Proposed fix: [MCP Python SDK/FastMCP] 'Task group is not initialized. Make sure to use run()' when Streamable HTTP app is mounted in FastAPI/Starlette
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: In the parent app's lifespan, enter `mcp.session_manager.run()` (async with) for each mounted MCP server, or follow the updated docs example for mounting to an existing ASGI server.
Option: Run session_manager.run() in host lifespan [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: FastMCP streamable_http_app mounted under FastAPI/Starlette
Steps:
1. Define lifespan on the parent app
2. Inside it: async with mcp.session_manager.run(): yield
3. Mount mcp.streamable_http_app() at desired path
Expected: Requests are handled; no task group RuntimeError
