-  Apply the minimal set of labels that accurately characterize the issue/PR:
-  - Use at most 1-2 labels unless there's a compelling reason for more. It's ok to use no labels.
-  - Prefer specific labels (bug, feature) over generic ones (question, help wanted)
-  - For PRs that fix bugs, use 'bug' not 'enhancement'
-  - Never combine: bug + enhancement, feature + enhancement. For these labels, only choose the most relevant one.
-  - Reserve 'question' and 'help wanted' for when they're the primary characteristic
-
-labels:
-  - bug:
-    description: "Something isn't working as expected"
-    instructions: |
-      Apply when describing or fixing unexpected behavior:
-      - Issues: Clear error messages or unexpected outcomes
-      - PRs: Standalone fixes for broken functionality or closing bug reports.
-      Don't apply bug unless the issue or PR is predominantly about a specific bug.
-
-  - documentation:
-    description: "Improvements or additions to documentation"

+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.

+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

+[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) servers are a standardized way to provide context and tools to your LLMs, and FastMCP makes building *and interacting with* them simple and intuitive. Create tools, expose resources, define prompts, and connect components with clean, Pythonic code.
 
 ```python
-# demo.py
-
+# server.py
 from fastmcp import FastMCP
 
-
 mcp = FastMCP("Demo 🚀")
 
-
 @mcp.tool()
 def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:

     return a + b
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    mcp.run()
 ```
 
-That's it! Give Claude access to the server by running:
+Run it locally for testing:
+```bash
+fastmcp dev server.py
+```
 
+Install it for use with Claude Desktop:
 ```bash
-fastmcp install demo.py
+fastmcp install server.py
 ```
 
-FastMCP handles all the complex protocol details and server management, so you can focus on building great tools. It's designed to be high-level and Pythonic - in most cases, decorating a function is all you need.
+FastMCP handles the complex protocol details and server management, letting you focus on building great tools and applications. It's designed to feel natural to Python developers.
 
+## Key Features:
 
-### Key features:
-* **Fast**: High-level interface means less code and faster development
-* **Simple**: Build MCP servers with minimal boilerplate
-* **Pythonic**: Feels natural to Python developers
-* **Complete***: FastMCP aims to provide a full implementation of the core MCP specification
+*   **Simple Server Creation:** Build MCP servers with minimal boilerplate using intuitive decorators (`@tool`, `@resource`, `@prompt`).
+*   **Proxy MCP Servers:** Create proxy servers to expose existing MCP servers or clients with modifications, or convert between transport protocols (e.g., expose a Stdio server via SSE for web access).
+*   **Compose MCP Servers:** Compose complex applications by mounting multiple FastMCP servers together.
+*   **API Generation:** Automatically create MCP servers from existing **OpenAPI specifications** or **FastAPI applications**.
+*   **Powerful Clients:** Programmatically interact with *any* MCP server, regardless of how it was built.
+*   **LLM Sampling:** Request completions from client LLMs directly within your MCP tools.
+*   **Pythonic Interface:** Designed with familiar Python patterns like decorators and type hints.
+*   **Context Injection:** Easily access core MCP capabilities like sampling, logging, and progress reporting within your functions.
 
-(\*emphasis on *aims*)

+
+### What's New in v2?
+
+FastMCP 1.0 made it so easy to build MCP servers that it's now part of the [official Model Context Protocol Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk)! For basic use cases, you can use the upstream version by importing `mcp.server.fastmcp.FastMCP` (or installing `fastmcp=1.0`). 
 
-🚨 🚧 🏗️ *FastMCP is under active development, as is the MCP specification itself. Core features are working but some advanced capabilities are still in progress.* 
+Based on how the MCP ecosystem is evolving, FastMCP 2.0 builds on that foundation to introduce a variety of new features (and more experimental ideas). It adds advanced features like proxying and composing MCP servers, as well as automatically generating them from OpenAPI specs or FastAPI objects. FastMCP 2.0 also introduces new client-side functionality like LLM sampling.

