fastmcp.server.transforms.visibility

Visibility transform for marking component visibility state. Each Visibility instance marks components via internal metadata. Multiple visibility transforms can be stacked - later transforms override earlier ones. Final filtering happens at the Provider level.

​
Functions

​
is_enabled 

is_enabled(component: FastMCPComponent) -> bool
Check if component is enabled. Returns True if:
  • No visibility mark exists (default is enabled)
  • Visibility mark is True
Returns False if visibility mark is False. Args:
  • component: Component to check.
Returns:
  • True if component should be enabled/visible to clients.

​
get_visibility_rules 

get_visibility_rules(context: Context) -> list[dict[str, Any]]
Load visibility rule dicts from session state.

​
save_visibility_rules 

save_visibility_rules(context: Context, rules: list[dict[str, Any]]) -> None
Save visibility rule dicts to session state and send notifications. Args:
  • context: The context to save rules for.
  • rules: The visibility rules to save.
  • components: Optional hint about which component types are affected. If None, sends notifications for all types (safe default). If provided, only sends notifications for specified types.

​
create_visibility_transforms 

create_visibility_transforms(rules: list[dict[str, Any]]) -> list[Visibility]
Convert rule dicts to Visibility transforms.

​
get_session_transforms 

get_session_transforms(context: Context) -> list[Visibility]
Get session-specific Visibility transforms from state store.

​
enable_components 

enable_components(context: Context) -> None
Enable components matching criteria for this session only. Session rules override global transforms. Rules accumulate - each call adds a new rule to the session. Later marks override earlier ones (Visibility transform semantics). Sends notifications to this session only: ToolListChangedNotification, ResourceListChangedNotification, and PromptListChangedNotification. Args:
  • context: The context for this session.
  • names: Component names or URIs to match.
  • keys: Component keys to match (e.g., ).
  • version: Component version spec to match.
  • tags: Tags to match (component must have at least one).
  • components: Component types to match (e.g., ).
  • match_all: If True, matches all components regardless of other criteria.

​
disable_components 

disable_components(context: Context) -> None
Disable components matching criteria for this session only. Session rules override global transforms. Rules accumulate - each call adds a new rule to the session. Later marks override earlier ones (Visibility transform semantics). Sends notifications to this session only: ToolListChangedNotification, ResourceListChangedNotification, and PromptListChangedNotification. Args:
  • context: The context for this session.
  • names: Component names or URIs to match.
  • keys: Component keys to match (e.g., ).
  • version: Component version spec to match.
  • tags: Tags to match (component must have at least one).
  • components: Component types to match (e.g., ).
  • match_all: If True, matches all components regardless of other criteria.

​
reset_visibility 

reset_visibility(context: Context) -> None
Clear all session visibility rules. Use this to reset session visibility back to global defaults. Sends notifications to this session only: ToolListChangedNotification, ResourceListChangedNotification, and PromptListChangedNotification. Args:
  • context: The context for this session.

​
apply_session_transforms 

apply_session_transforms(components: Sequence[ComponentT]) -> Sequence[ComponentT]
Apply session-specific visibility transforms to components. This helper applies session-level enable/disable rules by marking components with their visibility state. Session transforms override global transforms due to mark-based semantics (later marks win). Args:
  • components: The components to apply session transforms to.
Returns:
  • The components with session transforms applied.

​
Classes

​
Visibility

Sets visibility state on matching components. Does NOT filter inline - just marks components with visibility state. Later transforms in the chain can override earlier marks. Final filtering happens at the Provider level after all transforms run. Methods:

​
list_tools 

list_tools(self, tools: Sequence[Tool]) -> Sequence[Tool]
Mark tools by visibility state.

​
get_tool 

get_tool(self, name: str, call_next: GetToolNext) -> Tool | None
Mark tool if found.

​
list_resources 

list_resources(self, resources: Sequence[Resource]) -> Sequence[Resource]
Mark resources by visibility state.

​
get_resource 

get_resource(self, uri: str, call_next: GetResourceNext) -> Resource | None
Mark resource if found.

​
list_resource_templates 

list_resource_templates(self, templates: Sequence[ResourceTemplate]) -> Sequence[ResourceTemplate]
Mark resource templates by visibility state.

​
get_resource_template 

get_resource_template(self, uri: str, call_next: GetResourceTemplateNext) -> ResourceTemplate | None
Mark resource template if found.

​
list_prompts 

list_prompts(self, prompts: Sequence[Prompt]) -> Sequence[Prompt]
Mark prompts by visibility state.

​
get_prompt 

get_prompt(self, name: str, call_next: GetPromptNext) -> Prompt | None
Mark prompt if found.
