I have same wrong, I use fastapi mount mcpserver

fastmcp = FastMCP(
 self.server_config.get("name", "MCP Server"), message_path="/mcp/messages/"
 )
FastApi.mount(path="/mcp", app=self.main_server.sse_app())``` 
But client request shows Client error '404 Not Found' for url 'http://localhost:ip/mcp/messages/?session_id=115273056f3b4d11b2ed15010211ecda'

I'm also running into this.

fast-agent-mcp==0.2.21
fastapi-mcp==0.3.3
mcp[cli]==1.7.1

For folks using fastapi-mcp, the cause might be that you're using uvicorn workers: tadata-org/fastapi_mcp#56