 The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) lets you build servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications in a secure, standardized way. Think of it like a web API, but specifically designed for LLM interactions. MCP servers can:
 
-- Expose data through **Resources** (think of these sort of like GET endpoints; they are used to load information into the LLM's context)
-- Provide functionality through **Tools** (sort of like POST endpoints; they are used to execute code or otherwise produce a side effect)
-- Define interaction patterns through **Prompts** (reusable templates for LLM interactions)
+- Expose data through **Resources** (think GET endpoints; load info into context)
+- Provide functionality through **Tools** (think POST/PUT endpoints; execute actions)
+- Define interaction patterns through **Prompts** (reusable templates)
 - And more!
 
-There is a low-level [Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) available for implementing the protocol directly, but FastMCP aims to make that easier by providing a high-level, Pythonic interface.
+FastMCP provides a high-level, Pythonic interface for building and interacting with these servers.
 
 ## Core Concepts
 
+These are the building blocks for creating MCP servers, using the familiar decorator-based approach.
 
-### Server
+### The `FastMCP` Server
 
-The FastMCP server is your core interface to the MCP protocol. It handles connection management, protocol compliance, and message routing:
+The central object representing your MCP application. It handles connections, protocol details, and routing.
 
 ```python
 from fastmcp import FastMCP
@@ -173,397 +178,576 @@ from fastmcp import FastMCP
 # Create a named server
 mcp = FastMCP("My App")
 
-# Specify dependencies for deployment and development
+# Specify dependencies needed when deployed via `fastmcp install`
 mcp = FastMCP("My App", dependencies=["pandas", "numpy"])
 ```
 
-### Resources
-
-Resources are how you expose data to LLMs. They're similar to GET endpoints in a REST API - they provide data but shouldn't perform significant computation or have side effects. Some examples:
+### Tools
 
-- File contents
-- Database schemas
-- API responses
-- System information
+Tools allow LLMs to perform actions by executing your Python functions. They are ideal for tasks that involve computation, external API calls, or side effects.
 
-Resources can be static:
-```python
-@mcp.resource("config://app")
-def get_config() -> str:
-    """Static configuration data"""
-    return "App configuration here"
-```
+Decorate synchronous or asynchronous functions with `@mcp.tool()`. FastMCP automatically generates the necessary MCP schema based on type hints and docstrings. Pydantic models can be used for complex inputs.
 
-Or dynamic with parameters (FastMCP automatically handles these as MCP templates):
 ```python
-@mcp.resource("users://{user_id}/profile")
-def get_user_profile(user_id: str) -> str:
-    """Dynamic user data"""
-    return f"Profile data for user {user_id}"
-```
-
-### Tools
+import httpx
+from pydantic import BaseModel
 
-Tools let LLMs take actions through your server. Unlike resources, tools are expected to perform computation and have side effects. They're similar to POST endpoints in a REST API.
+class UserInfo(BaseModel):
+    user_id: int
+    notify: bool = False
 
-Simple calculation example:
-```python
 @mcp.tool()
-def calculate_bmi(weight_kg: float, height_m: float) -> float:
-    """Calculate BMI given weight in kg and height in meters"""
-    return weight_kg / (height_m ** 2)
-```
-
-HTTP request example:
-```python
-import httpx
+async def send_notification(user: UserInfo, message: str) -> dict:
+    """Sends a notification to a user if requested."""
+    if user.notify:
+        # Simulate sending notification
+        print(f"Notifying user {user.user_id}: {message}")
+        return {"status": "sent", "user_id": user.user_id}
+    return {"status": "skipped", "user_id": user.user_id}
 
 @mcp.tool()
-async def fetch_weather(city: str) -> str:
-    """Fetch current weather for a city"""
-    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
-        response = await client.get(
-            f"https://api.weather.com/{city}"
-        )
-        return response.text
+def get_stock_price(ticker: str) -> float:
+    """Gets the current price for a stock ticker."""
+    # Replace with actual API call
+    prices = {"AAPL": 180.50, "GOOG": 140.20}
+    return prices.get(ticker.upper(), 0.0)
 ```
 
-Complex input handling example:
-```python
-from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
-from typing import Annotated
+### Resources
 
-class ShrimpTank(BaseModel):
-    class Shrimp(BaseModel):
-        name: Annotated[str, Field(max_length=10)]
+Resources expose data to LLMs. They should primarily provide information without significant computation or side effects (like GET requests).
 
