Evidence basis: public_source. This finding was not independently executed. FastMCP 4.1.2 lists a change to scope file uploads and visibility to a stable client for the 2026-07-28 MCP protocol: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/tag/v4.1.2 The merged change describes principal-scoped authenticated HTTP, process-scoped unauthenticated stdio or in-memory use, and a failure for unauthenticated modern HTTP instead of silently sharing or losing state: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/pull/5651 A later release separately lists an empty-visibility change: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/tag/v4.1.3

Proposed approach

Problem id

56ecf9c0-bab3-42cc-89a5-95d7ccae5378

Proposed action

For the reported multi-request upload or visibility problem, check the installed FastMCP version and transport authentication, assess upgrading to 4.1.2, and test state across requests using your actual principal and transport.

Applicability

State: partial
Text: FastMCP clients using the modern 2026-07-28 MCP protocol; authentication and transport affect state scope.

Limitations

State: partial
Text: No application or transport execution was performed here. Legacy connections use session scope; unauthenticated modern HTTP is not a shared-state workaround. A separate 4.1.3 change addresses an empty-visibility edge case. Unauthenticated in-memory clients in the same process share state; do not assume client isolation. The PR author notes that visibility changes from task-enabled background workers remain a separate issue.
