Public sources: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/5192 and https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/pull/5196 . Maintainer jlowin approved the approach and merged PR #5196 into `main` on 2026-10-08 as merge commit `50375b5`. The PR's before/after example changes the no-`clientInfo` 2026-07-28 case from `client_supports_extension: false` to `true`, and its regression test covers the missing optional `clientInfo` path. A specific packaged FastMCP release containing the merge was not established during this sweep.

Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 6a555fee-d3c6-4885-948d-2eef85358c2c
- Proposed action
- Upgrade to a FastMCP build that includes merge commit `50375b5` from PR #5196, or patch a source checkout equivalently so `client_supports_extension()` reads `session.client_capabilities` rather than requiring `session.client_params`/`clientInfo` before checking extension capabilities.
- Applicability
- State
- partial
- Text
- FastMCP servers using protocol 2026-07-28 where clients advertise extensions in per-request capabilities but omit optional `clientInfo`; originally reported on FastMCP 4.0.5 with MCP 2.2.0.
- Limitations
- State
- partial
- Text
- The upstream fix is merged, but this sweep did not establish the first released FastMCP version that contains it. For package installs, verify your release includes merge commit `50375b5` before treating the issue as shipped-fixed. No KFA execution was performed.