-    shrimp: list[Shrimp]
+Decorate functions with `@mcp.resource("your://uri")`. Use curly braces `{}` in the URI to define dynamic resources (templates) where parts of the URI become function parameters.
 
-@mcp.tool()
-def name_shrimp(
-    tank: ShrimpTank,
-    # You can use pydantic Field in function signatures for validation.
-    extra_names: Annotated[list[str], Field(max_length=10)],
-) -> list[str]:
-    """List all shrimp names in the tank"""
-    return [shrimp.name for shrimp in tank.shrimp] + extra_names
+```python
+# Static resource returning simple text
+@mcp.resource("config://app-version")
+def get_app_version() -> str:
+    """Returns the application version."""
+    return "v2.1.0"
+
+# Dynamic resource template expecting a 'user_id' from the URI
+@mcp.resource("db://users/{user_id}/email")
+async def get_user_email(user_id: str) -> str:
+    """Retrieves the email address for a given user ID."""
+    # Replace with actual database lookup
+    emails = {"123": "alice@example.com", "456": "bob@example.com"}
+    return emails.get(user_id, "not_found@example.com")
+
+# Resource returning JSON data
+@mcp.resource("data://product-categories")
+def get_categories() -> list[str]:
+    """Returns a list of available product categories."""
+    return ["Electronics", "Books", "Home Goods"]
 ```
 
 ### Prompts
 
-Prompts are reusable templates that help LLMs interact with your server effectively. They're like "best practices" encoded into your server. A prompt can be as simple as a string:
+Prompts define reusable templates or interaction patterns for the LLM. They help guide the LLM on how to use your server's capabilities effectively.
 
-```python
-@mcp.prompt()
-def review_code(code: str) -> str:
-    return f"Please review this code:\n\n{code}"
-```
+Decorate functions with `@mcp.prompt()`. The function should return the desired prompt content, which can be a simple string, a `Message` object (like `UserMessage` or `AssistantMessage`), or a list of these.
 
-Or a more structured sequence of messages:
 ```python
 from fastmcp.prompts.base import UserMessage, AssistantMessage
 
 @mcp.prompt()
-def debug_error(error: str) -> list[Message]:
+def ask_review(code_snippet: str) -> str:
+    """Generates a standard code review request."""
+    return f"Please review the following code snippet for potential bugs and style issues:\n```python\n{code_snippet}\n```"
+
+@mcp.prompt()
+def debug_session_start(error_message: str) -> list[Message]:
+    """Initiates a debugging help session."""
     return [
-        UserMessage("I'm seeing this error:"),
-        UserMessage(error),
-        AssistantMessage("I'll help debug that. What have you tried so far?")
+        UserMessage(f"I encountered an error:\n{error_message}"),
+        AssistantMessage("Okay, I can help with that. Can you provide the full traceback and tell me what you were trying to do?")
     ]
 ```
 
+### Context
+
+Gain access to MCP server capabilities *within* your tool or resource functions by adding a parameter type-hinted with `fastmcp.Context`.
+
+```python
+from fastmcp import Context, FastMCP
+
+mcp = FastMCP("Context Demo")
+
+@mcp.resource("system://status")
+async def get_system_status(ctx: Context) -> dict:
+    """Checks system status and logs information."""
+    await ctx.info("Checking system status...")
+    # Perform checks
+    await ctx.report_progress(1, 1) # Report completion
+    return {"status": "OK", "load": 0.5, "client": ctx.client_id}
+
+@mcp.tool()
+async def process_large_file(file_uri: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
+    """Processes a large file, reporting progress and reading resources."""
+    await ctx.info(f"Starting processing for {file_uri}")
+    # Read the resource using the context
+    file_content_resource = await ctx.read_resource(file_uri)
+    file_content = file_content_resource[0].content # Assuming single text content
+    lines = file_content.splitlines()
+    total_lines = len(lines)
+
+    for i, line in enumerate(lines):
+        # Process line...
+        if (i + 1) % 100 == 0: # Report progress every 100 lines
+            await ctx.report_progress(i + 1, total_lines)
+
+    await ctx.info(f"Finished processing {file_uri}")
+    return f"Processed {total_lines} lines."
+
+```
+
+The `Context` object provides:
+*   Logging: `ctx.debug()`, `ctx.info()`, `ctx.warning()`, `ctx.error()`
+*   Progress Reporting: `ctx.report_progress(current, total)`
+*   Resource Access: `await ctx.read_resource(uri)`
+*   Request Info: `ctx.request_id`, `ctx.client_id`
+*   Sampling (Advanced): `await ctx.sample(...)` to ask the connected LLM client for completions.
 
 ### Images
 
-FastMCP provides an `Image` class that automatically handles image data in your server:
+Easily handle image input and output using the `fastmcp.Image` helper class.
 
