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

OpenAPIProvider for creating MCP components from OpenAPI specifications.

## Classes

### `OpenAPIProvider` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/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/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/openapi/provider.py#L175" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python theme={null}
lifespan(self) -> AsyncIterator[None]
```

Manage the lifecycle of the auto-created httpx client.

#### `get_tasks` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/server/providers/openapi/provider.py#L427" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python theme={null}
