fastmcp

fastmcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,898 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of fastmcp, MIT.

A Python framework and workflow for building MCP servers, which let AI applications use custom tools, data sources, and prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, validate, install, and prepare Python MCP servers for local clients or HTTP deployment.
Why use it?
It gives you a defined way to wrap an API, database, command-line tool, or file workflow as an MCP server and test it before deployment.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fastmcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/scaffold_fastmcp.py, templates/api_wrapper.py, templates/database_server.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to fastmcp — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

FastMCP

Build MCP servers in Python with FastMCP, validate them locally, install them into MCP clients, and deploy them as HTTP endpoints.

When to Use

Use this skill when the task is to:

  • create a new MCP server in Python
  • wrap an API, database, CLI, or file-processing workflow as MCP tools
  • expose resources or prompts in addition to tools
  • smoke-test a server with the FastMCP CLI before wiring it into Hermes or another client
  • install a server into Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or a similar MCP client
  • prepare a FastMCP server repo for HTTP deployment

Use native-mcp when the server already exists and only needs to be connected to Hermes. Use mcporter when the goal is ad-hoc CLI access to an existing MCP server instead of building one.

Prerequisites

Install FastMCP in the working environment first:

pip install fastmcp
fastmcp version

For the API template, install httpx if it is not already present:

pip install httpx

Included Files

Templates

  • templates/api_wrapper.py - REST API wrapper with auth header support
  • templates/database_server.py - read-only SQLite query server
  • templates/file_processor.py - text-file inspection and search server

Scripts

  • scripts/scaffold_fastmcp.py - copy a starter template and replace the server name placeholder

References

  • references/fastmcp-cli.md - FastMCP CLI workflow, installation targets, and deployment checks

Workflow

1. Pick the Smallest Viable Server Shape

Choose the narrowest useful surface area first:

  • API wrapper: start with 1-3 high-value endpoints, not the whole API
  • database server: expose read-only introspection and a constrained query path
  • file processor: expose deterministic operations with explicit path arguments
  • prompts/resources: add only when the client needs reusable prompt templates or discoverable documents

Prefer a thin server with good names, docstrings, and schemas over a large server with vague tools.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