 ```python
 from fastmcp import FastMCP, Image
 from PIL import Image as PILImage
+import io
+
+mcp = FastMCP("Image Demo")
 
 @mcp.tool()
-def create_thumbnail(image_path: str) -> Image:
-    """Create a thumbnail from an image"""
-    img = PILImage.open(image_path)
+def create_thumbnail(image_data: Image) -> Image:
+    """Creates a 100x100 thumbnail from the provided image."""
+    img = PILImage.open(io.BytesIO(image_data.data)) # Assumes image_data received as Image with bytes
     img.thumbnail((100, 100))
-    
-    # FastMCP automatically handles conversion and MIME types
-    return Image(data=img.tobytes(), format="png")
+    buffer = io.BytesIO()
+    img.save(buffer, format="PNG")
+    # Return a new Image object with the thumbnail data
+    return Image(data=buffer.getvalue(), format="png")
 
 @mcp.tool()
-def load_image(path: str) -> Image:
-    """Load an image from disk"""
-    # FastMCP handles reading and format detection
+def load_image_from_disk(path: str) -> Image:
+    """Loads an image from the specified path."""
+    # Handles reading file and detecting format based on extension
     return Image(path=path)
 ```
+FastMCP handles the conversion to/from the base64-encoded format required by the MCP protocol.
 
-Images can be used as the result of both tools and resources.
 
-### Context
+### MCP Clients
 
-The Context object gives your tools and resources access to MCP capabilities. To use it, add a parameter annotated with `fastmcp.Context`:
+The `Client` class lets you interact with any MCP server (not just FastMCP ones) from Python code:
 
 ```python
-from fastmcp import FastMCP, Context
+from fastmcp import Client
 
-@mcp.tool()
-async def long_task(files: list[str], ctx: Context) -> str:
-    """Process multiple files with progress tracking"""
-    for i, file in enumerate(files):
-        ctx.info(f"Processing {file}")
-        await ctx.report_progress(i, len(files))
-        
-        # Read another resource if needed
-        data = await ctx.read_resource(f"file://{file}")
+async with Client("path/to/server") as client:
+    # Call a tool
+    result = await client.call_tool("weather", {"location": "San Francisco"})
+    print(result)
+    
+    # Read a resource
+    res = await client.read_resource("db://users/123/profile")
+    print(res)
+```
+
+You can connect to servers using any supported transport protocol (Stdio, SSE, FastMCP, etc.). If you don't specify a transport, the `Client` class automatically attempts to detect an appropriate one from your connection string or server object.
+
+#### Client Methods
+
+The `Client` class exposes several methods for interacting with MCP servers.
+
+```python
+async with Client("path/to/server") as client:
+    # List available tools
+    tools = await client.list_tools()
+    
+    # List available resources
+    resources = await client.list_resources()
+    
+    # Call a tool with arguments
+    result = await client.call_tool("generate_report", {"user_id": 123})
+    
+    # Read a resource
+    user_data = await client.read_resource("db://users/123/profile")
         
