FAQ
Is FastMCP the same as the official Python SDK?
FastMCP 1.0 was incorporated into the official Python MCP SDK; today the standalone project continues as the higher-level framework, adding clients and interactive apps on top of the protocol.
Do I need FastMCP to build an MCP server in Python?
No — you can use the official SDK directly. FastMCP is a convenience: fewer lines, auto tool schema from type hints.
Can I use FastMCP with a non-Python stack?
FastMCP is Python-only. For TypeScript, look at the TypeScript SDK; the tier picks above include language alternatives.
