SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Projects that need to combine a FastAPI REST surface with a FastMCP server often lack clear guidance on how to mount, generate, or co‑host these interfaces while keeping a single uv‑managed Python environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern A – Mount existing MCP into FastAPI: Shows how to import a curated FastMCP instance and mount it as a sub‑app, preserving lifespans and middleware.
  • Pattern B – Generate FastMCP from FastAPI: Provides a quick bootstrap using FastMCP.from_fastapi and advises on reviewing generated tools and endpoints.
  • Pattern C – Serve both API and MCP from one process: Demonstrates combining routes and lifespans for a unified deployment.
  • Pattern D – Promote generated MCP to a curated service: Guides the transition from auto‑generated code to a production‑ready FastMCP application.
  • UV workflow guidance: Details dependency management with uv add, running tests, and handling workspace‑aware commands.
  • Validation checklist: Ensures configuration coherence, lifespan correctness, and proper testing of both HTTP and MCP sides.

Quick Start

Use the integrate-fastapi-fastmcp skill to determine the best integration pattern and generate the necessary FastMCP mounting code for my uv project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate FastAPI with FastMCP in a single Python project?▼

To integrate FastAPI with FastMCP, you can mount a curated FastMCP instance as a sub-app or serve both interfaces from one process using a unified lifespan. This keeps both REST and MCP surfaces in a single uv-managed Python environment.

Can I auto-generate an MCP server from an existing FastAPI application?▼

Yes, you can auto-generate an MCP server from an existing FastAPI application using the `FastMCP.from_fastapi` bootstrap method. You should review the generated tools and endpoints before transitioning the code to a production-ready curated service.

What is the best way to co-host REST and MCP interfaces from one FastAPI codebase?▼

The best way to co-host REST and MCP interfaces from one FastAPI codebase is to combine routes and lifespans for a unified deployment. This pattern ensures both interfaces share the same uv-managed environment and configuration settings.

Does integrating FastMCP into FastAPI require the uv package manager?▼

Yes, integrating FastMCP into FastAPI requires the uv package manager for dependency management. The workflow relies on uv to handle `uv add` commands, run tests, and manage workspace-aware commands across the shared Python project.

How do I preserve middleware and lifespans when mounting FastMCP into FastAPI?▼

To preserve middleware and lifespans when mounting FastMCP into FastAPI, import the curated FastMCP instance and mount it as a sub-app. This pattern maintains configuration coherence and ensures both interfaces operate correctly.

What are the limitations of auto-generating FastMCP from FastAPI?▼

Auto-generating FastMCP from FastAPI produces quick bootstrap code that requires review. You must validate the generated tools and endpoints, and promote the code to a curated service to ensure proper lifespan correctness and production readiness.