-    return "Processing complete"
+    # Get a prompt
+    greeting = await client.get_prompt("welcome", {"name": "Alice"})
+    
+    # Send progress updates
+    await client.progress("task-123", 50, 100)  # 50% complete
+    
+    # Basic connectivity testing
+    await client.ping()
 ```
 
-The Context object provides:
-- Progress reporting through `report_progress()`
-- Logging via `debug()`, `info()`, `warning()`, and `error()`
-- Resource access through `read_resource()`
-- Request metadata via `request_id` and `client_id`
+These methods correspond directly to MCP protocol operations, making it easy to interact with any MCP-compatible server (not just FastMCP ones).
 
-## Running Your Server
+#### Transport Options
 
-There are three main ways to use your FastMCP server, each suited for different stages of development:
+FastMCP supports various transport protocols for connecting to MCP servers:
 
-### Development Mode (Recommended for Building & Testing)
+```python
+from fastmcp import Client
+from fastmcp.client.transports import (
+    SSETransport, 
+    PythonStdioTransport, 
+    FastMCPTransport
+)
 
-The fastest way to test and debug your server is with the MCP Inspector:
+# Connect to a server over SSE (common for web-based MCP servers)
+async with Client(SSETransport("http://localhost:8000/mcp")) as client:
+    # Use client here...
 
-```bash
-fastmcp dev server.py
+# Connect to a Python script using stdio (useful for local tools)
+async with Client(PythonStdioTransport("path/to/script.py")) as client:
+    # Use client here...
+
+# Connect directly to a FastMCP server object in the same process
+from your_app import mcp_server
+async with Client(FastMCPTransport(mcp_server)) as client:
+    # Use client here...
 ```
 
-This launches a web interface where you can:
-- Test your tools and resources interactively
-- See detailed logs and error messages
-- Monitor server performance
-- Set environment variables for testing
-
-During development, you can:
-- Add dependencies with `--with`: 
-  ```bash
-  fastmcp dev server.py --with pandas --with numpy
-  ```
-- Mount your local code for live updates:
-  ```bash
-  fastmcp dev server.py --with-editable .
-  ```
+Common transport options include:
+- `SSETransport`: Connect to a server via Server-Sent Events (HTTP)
+- `PythonStdioTransport`: Run a Python script and communicate via stdio
+- `FastMCPTransport`: Connect directly to a FastMCP server object
+- `WSTransport`: Connect via WebSockets
 
-### Claude Desktop Integration (For Regular Use)
+In addition, if you pass a connection string or `FastMCP` server object to the `Client` constructor, it will try to automatically detect the appropriate transport.
 
-Once your server is ready, install it in Claude Desktop to use it with Claude:
+#### LLM Sampling
 
