Free and open-source alternatives to FastMCP

FastMCP alternatives in detail

  1. Claude Agent SDK

    freeSDK

    The Claude Agent SDK is a toolkit for building custom AI agents on the same harness that powers Claude Code. Official Python and TypeScript SDKs expose the core agent loop — reading files, running commands, calling tools, iterating on feedback — as a programmable library, with MCP support, configurable permissions, streaming, and multi-turn sessions.

  2. MCP Inspector

    open sourceMITmacOS, Linux, WindowsMCP

    MCP Inspector is the official open-source tool for testing and debugging Model Context Protocol servers. It connects to a local stdio or remote Streamable HTTP server, lists its tools, resources, and prompts, calls them with arbitrary inputs, and shows the raw JSON-RPC traffic — all from a local web UI run via npx, with no client or model in the loop.

  3. Smithery

    freemiumWebPlatform

    Smithery is a registry and hosting platform for Model Context Protocol servers. It solves discovery — a searchable catalog with provenance — and deployment: install a server into your client with one Smithery CLI command, or connect to hosted remote instances instead of running them yourself. Freemium, with a free tier for discovery.
