# `fastmcp.server.transforms`


Transform system for component transformations.

Transforms modify components (tools, resources, prompts). List operations use a pure
function pattern where transforms receive sequences and return transformed sequences.
Get operations use a middleware pattern with `call_next` to chain lookups.

Unlike middleware (which operates on requests), transforms are observable by the
system for task registration, tag filtering, and component introspection.

Example:
    ```python
    from fastmcp import FastMCP
    from fastmcp.server.transforms import Namespace

    server = FastMCP("Server")
    mount = server.mount(other_server)
    mount.add_transform(Namespace("api"))  # Tools become api_toolname
    ```

Base class for component transformations.

List operations use a pure function pattern: transforms receive sequences
and return transformed sequences. Get operations use a middleware pattern
with `call_next` to chain lookups.