-```bash
-fastmcp install server.py
+Sampling is an MCP feature that allows a server to request a completion from the client LLM, enabling sophisticated use cases while maintaining security and privacy on the server.
+
+```python
+import marvin  # Or any other LLM client
+from fastmcp import Client, Context, FastMCP
+from fastmcp.client.sampling import RequestContext, SamplingMessage, SamplingParams
+
+# -- SERVER SIDE --
+# Create a server that requests LLM completions from the client
+
+mcp = FastMCP("Sampling Example")
+
+@mcp.tool()
+async def generate_poem(topic: str, context: Context) -> str:
+    """Generate a short poem about the given topic."""
+    # The server requests a completion from the client LLM
+    response = await context.sample(
+        f"Write a short poem about {topic}",
+        system_prompt="You are a talented poet who writes concise, evocative verses."
+    )
+    return response.text
+
+@mcp.tool()
+async def summarize_document(document_uri: str, context: Context) -> str:
+    """Summarize a document using client-side LLM capabilities."""
+    # First read the document as a resource
+    doc_resource = await context.read_resource(document_uri)
+    doc_content = doc_resource[0].content  # Assuming single text content
+    
+    # Then ask the client LLM to summarize it
+    response = await context.sample(
+        f"Summarize the following document:\n\n{doc_content}",
+        system_prompt="You are an expert summarizer. Create a concise summary."
+    )
+    return response.text
+
+# -- CLIENT SIDE --
+# Create a client that handles the sampling requests
+
+async def sampling_handler(
+    messages: list[SamplingMessage],
+    params: SamplingParams,
+    ctx: RequestContext,
+) -> str:
+    """Handle sampling requests from the server using your preferred LLM."""
+    # Extract the messages and system prompt
+    prompt = [m.content.text for m in messages if m.content.type == "text"]
+    system_instruction = params.systemPrompt or "You are a helpful assistant."
+    
+    # Use your preferred LLM client to generate completions
+    return await marvin.say_async(
+        message=prompt,
+        instructions=system_instruction,
+    )
+
+# Connect them together
+async with Client(mcp, sampling_handler=sampling_handler) as client:
+    result = await client.call_tool("generate_poem", {"topic": "autumn leaves"})
+    print(result.content[0].text)
 ```
 
-Your server will run in an isolated environment with:
-- Automatic installation of dependencies specified in your FastMCP instance:
-  ```python
-  mcp = FastMCP("My App", dependencies=["pandas", "numpy"])
-  ```
-- Custom naming via `--name`:
-  ```bash
-  fastmcp install server.py --name "My Analytics Server"
-  ```
-- Environment variable management:
-  ```bash
-  # Set variables individually
-  fastmcp install server.py -e API_KEY=abc123 -e DB_URL=postgres://...
-  
-  # Or load from a .env file
-  fastmcp install server.py -f .env
-  ```
+This pattern is powerful because:
+1. The server can delegate text generation to the client LLM
+2. The server remains focused on business logic and data handling
+3. The client maintains control over which LLM is used and how requests are handled
+4. No sensitive data needs to be sent to external APIs 
 
-### Direct Execution (For Advanced Use Cases)
+#### Roots Access
 
-For advanced scenarios like custom deployments or running without Claude, you can execute your server directly:
+FastMCP exposes the MCP roots functionality, allowing clients to specify which file system roots they can access. This creates a secure boundary for tools that need to work with files. Note that the server must account for client roots explicitly.
 
 ```python
-from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from fastmcp import Client, RootsList
 
-mcp = FastMCP("My App")
+# Specify file roots that the client can access
+roots = ["file:///path/to/allowed/directory"]
 
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    mcp.run()
+async with Client(mcp_server, roots=roots) as client:
+    # Now tools in the MCP server can access files in the specified roots
+    await client.call_tool("process_file", {"filename": "data.csv"})
 ```
 
-Run it with:
-```bash
-# Using the FastMCP CLI
-fastmcp run server.py
+## Advanced Features
 
-# Or with Python/uv directly
-python server.py
-uv run python server.py
-```
+Building on the core concepts, FastMCP v2 introduces powerful features for more complex scenarios:
 
 
-Note: When running directly, you are responsible for ensuring all dependencies are available in your environment. Any dependencies specified on the FastMCP instance are ignored.
+### Proxy Servers
 
-Choose this method when you need:
-- Custom deployment configurations
-- Integration with other services
-- Direct control over the server lifecycle
+Create a FastMCP server that acts as an intermediary, proxying requests to another MCP endpoint (which could be a server or another client connection).
 
-### Server Object Names
+**Use Cases:**
 
-All FastMCP commands will look for a server object called `mcp`, `app`, or `server` in your file. If you have a different object name or multiple servers in one file, use the syntax `server.py:my_server`:
+*   **Transport Conversion:** Expose a server running on Stdio (like many local tools) over SSE or WebSockets, making it accessible to web clients or Claude Desktop.
+*   **Adding Functionality:** Wrap an existing server to add authentication, request logging, or modified tool behavior.
+*   **Aggregating Servers:** Combine multiple backend MCP servers behind a single proxy interface (though `mount` might be simpler for this).
 
-```bash
-# Using a standard name
-fastmcp run server.py
+```python
+import asyncio
+from fastmcp import FastMCP, Client
+from fastmcp.client.transports import PythonStdioTransport
+
+# Create a client that connects to the original server

-## Examples
+`FastMCP.as_proxy` is an `async` classmethod. It connects to the target, discovers its capabilities, and dynamically builds the proxy server instance.
+
 
-Here are a few examples of FastMCP servers. For more, see the `examples/` directory.
 
-### Echo Server
-A simple server demonstrating resources, tools, and prompts:
+### Composing MCP Servers
+
+Structure larger MCP applications by creating modular FastMCP servers and "mounting" them onto a parent server. This automatically handles prefixing for tool names and resource URIs, preventing conflicts.
 
