Recommended action: Configure transport_security=TransportSecuritySettings(allowed_hosts=[...your host:*...], allowed_origins=[...]) or pass the real host to FastMCP at construction; ensure proxies forward correct Host.
Option: Add deployment host to allowed_hosts [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: Proxied/gateway/custom-domain deployments
Steps:
1. from mcp.server.transport_security import TransportSecuritySettings
2. FastMCP(..., transport_security=TransportSecuritySettings(enable_dns_rebinding_protection=True, allowed_hosts=['localhost:*','your.host:*'], allowed_origins=['https://your.host']))
3. Ensure reverse proxy forwards Host
Expected: Requests accepted without 421
