Events are things worth recording that are not tool calls, such as a
background job changing state or an LLM request made by a tool. They go
through the same queue as call records, are redacted the same way, link
to the running tool call when there is one, and can be recorded from any
thread. DatabaseSink writes them to {prefix}events and prunes them with
the same retention; events_for(key) reads them back.
The showcase repo is private and fastmcp-feedback-showcase was never
published, so both the link and the uvx command failed for everyone else.
Tested the new clone-and-run instructions against the now-public repo.
Changelog entry and version bump for linking feedback items to the tool
calls that preceded them. README documents the instrumentation parameter
of add_feedback_tools and the new feedback_call_links table that Alembic
hosts need to migrate.
Tested against real clients: a FastMCP 4.0.10 server keeps ctx.session_id
stable for clients that open sessions (curl on 2025-06-18, the FastMCP 3.3
Client, Claude Code over stdio). Claude Code and FastMCP 4's Client speak
MCP 2026-07-28, which has no HTTP sessions, so FastMCP generates an id per
request. Not a FastMCP bug; correct the comments and README note.
capture_recent_calls() picks the calls that led up to a feedback item:
same client session first, then the same user within a window, each link
recording which rule matched. It reads an in-memory buffer (so calls still
queued count) and falls back to DatabaseSink for other workers and
restarts. link_feedback() stores links against any feedback id in a
prefixed feedback_call_links table; feedback_context() reads them back.
add_feedback_tools(instrumentation=mw) makes submit_feedback link
automatically and report linked_calls.
session_key() works around FastMCP 4.0 returning a new ctx.session_id on
every call: it prefers the HTTP mcp-session-id header, then one key per
process for stdio, then ctx.session_id.
Also fixes a race where the writer and link_feedback both ran create_all
with create_tables=True.
468 tests pass on FastMCP 2.12.2, 2.14.3, 3.3.1, 3.4.7; 467 + 1 skip on
4.0.10. Still to do before release: execute the new README examples,
CHANGELOG, version bump.
DatabaseSink wrote the JSON literal null for missing args/result, so
WHERE args IS NULL matched nothing. Use none_as_null on the JSON and JSONB
column types. DDL is unchanged; existing rows keep JSON null.
Reported by blender-mcp from production.
InstrumentationMiddleware (and instrument(app)) records every tool call on
a FastMCP server: tool, timing, outcome and original error type, session
and request ids, argument and result sizes, plus identity and enrichment
hook output. Modes off/meta/full; full adds redacted args and results.
Recording can't slow or break a call. Records reach sinks through a
bounded queue drained by a background task and are dropped, counted, when
it fills. Sink and hook failures are logged, never raised, and async hooks
are cut off after hook_timeout.
Redactor strips secrets by key at any depth and by value pattern from
args, results, error text and hook output. DatabaseSink runs on async
SQLAlchemy, takes a host AsyncEngine, writes to a prefixed table and never
creates it unless asked; build_metadata() plugs into Alembic env.py.
Verified on FastMCP 2.12.2, 2.14.3, 3.3.1, 3.4.7 and 4.0.10. CI matrix
gains 3.x. Version 2026.09.27.1.
compose_feedback_services() called import_server() without awaiting it.
That method became async in FastMCP 2.14, so on the version this package
was built against it composed nothing while logging success. FastMCP 4
removed it outright. Use mount(), which is sync on 2.12 through 4.x.
The test suite could not start (pytest-html hook, plugin not installed),
so nothing caught this. Add pytest-html, bring examples/ over from the docs
repo since the integration tests import them, and fix the tests that had
drifted from the code. 407 tests pass on FastMCP 2.12.2, 2.14.3 and 4.0.10.
- Declare fastmcp>=2.12.2,<5; CI matrix covers each family plus a
non-blocking canary on the newest FastMCP
- Add a composition test with real servers; the mocked ones could not
see a missing await
- Rewrite the README against the actual API and execute its examples
- Ignore ruff UP042: StrEnum would change stored enum formatting
- Version 2026.09.27
The mixin modules import shared types from base.py, but they
weren't being re-exported. Add __all__ with explicit re-exports for:
- Feedback, FeedbackStatus, FeedbackType (from models)
- feedback_to_dict (from models)
- mcp_tool (from fastmcp)
Bump version to 2026.01.12.1
Production-ready feedback collection system for FastMCP servers.
Features:

- Multi-database support (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- Privacy-compliant analytics with FeedbackInsights
- Server composition with create_feedback_server()
- Full type hints and Pydantic validation
- 97%+ test coverage