 ```python
 from fastmcp import FastMCP
 
-mcp = FastMCP("Echo")
+# --- Weather MCP ---
+weather_mcp = FastMCP("Weather Service")
 
-@mcp.resource("echo://{message}")
-def echo_resource(message: str) -> str:
-    """Echo a message as a resource"""
-    return f"Resource echo: {message}"
+@weather_mcp.tool()
+def get_forecast(city: str): 
+    return f"Sunny in {city}"
 
-@mcp.tool()
-def echo_tool(message: str) -> str:
-    """Echo a message as a tool"""
-    return f"Tool echo: {message}"
+@weather_mcp.resource("data://temp/{city}")
+def get_temp(city: str): 
+    return 25.0
 
-@mcp.prompt()
-def echo_prompt(message: str) -> str:
-    """Create an echo prompt"""
-    return f"Please process this message: {message}"
-```
+# --- News MCP ---
+news_mcp = FastMCP("News Service")
 
-### SQLite Explorer
-A more complex example showing database integration:
+@news_mcp.tool()
+def fetch_headlines():
+    return ["Big news!", "Other news"]
 
-```python
-from fastmcp import FastMCP
-import sqlite3
+@news_mcp.resource("data://latest_story")
+def get_story():
+    return "A story happened."
 
-mcp = FastMCP("SQLite Explorer")
+# --- Composite MCP ---
 
-@mcp.resource("schema://main")
-def get_schema() -> str:
-    """Provide the database schema as a resource"""
-    conn = sqlite3.connect("database.db")
-    schema = conn.execute(
-        "SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'"
-    ).fetchall()
-    return "\n".join(sql[0] for sql in schema if sql[0])
+mcp = FastMCP("Composite")
+
+# Mount sub-apps with prefixes
+mcp.mount("weather", weather_mcp) # Tools prefixed "weather/", resources prefixed "weather+"
+mcp.mount("news", news_mcp)       # Tools prefixed "news/", resources prefixed "news+"
 
 @mcp.tool()
-def query_data(sql: str) -> str:
-    """Execute SQL queries safely"""
-    conn = sqlite3.connect("database.db")
-    try:
-        result = conn.execute(sql).fetchall()
-        return "\n".join(str(row) for row in result)
-    except Exception as e:
-        return f"Error: {str(e)}"
+def ping(): 
+    return "Composite OK"
 
-@mcp.prompt()
-def analyze_table(table: str) -> str:
-    """Create a prompt template for analyzing tables"""
-    return f"""Please analyze this database table:
-Table: {table}
-Schema: 
-{get_schema()}
-

-<details>
+### OpenAPI & FastAPI Generation
 
-<summary><h3>Open Developer Guide</h3></summary>
+Leverage your existing web APIs by automatically generating FastMCP servers from them.
 
