# `fastmcp.server.providers.openapi.provider`


OpenAPIProvider for creating MCP components from OpenAPI specifications.

## Classes

### `OpenAPIProvider` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/openapi/provider.py#L51" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>


Provider that creates MCP components from an OpenAPI specification.

Components are created eagerly during initialization by parsing the OpenAPI
spec. Each component makes HTTP calls to the described API endpoints.


**Methods:**

#### `lifespan` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/openapi/provider.py#L184" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
lifespan(self) -> AsyncIterator[None]
```

Manage the lifecycle of the auto-created httpx client.


#### `get_tasks` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/openapi/provider.py#L434" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python
get_tasks(self) -> Sequence[FastMCPComponent]
```

Return empty list - OpenAPI components don't support tasks.
