The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming a standard for providing context and tooling for LLM applications. However, implementing an MCP server typically involves substantial boilerplate for setup, protocol handling and error management. FastMCP is a Python framework that simplifies this process by abstracting away protocol complexity and allowing developers to define MCP resources and tooling through intuitive Python decorators. This abstraction enables teams to focus on business logic, resulting in cleaner, more maintainable MCP implementations.
While FastMCP 1.0 is already incorporated into the official SDK, the MCP standard continues to evolve quickly. We recommend monitoring the 2.0 release and ensuring teams stay aligned with changes to the official specification.