-### Prerequisites
+By default, the following rules are applied:
+- `GET` requests -> MCP resources
+- `GET` requests with path parameters -> MCP resource templates
+- All other HTTP methods -> MCP tools
+  
+You can override these rules to customize or even ignore certain endpoints.
+
+**From FastAPI:**
 
-FastMCP requires Python 3.10+ and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
+```python
+from fastapi import FastAPI
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
 
-### Installation
+# Your existing FastAPI application
+fastapi_app = FastAPI(title="My Existing API")
 
-For development, we recommend installing FastMCP with development dependencies, which includes various utilities the maintainers find useful.
+@fastapi_app.get("/status")
+def get_status(): 
+    return {"status": "running"}
 
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp.git
-cd fastmcp
-uv sync --frozen --extra dev
-```
+@fastapi_app.post("/items")
+def create_item(name: str, price: float): 
+    return {"id": 1, "name": name, "price": price}
 
-For running tests only (e.g., in CI), you only need the testing dependencies:
+# Generate an MCP server directly from the FastAPI app
+mcp_server = FastMCP.from_fastapi(fastapi_app)
 
-```bash
-uv sync --frozen --extra tests
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    mcp_server.run()
 ```
 
-### Testing
+**From an OpenAPI Specification:**
+
+```python
+import httpx
+import json
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
 
-Please make sure to test any new functionality. Your tests should be simple and atomic and anticipate change rather than cement complex patterns.
+# Load the OpenAPI spec (dict)
+# with open("my_api_spec.json", "r") as f:
+#     openapi_spec = json.load(f)
+openapi_spec = { ... } # Your spec dict
 
-Run tests from the root directory:
+# Create an HTTP client to make requests to the actual API endpoint
+http_client = httpx.AsyncClient(base_url="https://api.yourservice.com")
 
+# Generate the MCP server
+mcp_server = FastMCP.from_openapi(openapi_spec, client=http_client)
 
-```bash
-pytest -vv
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    mcp_server.run()
 ```
+## Running Your Server
 
-### Formatting
+Choose the method that best suits your needs:
 
-FastMCP enforces a variety of required formats, which you can automatically enforce with pre-commit. 
+### Development Mode (Recommended for Building & Testing)
 
-Install the pre-commit hooks:
+Use `fastmcp dev` for an interactive testing environment with the MCP Inspector.
 
 ```bash
-pre-commit install
+fastmcp dev your_server_file.py
+# With temporary dependencies
+fastmcp dev your_server_file.py --with pandas --with numpy
+# With local package in editable mode
+fastmcp dev your_server_file.py --with-editable .
 ```
 
-The hooks will now run on every commit (as well as on every PR). To run them manually:
+### Claude Desktop Integration (For Regular Use)
+
+Use `fastmcp install` to set up your server for persistent use within the Claude Desktop app. It handles creating an isolated environment using `uv`.
 
 ```bash
-pre-commit run --all-files
+fastmcp install your_server_file.py
+# With a custom name in Claude
+fastmcp install your_server_file.py --name "My Analysis Tool"
+# With extra packages and environment variables
+fastmcp install server.py --with requests -v API_KEY=123 -f .env
 ```
 
-### Opening a Pull Request
+### Direct Execution (For Advanced Use Cases)
 
-Fork the repository and create a new branch:
+Run your server script directly for custom deployments or integrations outside of Claude. You manage the environment and dependencies yourself.
 
+Add to your `your_server_file.py`:
+```python
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    mcp.run() # Assuming 'mcp' is your FastMCP instance
+```
+Run with:
 ```bash
-git checkout -b my-branch
+python your_server_file.py
+# or
+uv run python your_server_file.py
 ```
 
-Make your changes and commit them:
+### Server Object Names
 
+If your `FastMCP` instance is not named `mcp`, `server`, or `app`, specify it using `file:object` syntax for the `dev` and `install` commands:
 
 ```bash
-git add . && git commit -m "My changes"
+fastmcp dev my_module.py:my_mcp_instance
+fastmcp install api.py:api_app
 ```
 
-Push your changes to your fork:
+## Examples
+
+Explore the `examples/` directory for code samples demonstrating various features:
+
+*   `simple_echo.py`: Basic tool, resource, and prompt.
+*   `complex_inputs.py`: Using Pydantic models for tool inputs.
+*   `mount_example.py`: Mounting multiple FastMCP servers.
+*   `sampling.py`: Using LLM completions within your MCP server.
+*   `screenshot.py`: Tool returning an Image object.
+*   `text_me.py`: Tool interacting with an external API.
+*   `memory.py`: More complex example with database interaction.
+
