ProxyTool

A Tool that represents and executes a tool on a remote server. Methods:

from_mcp_tool

from_mcp_tool(cls, client: Client, mcp_tool: mcp.types.Tool) -> ProxyTool
Factory method to create a ProxyTool from a raw MCP tool schema.

run

run(self, arguments: dict[str, Any], context: Context | None = None) -> ToolResult
Executes the tool by making a call through the client.

ProxyResource

A Resource that represents and reads a resource from a remote server. Methods:

from_mcp_resource

from_mcp_resource(cls, client: Client, mcp_resource: mcp.types.Resource) -> ProxyResource
Factory method to create a ProxyResource from a raw MCP resource schema.

read

read(self) -> str | bytes
Read the resource content from the remote server.

ProxyTemplate

A ResourceTemplate that represents and creates resources from a remote server template. Methods:

from_mcp_template

from_mcp_template(cls, client: Client, mcp_template: mcp.types.ResourceTemplate) -> ProxyTemplate
Factory method to create a ProxyTemplate from a raw MCP template schema.

create_resource

create_resource(self, uri: str, params: dict[str, Any], context: Context | None = None) -> ProxyResource
Create a resource from the template by calling the remote server.

ProxyPrompt

A Prompt that represents and renders a prompt from a remote server. Methods:

from_mcp_prompt

from_mcp_prompt(cls, client: Client, mcp_prompt: mcp.types.Prompt) -> ProxyPrompt
Factory method to create a ProxyPrompt from a raw MCP prompt schema.

render

render(self, arguments: dict[str, Any]) -> list[PromptMessage]
Render the prompt by making a call through the client.

FastMCPProxy

A FastMCP server that acts as a proxy to a remote MCP-compliant server. It uses specialized managers that fulfill requests via a client factory.

ProxyClient

A proxy client that forwards advanced interactions between a remote MCP server and the proxy’s connected clients. Supports forwarding roots, sampling, elicitation, logging, and progress. Methods:

default_sampling_handler

default_sampling_handler(cls, messages: list[mcp.types.SamplingMessage], params: mcp.types.CreateMessageRequestParams, context: RequestContext[ClientSession, LifespanContextT]) -> mcp.types.CreateMessageResult
A handler that forwards the sampling request from the remote server to the proxy’s connected clients and relays the response back to the remote server.

default_elicitation_handler

default_elicitation_handler(cls, message: str, response_type: type, params: mcp.types.ElicitRequestParams, context: RequestContext[ClientSession, LifespanContextT]) -> ElicitResult
A handler that forwards the elicitation request from the remote server to the proxy’s connected clients and relays the response back to the remote server.

default_log_handler

default_log_handler(cls, message: LogMessage) -> None
A handler that forwards the log notification from the remote server to the proxy’s connected clients.

default_progress_handler

default_progress_handler(cls, progress: float, total: float | None, message: str | None) -> None
A handler that forwards the progress notification from the remote server to the proxy’s connected clients.

StatefulProxyClient

A proxy client that provides a stateful client factory for the proxy server. The stateful proxy client bound its copy to the server session. And it will be disconnected when the session is exited. This is useful to proxy a stateful mcp server such as the Playwright MCP server. Note that it is essential to ensure that the proxy server itself is also stateful. Methods:

clear

clear(self)
Clear all cached clients and force disconnect them.

new_stateful

new_stateful(self) -> Client[ClientTransportT]
Create a new stateful proxy client instance with the same configuration. Use this method as the client factory for stateful proxy server.
