concerns:

• cli.py: Lightweight wrapper that imports from the cli/ module
• cli/__main__.py: Main CLI logic with argument parsing and command dispatch
• cli/ modules: Specialized modules for templates, generators, and utilities

This modular design ensures:

• ✅ Easy maintenance and testing
• ✅ Clear separation of concerns
• ✅ Extensible architecture
• ✅ No monolithic files

Generated servers include:

• ✅ Complete working code
• ✅ Smart defaults
• ✅ Error handling
• ✅ Logging
• ✅ Dependencies list
• ✅ Usage examples

🎨 Examples

Basic Tool Server

from fastestmcp import Server

app = Server("math-tools")

@app.tool
def fibonacci(n: int) -> list:
    """Generate first n Fibonacci numbers"""
    if n <= 0:
        return []
    fib = [0, 1]
    for i in range(2, n):
        fib.append(fib[i-1] + fib[i-2])
    return fib

@app.tool
def is_prime(num: int) -> bool:
    """Check if a number is prime"""
    if num < 2:
        return False
    for i in range(2, int(num**0.5) + 1):
        if num % i == 0:
            return False
    return True

app.run()

Resource Server

from fastestmcp import Server

app = Server("data-server")

# Static data resource
app.resource("data://constants/pi", 3.14159)
app.resource("data://constants/e", 2.71828)

# Dynamic resource
@app.resource("data://time/current")
def get_current_time():
    from datetime import datetime
    return {"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat()}

app.run()

Component-Based Server

from fastestmcp import Server, WebScraper, FileSystem

app = Server("content-manager")

# Add web scraping capability
scraper = WebScraper(urls=["example.com", "news.com"])
app.add_component(scraper)

# Add file system operations
filesystem = FileSystem("/data")
app.add_component(filesystem)

@app.tool
def process_content(url: str) -> str:
    """Process content from a URL and save to file"""
    # Scrape content
    content = scraper.scrape_url(url)

    # Save to file
    filename = f"content_{hash(url)}.txt"
    filesystem.save_file(filename, content)

    return f"Processed and saved content from {url}"

app.run()

🔧 Smart Defaults

FastestMCP automatically handles:

• Transport Detection: stdio, HTTP, or SSE based on environment
• Logging: Structured JSON logging with appropriate levels
• Error Handling: Graceful error responses with helpful messages
• Dependencies: Only loads what's needed
• Configuration: Sensible defaults for everything

🚀 Advanced Features

Custom Components

from fastestmcp import Server, Component

class CustomAPI(Component):
    def __init__(self, api_key: str):
        super().__init__("custom-api", "Custom API integration")
        self.api_key = api_key

    def register(self, server: Server):
        @server.tool
        def call_api(endpoint: str, data: dict) -> dict:
            # Your API logic here
            return {"result": "API called", "endpoint": endpoint}

app = Server("api-server")
app.add_component(CustomAPI("your-api-key"))
app.run()

Configuration Files

# server.yaml
name: "advanced-server"
version: "1.0.0"

components:
  - type: "WebScraper"
    urls: ["site1.com", "site2.com"]

    description: "Process incoming data"

📊 Performance

• Startup Time: < 100ms for basic servers
• Memory Usage: Minimal overhead
• Zero Dependencies: Core functionality works without extras
• Auto-scaling: Components load on-demand
